i think that official update will be available JUST for the 2017 model, not for the 2016.
i recommend to change your phone model because the development in this particular model is so hard because the chipset (Mediatek).
i looking for other models because of it
Thats is a load of good thanks LG

But surely the 2016 models should handle nougat perfectly because its dual core 1.30Ghz and it has 1.5Gb of ram

sure, i have no doubt of it, but there is something called MARKETING. to LG it's not convenient roll out the nougat update for the 2016 model. They prefer sell us a new phone, with ALMOST the same features/specifications but with a new software and more expensive.
Thats what you call lg being lazy

LG really is lazy and cant be bothered to release nougat for all K8 users but in about a years time someone is going to release lineage OS for the phone if all developers is reading this please release lineage OS for this phone please!

Don't think any mediatek device from lg will be updated to nougat, maybe only the one that will be released with this version

Okay thanks for that
Now nougat is coming on the phone
I have just read up on the gsmarena it comes with 6.0 marshmallow and it is upgradable to 7.0 nougat so it has arrived finally
For Verizon variant, yes. That variant came with 6.0.1 initially, ours is 6.0. I don't believe global or any other variant will receive Nougat. Let's hope I'm wrong Well, maybe someone can port Verizon variant, but I'm not sure if basebands will work.

Verzion and AT & T (LG Phoenix 2) got nougat, they get it because of verzion and at&t, also I think they have Qualcomm chipsets..
Edit: yes, I'm right those are Qualcomm variants of k8, bull****...

Then porting is also next to impossible, different chipsets even though this device lacks space, it's a great device, too bad there are no custom roms for it...
Was really hoping for Nougat on the 2016 version, it's really not fair to abandon OS of a phone that's been out for a year.

I got update on my K8 like month ago but it wasn't anything major, it was some bugs fix and/or performance enhancement. So my guess is that they still care about the device? I'm not honestly sure. Will see.

For those of you that have not seen this announcement yet (it's been out for a few months now) T-Mobile has confirmed they will work with Samsung in order to release an official release of Oreo for our device.

T-Mobile and the device manufacturer have agreed to support a new software update.

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?
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.
Any One Try this Rom??

unfortunatly i have problem with my battery on android 7 from 2months ago because of *job.delay* high count in (BBS) . so im counting days to release oero for my device .
Oreo here is very snapy. Fast , no bugs at all , no battery issues .

You can also try Samsung Smart Switch Desktop Client + Samsung Smart Switch App if you haven't recieved your update and you're desparate to update to Oreo
will one ui ota come to a8 2018?
Just saw this on SamMobile. Anyone else heard anything about 8.1
Nothing on my end.
That's for the Galaxy Note 9 (N960), which runs on 8.1 instead of 8.0 like the S9 (G960). Officially the S9 will likely not be updated to 8.1, but will get a 9.0 update whenever Samsung releases that.
My bad... Can't believe I typed that in wrong. Had the note 8 before the S9. Thanks for the response
Samsung doesn't really apply the full security patch all in one go. They usually apply the security updates in 8.1 to 8.0. So basically it will be the same as 8.1, whenever Samsung actually get around to releasing any sort of update
My phone updated to the latest version as of today with security patch level installed on October 1 , 2019. I had tried many available root methods in this forum, YouTube videos, articles, etc....none worked because of Oreo version running in S7 Active.
Any help would be appreciated.

unless your running G891AUCU3CRE7 (whitch was a long time ago) then no it's not possible.
s7 active eng root sucked anyway- it REALLY slowed the phone down sadly.
