Kaniki, 07 Jan 2021Lie!!!!!!😳yep, but I have managed to find a rom that you can flash to get android 10 one ui 2.0 on the samsung. It works just fine if I use it as a second phone (the rom is basically an s9 rom modified to work with the a8 2018 tho so probably expect some issues occuring)
Just remember that for those you wanna do it, Remember that you are voiding your warranty and none is responsible for any damages

It looks like Samsung deliberately keeps low photo quality for their midranges, I wouldn't go with those anymore. Got S9 to replace A8 last year for $350 and happy with its camera. (While not happy about short battery life and damn glass back.)

Anonymous, 25 Dec 2020Wait does the Pie update make the A8 slower? That's why I ask for Alex's answer why he said ...freezing phone occasionally in the apps. Why?
Mine is still with Oreo.

But, i never using stock camera again since i've got gcam installed on my phone, not superb but better.
i'm thinking an upgrade to A71.

But I don't use it now: main camera is truly bad, compression wipes out all details, photos look more like 3MP, not 12. Even in daylight (in addition to known nighttime failures). (For that reason I can't trust photo quality reviews here.)
Exynos CPU was bugging me too, freezing phone occasionally in the everyday apps (I'm not a gamer).
But for people who don't care about photo quality this is an excellent well-built phone, probably the last good mid range one from Samsung. Later they started cutting corners where they shouldn't, and the quality of mid range phones went down.
(Looking at all the issues reported for S20 FE, Samsung might be screwing now lower premium segment too.)

I have this phone for almost 2 years, contract due for upgrade soon...
Phone is superb for the price and handle big games with no problems, my favorite is cyber hunter. Camera is ok for the price and storage while only 32gb(my model) with micro SD I had no problems. This phone compared to some of new phones in its price range comes on top, not alot phones comes with ip68 nor do they come in glass with gorilla protection.
