3 Reasons Not to Install Galaxy S8 Nougat & 5 Reasons You Should

Don't Install It If You're Unprepared

Those are a few reasons to install a new Galaxy S8 Nougat build soon after it arrives for your device. Here are a few reasons to hold off. 

It's difficult to predict exactly how a new Android Nougat build will impact your Galaxy S8's performance. Updates aren't supposed to have a negative impact on performance but we always hear horror stories after Samsung and its carrier partners release new software. 

This is precisely why you'll want to prepare your device before you upgrade to a new version of Galaxy S8 software. A little prep work could go a long way toward preventing headaches. 

We've put together a step-by-step guide that will walk you through the process we use before we install an a new Android build on our devices. 

If you use your phone for work, we highly recommend checking in with IT (if you have an IT department) before you install because even the smallest updates can have a huge impact on the performance of your apps and services. 

If you don't have a lot of time to commit to the pre-installation process, you'll want to make sure your important files are backed up properly.
