Galaxy S6 Oreo Update: 6 Reasons to Get Excited & 2 Not To

New Samsung Keyboard

Samsung's made some big improvements to its stock keyboard in Android Oreo and we'd expect some of these changes to make it to the Galaxy S6 if the company decides to push Android 8.0 to the aging former flagships. 

First and foremost, the Android 8.0 Oreo update brings new emojis to Galaxy keyboards. They're much cleaner than the emojis you currently get with the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. 

If you aren't familiar with all of the new emoji characters on board Android 8.0 Oreo, you can get a good look at them right here. 

There are also a few other changes that could convince you to switch from a third-party keyboard back to the stock keyboard. 

Samsung's keyboard toolbar now gives you quick access to your most important functions and the GIF keyboard now lets you send GIFs via Samsung's keyboard.

The company's also included new high-contrast keyboards that'll be a little bit easier on the eyes.
