Android 8.1 dropped this week in a developer preview, so we tossed it on both a Pixel XL and Pixel 2 XL to see what has changed. For the Pixel 2 XL, not much, but the Pixel phones from last year are really getting the new Pixel 2 experience.
Let’s take a look!

I have the lg aristo 2 i update it on new year (btw happy new year) and after it was done i saw that all of the apps are bigger then it was faster and it give me 2.35GB storage back im like YYYAAASSS QUEEN so now its faster and i can have a youtube window so i can go home and the vid is on a tiny window and its soo cool
Edit: forgot to say i love android 8.1 oreo its AWESOME
Would love to see what the new changes are but he talks so fast …there's others from a different language that I can understand better…slow the f"*k down !
Ok new stuff, but is the new version laggy… or do some things stutter, what about battery life….. these are fat more important than a few new animations or extensions of the way of doing something….
This may be off topic but it's a heads up. If you use Xposed on Oreo don't use the June, 2018 security patch. Xposed won't flash properly(Bootloop). Roll back to Feb security patch.
So when will other phones be getting 8.1 or will they just skip straight to P? I have an S9 and I can't find anything on update times. I assume 7 months after the Pixels.
How do I keep screen light on longer.?Fades now after 10 seconds. Found no clues in settings.
Specific Did the Samsung S9 line or S8 line ever get 8.1?I didnt get it!
How does the bloototh work tho?
Does it just count or does it actually show the percantage?
Seems like just more stuff to use up memory…and more stuff to go wrong…..simple is better
How do you move your apps in to the SD card? Anybody? In this version of Android 8.1.0
I had 90%at same time when u show pataray lol
