Oreo ChangeLog

Samsung 為 Galaxy S8 推出了 Android 8.0 Oreo 的升級，內裏除了有 Android 8.0 本身的改進，還有不少 Samsung 自家的改動，例如 Samsung Experience 9.0。Samsung 就在官方網站詳列出 Android 8.0 Oreo 升級的完整 Changelog。 Changelog 列出了多項改動，下面介紹一些較為特別的。 生物認證 - 當裝置只使用非安全性的屏幕鎖，生物認證解鎖或 Apps 內認證如 Samsung Pay 就會被暫停。生物認證只會於採用安全鎖屏 (Pattern, Pin, Password) 才會提供。 Samsung Keyboard - 支援 GIF Edge screen - 改進字型大小顏色，提升 Edge Panel 可視度，並加入三個 Edge Lighting Effects Smart View - 當裝置正在其他屏幕進行 Mirror 投放時，裝置屏幕會自動轉暗 Samsung account - 可為多個 Apps 管理 Samsung 帳戶和設定 Samsung Dual Messenger - 可將通訊 App 安裝兩個複本，同時使用兩個帳戶 Find My Mobile - 當遺失手機時，可以遙控將 Secure Folder 備份至 Samsung Cloud Biometrics To improve your security, features that use biometrics (face, fingerprints, and irises) are only available when you use a secure screen lock type (pattern, PIN, or password). When you switch to a non-secure screen lock type (Swipe or None), biometric authentication is suspended for unlocking and for verification in apps like Samsung Pay and Samsung Pass. If you're using biometrics now without a secure screen lock type, you'll be able to continue after the upgrade, but changing to a secure screen lock type is recommended.
