It was recently announced that the Razer Phone was going to receive the Android 8.1 Oreo upgrade. In fact, the phone was going to skip Android 8.0 and go straight to the latest version of the operating system. The update started two weeks ago, but there appear to have been several problems. For this reason, it has been stopped until they are resolved.
Android 8.1 Oreo update for the failed Razer Phone stopped
It has been announced in the UK. So all users with the phone will have to wait a little longer for this update. Because so far no dates have been discussed to re-release it.
Problems with updating the Razer Phone
Upgrade bugs have been reported, which seem to affect the device’s SIM. Since many users who had updated have complained that this problem started to arise after they had upgraded to Android 8.1 Oreo. So it looks like they will first have to fix the bug and investigate the source of the bug.
For the time being, the update has been stopped and it is not known when it will be re-launched. Surely Razer is already working on a solution. Although the company has not commented on the matter so far. So we hope to know more about it soon.
Without a doubt, it is a significant inconvenience for users with the Razer Phone. But better to wait until the update is ready and working perfectly. Since there seem to be quite a few users affected by this.
