Weve been writing these stories for years, but they never change: phone owners wanting new software and waiting feverishly to hear when theyll get it.Well, as the headline suggests, the BlackBerry KeyOne is the latest phone to be upgraded to the newest version of Google OS - Android 8 Oreo, if youre confused - thanks to an update from a Canadian network.What's good about Android 8Android 8.0 Oreo is faster and more efficient, with boot times cut and battery-draining background activity restricted.Youll get picture-in-picture functionality for things like YouTube and Hangouts, and new notification dots for apps help you know what to look for.Theres also the new Visual Core for the camera to let phones take better pics, and AR stickers too to overlay your life.The update has been a long time coming - the KeyOne was launched in April 2017, on Android Nougat 7.1 - and with the imminent release of the BlackBerry Key2 wed have expected this update to appear sooner rather than later (as the newer phone will launch with Android 8.1 out of the box).The update was listed on Canadian carrier Rogers forums in the list of updates coming along for phones, stating that the KeyOne will be getting Android 8.0 (curiously not 8.1) and Wi-Fi calling although the latter feature is just for Rogers customers.Launch windowsWill the BlackBerry KeyOne Oreo update be launching around the world soon Its quite likely, given the Key2 is quite similar in design and function to the KeyOne so there must be some efficiencies in porting the platform over.What it does do is highlight that, even after a decade of being on smartphones, Googles OS upgrade path is still too slow - Android 8 was first seen on a smartphone in October 2017 (admittedly Google-created Pixel 2) and eight months on were still waiting for it to appear on many phones.Still, if youre a keyboard phone fan and made the jump to the BlackBerry KeyOne, youll very likely be enjoying the cheeky boost of Android Oreo soon.
