Android 7.0 is coming to the Galaxy A3 2016. The device landed on the market with Android 5.1 Lollipop, although later it was able to update to Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Nougat will provide this team with numerous advantages and functionalities. For now, users will notice better performance and more fluidity when using applications and performing processes. In any case, a series of steps must be followed before updating, as we will explain below.
Steps to follow before updating
It is recommended that before you update your Samsung Galaxy A3 2016 to Android 7 you take into account a series of options that will be very useful to avoid problems either before or during the update process.
- Backs up all data on your device. Before updating to the new version of Android, make sure that you make a backup of all the files and data that you have stored in the terminal. This way, if something happens during the update process, you won't lose anything. You can save it to an external hard drive or to a cloud storage service like Google Drive or Dropbox.
- Have the equipment loaded. As you sure do not want there to be any errors at the time of the update, do not forget to update with the device loaded more than 50 percent. Avoid installing Nougat with less than that percentage.
- Update with a stable WiFi connection. Avoid by all means updating with your data connection or with an unknown WiFi connection. The best thing is that you wait until you get home to do it. We also recommend that you do not do it if you are going on a trip that day. Some problem could occur and your device could be affected.
Advantages of Android 7
The new version of Android includes many improvements if we compare it with its predecessors. This means that the Samsung Galaxy A3 2016 will be able to enjoy many functions and benefits. One of them is the multi-window mode, which will allow us to use two applications from the same screen. In Nougat, Doze has also fared better, the battery-saving function that was launched in Android 6 and is now much smarter. Android 7 also has a new notification system and changes to the Material Design interface, which is increasingly simple and minimalist.
As we say, the Android 7 update for the Samsung Galaxy A3 2016 has started in Germany. It is expected that in a few days it will do the same in the rest of the territories where the terminal is sold. Be very attentive to your device because you could receive a message to carry out the new update via OTA.
