Apart from the model numbers, on this page you will find the latest software updates for the entire Galaxy A8 series, from 2015 to the present. You will also find the firmware download link for each model, a preview of the changelogs and much more interesting information.
Marshmallow OS was the best update Samsung got for the A8 2015. That means Samsung also pushed back the Nougat update for the original A8. Therefore, there is no chance that this device will get the Android 8.0 Oreo update.
Samsung promised to update the Galaxy A8 and A8+ 2018 to Android Pie in March 2019, and the company did just that. The rollout started in Russia and slowly expanded to other regions around the world.
