probably, but rotation will not work, nor will some other sensors, and you will probably have to edit the updater script to get it to flash
It would not load. I tried it yesterday. I did not make any edits, I tried "as is". I hope some one will make one.
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?
Hi,
Currently I'm using Samsung Galaxy S9 (SM-G960F) (Build number: R16NW.G960FXXU1ARC5) (CSC: BNG). I didn't get any updates since I purchased the phone. Recently I checked for update from Samsung Smart Switch and it's shows a update is available. So I updated my phone. After installing the update I check the software information of my phone. Then it's shows that the security patch level updates was released on 1 March, 2018. When the December update is already rollout.
Now I want install One UI by flashing my phone. Is there anybody who can help me to do that?
Thanks in advance.
Plenty of people, go read the OneIU and Pie Beta threads

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
Hello.. the new firmware with may patch, is downgradable? because the build number is A520FXXUACSE6, the number for example 8 or 7 or 4 doesn't appear. appear the "A".. so the downgrade maybe work?

I don't think it will be downgradable.
bah. why samsung don't allow the downgrade.. 8.0 work fine on a5 2017.. but the 6.0 is amazing

I think it is probably for security. Just in case there is a serious bug in an older firmware version. It helps prevent exploiting.
