10 Things to Do Before Installing Galaxy S8 Android Pie

The Samsung Galaxy S8 Android Pie update is rolling out which means Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+, and Galaxy S8 Active owners should start preparing for its arrival.

The Galaxy S8 Android Pie beta is over and Samsung’s pushing the final version to Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ models around the globe.

The update is currently limited to a few regions, but we expect it to pickup speed as we push into the month of March. If you own a Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+, or Galaxy S8 Active, use this time wisely.

The Galaxy S8 Pie update went though a beta, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t problems on board. The roll out is young, but we’re hearing and seeing complaints about bugs and performance issues in the final version.

There’s a chance the Android Pie improves your Galaxy S8’s performance but there’s also a chance you run into these very same problems. That’s why it’s extremely important to prepare for the transition from Oreo to Pie.

There are some things you should do before you hit download. A little prep work before you install Android Pie will go a long way toward preventing major headaches.

In this guide we’ll take you through a few strategies that will help you avoid issues with your upgrade. We recommend spending at least 30 minutes preparing for Android Pie. If you don’t have a ton of time to commit to the pre-installation process, make sure you follow this first step.
