When we talk about updates on Samsung devices, we are used to referring to security updates, those monthly that the company releases to correct vulnerabilities and implement security patches. In this case, the update that has begun to appear on the Samsung Galaxy A5 from 2017 is somewhat different, and it is not a new version of Android either. The update that this device receives are different improvements for its camera. Here are all the new features and how you can upgrade.
Selfie Focus mode activated.
First of all, we must emphasize that the update has focused on the front camera. That is, the camera for selfies. The most interesting novelty is possibly the new 'selfie focus' mode. This mode allows us to create an unfocused effect when we take a selfie. Since it does not have a double camera like the Samsung Galaxy A8, it does not allow us the possibility of adjusting the degree of focus. Still, it's a very cool feature. Another novelty of the update is the color correction for our skin tone. This mode can be accessed through the camera filters. On the other hand, the update also incorporates new features for the front camera, which is that it supports Augmented Reality and adds Stickers and stamps for a better interaction with our device.
On the other hand, the update also incorporates a security patch, although according to SamMobile, the firm does not detail what it is, since right now, different markets are receiving monthly updates for November, while others are already receiving December updates.. In addition, the update also reaches the Samsung Galaxy A7 2017, although this device is not marketed in our country.
How to update the Samsung Galaxy A5 2017
The update has been rolled out globally, so you should already be receiving it. If this is not the case, it will most likely take a few days or weeks for it to appear on your device. If you have the automatic update option, it will download once you are connected to a stable WI-FI network, and it will ask for your permission to install the update. In the event that you have this option disabled, you will have to go to 'Settings' and 'Software Update'.There you should check if you already have the new update ready. Click on the button that will allow you to download and update. On the other hand, remember to always have enough space in the internal storage, as well as a battery of at least fifty percent. Although this is not a big update, it is advisable to back up your data. When restarting, the installation could give some problem.
We will closely monitor this device to see its future updates. Without a doubt, and despite the fact that its renewal has already been presented, the Korean firm continues to keep this device alive, and that is always good. We will see how the level of updates and improvements of the Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 changes .
