Unfortunately it would mean an end of life for the S8/S8+ in /e/OS as well.
The reason more than LOS stopping support would be the stopping of security patches as the OS is S or Android 12. Vendor also stop putting out updates for devices that are old. While we can try to make builds for such devices the chances are high that the applications will also not work as expected.
For now we have not finalized on this decision. The discussion are still in progress as this model has a large base with our users. Will share any updates on this discussion.
For devices still on S, where technically possible, we will work on upgrading the OS to T or U.
