In light of other predictions about our device receiving this official update, take this as you will, I just want others to know this is what T-Mobile has said and it's most likely going to happen, even if it does take a while. This should also give confirmation of Oreo for other variants such as G928F and G928I.
Here is the source so you can see for yourself.

How abt G9287C?
After rumors that this phone will get Android Oreo update in next few months, nothing comes real till now.
Even lineageOs have developed oreo system for other models but not sm-n920a .
What's wrong with this model ?

Locked bootloader and locked down kernel. Not to mention, our carrier has left us for dead hoping we will buy another phone on a Next plan enslaving us for another 24 to 30 months. We will not get anything more than the 7.0 (with the occasional security update) that we already have for the device now.

The kernel and bootloader are locked down, so no. There is no hope for AT&t branded Note 5's. They're not going to give us the kernel, and won't unlock the bootloader. Best bet is to get a different phone that's not AT&t proprietary, and not purchase anything proprietary from AT&t again in protest.
I know that I won't.
According to Sammmobile.com , Samsung has finally released the Galaxy A8 (2018) Oreo update, bringing an end to months of waiting for owners of the company’s latest premium mid-range phones. The Galaxy A8 (2018) and Galaxy A8+ (2018) are currently being updated to Android 8.0 Oreo in Russia. The rollout seems to have started over the weekend, and since it’s already mentioned on Samsung’s official website that details software updates, it should be available for most (if not all) users in Russia at this point.
Samsung’s official changelog suggests it’s an update similar to the one received by devices released before the Galaxy S9. Oddly, Dolby Atmos support isn’t mentioned, despite the devices’ user manual saying it’s included. That could possibly be because the A8 and A8+ only get Dolby Atmos for use over wired and Bluetooth audio, similar to devices like the Galaxy J6 and the Galaxy A6. The update also brings support for VoLTE on both SIM slots, which was recently made available for the Galaxy S9 as well. It’s unclear what security patch is included, but since the May security patch has already been out for these devices, it’s possible Oreo bundles the June patch. The July 2018 security patch is included in the update. The build numbers are A530FXXU2BRG1 and A730FXXU2BRG1.
Our What’s New With Android 8.0 Oreo series of articles is the best way to get details on some of the major new features and changes that Oreo brings to Samsung devices (and this official Samsung infographic is also something you should take a look at). To see if Oreo is available for your Galaxy A8 (2018) or A8+ (2018), open the Settings app on your device, tap Software update, then tap Download updates manually. The update is likely to take a few days to start rolling out in other markets; it could also be a few weeks, depending on how quickly Samsung expands the rollout.
The Russian Firmware is avaliable on Sammobile.com on the link below :
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-a8-plus/SM-A730F/SER/download/A730FXXU2BRG1/224366/
My question is ... will this firmware work on non Russian devices ?
It will.

will one ui ota come to a8 2018?
Hello. I bought this phone since my Galaxy Note 4 SIM slot is destroyed. Is a pretty decent phone and it run good for all the things I use on it. But the only thing I am wondering is, If this phone will have Oreo Update? On some pages like GSMArena is mentioned that is planned an Android 8.0 update, but date is not given. So I wanna know if some others variants besides J250M (the one I have) has the update available.
And my other question is, is there a way to enable themes with/without root? Thanks to everyone who came and give me an answer though.
Same problem
Please help us get themes on this phone.. been trying to get since last year

The only reported information was in the Samsung Members of India, that Android Oreo would be rolled in January 2019 for SM-J250F.
In Samsung Members of Brazil, nothing was said of SM-J250M.
And also nothing is known about SM-J250G and SM-J250N.
It's quite possible that it stays on Android Nougat.

Without root, you can install Samsung Themes, but you can not install Theme Manager.
That is, it will not work.
With root, no tutorial has yet appeared.
Tutorials for the Galaxy J2 2015 and Galaxy J2 2016 (which supported themes but not the theme store) are not valid for it.

It won't in any official state and has had 2 major updates since it's release in February 2017 like the A3 and A5 2017. It, like the other devices, is not eligible as it has gone through it's update cycle as per Samsung update policy.
Never.

As @moozer mentioned it already (but I have to add something) only the international A7 2017 devices (SM-A720F) won't get official pie as it passed the 2 major update schedule. There is still hope at least for the korean variant (SM-A720S). Samsung shipped SM-A720F with Marshmallow to our markets but SM-A720S were shipped with Nougat out-of-the-box in korea, that means SM-A720S only got 1 major update and maybe get a second one with android pie.
You can easly identify or compare it in the firmware releases:
A - android version out-of-the-box
B - 1st major update
C - 2nd major update
for example:
SM-A720F:
A720FXXU2AQG5 - Marshmallow
A720FXXU3BRB8 - Nougat
A720FXXU4CRG2 - Oreo
SM-A720S:
A720SKSU2ARB1 - Nougat
A720SKSU3BRK1 - Oreo
A720SKSU4CXXXX - Pie ??

So if they release pie for the 720s, then how much more work would need to be done for the 720f? If they build pie for one, they might as well build it for the other as they are similar.
Seems I read somewhere about sm-a720? getting pie, but don't quote me on it. It would make sense according to your post.

yes you're right both variants are very similar and it won't take much time for samsung to build pie for A720F too but this doesn't change the fact about A720F's major updates. We all know samsungs marketing: 2 major updates then security patches only.
I remember a scenario which really happened to S5 Neo. Samsung released in 2015 the Galaxy S5 Neo as SM-G903F, SM-G903M and SM-G903W. All were shipped with Lollipop 5.1.1. Also all got a major update to Marshmallow. However, when samsung started to release Nougat only the SM-G903W (Canadian) variant got it while the international varaints never got an official update to Nougat. And I can imagine a similar scenario might happen to A7 2017: SM-A720S will get Pie while SM-A720F won't.
It won't, because Samsung Screwed us all out of an update by releasing the phone on Marshmallow, when Nougat was long since available.
Well Samsung politics is under the moto "buy new phone"
Fook that

Ignore it, it's not by Samsung. Probably some A7 2017 user with Lineage 16 or any other AOSP pie rom did run this geekbench test
