Last year you might recall that the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ were spotted at the FCC.

T-Mobile recently revealed that it's going to update two of its affordable Samsung devices to Android 8 Oreo: Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime, and Samsung
Galaxy Tab E 8.0 (both launched last year with Android 7 Nougat on board). This is newsworthy because cheap phones and tablets are often neglected when it comes to new software updates.
