The update to Android 8 Oreo for the Samsung Galaxy J3 2017 has already begun to arrive for some users. Although at first Samsung did not plan to update this model until well into September, it seems that the rollout of this version has already started in certain markets.
For now, users who have Samsung Galaxy J3 2017 in countries such as the United Arab Emirates or Russia have already received the data package. But it is expected that, as the update progresses successfully, it can also be made available to the same model in other countries, such as Spain.
If nothing happens and no bugs are detected, it is most likely that the update to Android 8 for the Samsung Galaxy J3 2017 will begin to arrive for European users in a few days or weeks. But, what news does this update bring?
Samsung Galaxy J3 2017, details of the update to Android 8
The updates that are reaching the first users carry this flagship code: 330FXXU3BGH1 (in Russia) and J330FXWU3BRG3 (in UAE). It is very likely that the codes for the different European regions are quite similar. In any case, you should be alert to the changelong, in which you will be told if the planned update is the one that will allow you to make the move from Android 7 Nougat to Android 8 Oreo.
About the update, what we know is that it consists of all the news that is promised for Android 8 Oreo. This includes, for example, picture-in-picture mode, which allows users to enjoy one application in the background, while using another. This comes in handy when using maps or playing YouTube videos.
But there is more. They improve the autocomplete functions and the notification section. In addition, the security package includes a security patch that may be obsolete by now. More considering that at this time Samsung already has the August security update underway.
How to prepare the update to Android 8 for the Samsung Galaxy J3 2017
The update to Android 8 Oreo for the Samsung Galaxy J3 will arrive via FOTA (Firmware Over The Air) or over the air. This means that to be able to access it, it will be necessary to have the device well prepared.
Thus, the most advisable thing is to have the terminal battery charged (at least up to 50% of its capacity, so that blackouts do not occur), be connected to a WiFi wireless network (which provides stability during the download) and have made a Backup of all important content and settings (any update process is delicate, so be forewarned).
When the update is available, you will receive a notification on your phone. But if you want to check for yourself, all you have to do is access the Settings section > Software update> Manual download.
About the remaining Android 8 Oreo updates
But the Samsung Galaxy J3 2017 is not the only device that waits like water in May for the update to Android 8 Oreo. There will be other devices, such as the Samsung Galaxy J5 2017 and Samsung Galaxy J7 2017 that should also go shortly to Android 8 Oreo.
However, despite being devices a little more advanced than the J3 2017, they will not receive this version until next December. The procedure will be the same, so until then, it will be time to wait.
