Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Android update
The Galaxy Note 8 was released in September, 2017 running Android 7.1.1 Nougat and is expected to be one of the first Samsung phones to receive Android Oreo. When this will happen we don't know, and we can't draw on the Galaxy Note 7's update timeline for an indication either (it was abandoned before it received its first major update).
The Oreo beta for the Samsung Galaxy S8 should be wrapping up in January, and the full rollout should follow shortly after (at least in South Korea). The equivalent Galaxy Note 8 update shouldn't be too far behind.
