If you took part in the beta program in other countries, such as France and Spain, the newer version of Oreo should also be available for your S8 or S8+ in the next few hours. The key change in the update is a fix for the reboot issues that some users had been facing after updating to Oreo with the initial release. If your S8 or S8+ had been running fine on the first build, you're unlikely to notice any differences with the new update. Sadly, there's still no word on when Android 8.0 Oreo will arrive for those who couldn't take part in the beta test, though one can hope it won't take too long now that Samsung has a fully stable build of Oreo.
To grab the update, head into the Settings » Software update menu and tap Download updates manually. Don't worry if you don't immediately see the update; try a few more times and it should start downloading.
