Samsung Galaxy J8 was launched last year
Samsung has reportedly started roll out Android Pie update for Galaxy J8 users. The update is said to be rolling out for users in select markets, but we can expect it to roll out in other regions soon. The Samsung Galaxy J8 update brings along all the new features that come with Android Pie, and also the latest April 2019 Android security patch as well. The Android Pie update is rolling out over-the-air, but users can also manually download the firmware, if they want.
The firmware version for the Samsung Galaxy J8 Android Pie update is J810FPUU3BSD1. The update, Sammobile reports, is rolling out in Russia for now, but more markets will see the update soon. Galaxy J8 users can check for the anticipated update by heading to Settings > Software > Download updates. As mentioned, users who do not wish to wait for the OTA update, can manually download the firmware as well, but this will require them to flash their phones.
