So far, the update has been spotted in multiple markets including Europe, Asia, UAE, South America, and Africa, which are actually the regions where the Galaxy J7 Prime is mostly sold. Since the update is airborne and is rolling out based on regions, it’s possible that it has yet to arrive on your device besides having started rolling out several weeks ago.
Here is a summary of the models that have received an update to Oreo 8.1, the firmware version and the release date.
| Model No. | Oreo 8.1 firmware version | Release date |
