Galaxy A (2017) series gets new update in India

Firmware
By 

Last updated: April 14th, 2017 at 09:43 UTC+02:00

Samsung has started rolling out a new update for the Galaxy A5 (2017) and the Galaxy A7 (2017) in India. There isn't much cause for celebration, though, as this isn't an upgrade to Nougat. The 101MB update is minor in the sense that it doesn't bring much in the way of big new features and obviously doesn't bring Nougat for the Galaxy A (2017) series.

What the changelog does tell us is that this update includes device stability improvements and bug fixes aside from further improvements to performance. Firmware version A520FXXU1AQC7 and A720FXXU1AQC5 is now rolling out for the Galaxy A5 (2017) and Galaxy A7 (2017) respectively. It does come with the March security patch.

Samsung's Galaxy A series for 2017 is great for those who are looking for a robust smartphone at a reasonable price. If you've not yet made up your mind on the handset you want to buy, check out our reviews of the Galaxy A3 (2017), the Galaxy A5 (2017) and the Galaxy A7 (2017) to make the decision a bit easier for you.
