Razer Phone gets Android 8.1 Oreo update

At the end of last month, Razer announced it was bringing Android Oreo to Razer Phone users. And now it seems that time has come. Android 8.1 is rolling out now to Razer Phone users. It’s rolling out slowly over the coming weeks so if it hasn’t landed on your device yet, you just need to wait for it a bit. According to Razer, what you can expect from the update include a “cleaner visual design, under-the-hood improvements for a better overall experience, Dolby Atmos app improvements, and support for the Netflix widget.” The update will also include “major” security patches and bug fixes.
