As we can see in the blog specialized in news Samsung Sammobile, the terminals of Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016), Galaxy Tab A 8.0 and Galaxy Tab 9.7 will update very soon to the Android 7 Nougat version of the Google operating system. So we can see it in a WiFi Alliance certificate in which we see how these three terminals contain inside the penultimate of the Android versions that have been released on the market. With Android 8 Oreo fresh out of the oven, there is still a long way to go for its previous version to capture the maximum market share.
Very soon Android 7 Nougat on your Samsung terminal
We still do not have a definitive date for this update, but the preceding point before said improvement is usually its certification in the WiFi Alliance as we see in the screenshot. If we are the owners of some of the previous terminals, we can only wait for the massive deployment of the OTAs. OTAs are files that the user receives, on his phone, 'Over the air', that is, connected to WiFi or data. Although it can be updated in both ways, it is preferable to download the update under WiFi connection. Any version change guarantees a significantly heavy data package.
You can also see, manually, if you already have a patch, update or improvement available on your Samsung device. You just have to enter the phone settings, About the device and, later, Software Update. Keep in mind that your phone must have enough space to host the update file, have previously made a backup copy, have enough battery so that the terminal does not turn off during the process, and subsequently perform a formatting so that the installation is completely clean.
With Android 7 Nougat you can enjoy new features such as multiscreen, improved shortcuts on desktop icons and improved notifications. It only remains to wait for your team to update to enjoy these improvements.
