Developer ports Android 11 with One UI 3.1 to the Samsung Galaxy A7, A8, and A8+ 2018
An unofficial port of One UI 3.1 based on Android 11 is now available for the Samsung Galaxy A7, Galaxy A8, and the Galaxy A8+ 2018.
Samsung has been quite generous with rolling out its One UI 3.1 update based on Android 11. Aside from last year’s flagships such as the Samsung Galaxy S20 and the Galaxy Note 20 getting the update, older mid-rangers such as the Galaxy A50/A50s, Galaxy A70, and even some Galaxy M series devices have already received the latest software release. Several other Samsung Galaxy smartphones will be receiving a taste of Android 11 later this year, but the Exynos 7885-powered Galaxy A7, Galaxy A8, and the Galaxy A8 Plus will be left out. So if you own either of the three devices from 2018 and want to experience Android 11 with Samsung’s latest One UI skin, your wish has been granted – albeit unofficially.

Samsung has launched the Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) in India. It has triple rear cameras and is powered by the Exynos 7885 SoC. Pricing starts at ₹23,990.
In 2018, smartphones are launching at an increasingly quick rate. The mid-range segment was a bit barren for a few years, but this year, companies like Xiaomi, Samsung, OPPO, Vivo, Nokia, and others are filling the gap. With respect to the Galaxy A series, Samsung has already launched the Galaxy A6, Galaxy A6+, Galaxy A8, Galaxy A8+, and the Galaxy A8 Star this year. The Galaxy A series is typically not competitive against affordable flagships from the likes of Xiaomi, Asus, and OnePlus, and the aforementioned phones haven't done anything to change this fact. Samsung, however, isn't giving up. The Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) has now been launched in India, and its defining feature is the presence of triple rear cameras.
