So if you have a Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 in your hands, it is likely that in the next few hours you will receive a notification that will alert you to the availability of Android 8.0 Oreo, spiced up with the new Samsung Experience 9.0.

How to update your Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 to Android 8.0 Oreo

First of all, we remind you that the update is very heavy, so the download can take approximately 20 minutes. In any case, make sure you are connected to a WiFi wireless network that can provide stability during the download.

It is also important that you have a well-charged phone battery. An unexpected power outage could lead to fatal device errors. Your Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 should be at least 50% full. Or keep it connected to the power supply with the charger.

If you do not have your Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 ready, you will need to postpone the update for another time. You can recover it by accessing the Settings section: it will be the first option that appears, to make it easier for you.

You can also schedule the update for later. An interesting option is to leave it for the early morning. The data pack will download and install between 2:00 and 5:00, so the update (which is long) will never interrupt your daily tasks.

Finally, it is important that you make a backup of the contents and settings that are most important to you. It's a good way to keep them safe before launching an update as heavy as the one at hand this time.

Also, you should know that…

• The update has the code A520FXXU4CRD5 / A520FPHE4CRD4 / A520FXXU4CRD3
• During the installation you will not be able to use the device, not even to make emergency calls
• The icons on the home screen and device settings may return to their factory default values. So you will most likely have to configure them again.
