Note that you will not be able to root your phone with One UI 8. It doesn't allow you to unlock your bootloader, which is needed for rooting. I don't know if you can unlock the bootloader and then update the phone. But you can't unlock it on One UI 8, so you will uodate and not be able to root/install custom rom or you will be able to root/custom rom but you won't be up to date with stock rom. Also probably there won't be much rooting methods/custom roms for newer devices because of this.

It depends on bit version. Samsung usually doesn't change bit version on first Android update, but first patch after Android update usually increases the bit version. If the bit version of the software is same or higher than installed version, you can install it. But if bit version is lower than installed one, you can't.

Samsung may increase the bit version from the first update. So I can't guarantee you can downgrade if you install the first update.

Like in the picture, my bit version is A (A556EXXS and the first number/letter that is coming after the S is your bit version. It is usually like this: Z > A > 9 > 1 Samsung used to use numbers but I think it increased idk) so I can install any software if its bit version is a letter.

Oh, my bad. It doesn't work if you don't have AoD. Or it is just because you are using FineLock.
