Galaxy A7 (2017) is Now Receiving Android 7.0 Nougat

A lot of people expected the Galaxy A 2017 series to come with Android N preloaded but that didn't happen, as Samsung wasn't ready with the firmware in time. However, it did mean that Samsung would be updating the OS from Marshmallow 6.0.1 to Nougat 7.0 very soon. The good news is that it is finally happening as the OEM has just started to roll out the Android OS upgrade package to the Galaxy A7 (2017). Although it can hardly be called a "fast" update at this point, let's just be glad that it's finally here.

As of now, reports from Thailand indicate that Samsung has probably released the update first in that region. Nevertheless, other countries should also begin to see the OTA upgrade package arrive in the coming weeks. Firmware version of the package is A720FXXU2BQGB and it comes in quite a hefty size of 1394.40MB. If you see the update for your Galaxy A7 (2017) and you do not live in Thailand, do let us know in the comments. Thanks!
