Samsung Experience 9.0 upgrade with Android Oreo

Samsung Experience 9.0 brings you Android Oreo, with exciting new features from Samsung and Google based on feedback from users like you.

We recommend that you back up your important data to keep it safe during the upgrade.
Some apps, including Samsung Pay, Samsung Internet, Samsung Notes, and Email, should be updated individually before you can update your OS.
- The user settings for Easy mode may be removed on the new OS. You may need to set them again after the OS upgrade.
- The Weather widget version update causes the Weather widget to disappear when idle. Drag the Weather widget to keep it from going idle after you update your OS.
- The Baidu search widget is replaced by the Baidu app.
- Added the app icon for Samsung Connect.
- Your Lock screen theme may be removed after the new OS version. You may need to select the theme again after the upgrade.
