December Security Update for the Galaxy A7 (2017) Released

It looks like Samsung is putting in an extra bit of effort to get the December security patch rolled out to all major handsets in its arsenal before the year ends. After a number of both flagship, low-range and mid-range handsets, it is time for the Galaxy A7 (2017) to receive the latest patch from Google and Samsung. Aside from fixing eleven issues in the Android OS, the OTA update should also take care of ten bugs in Samsung's own overlying UI.

As per the latest reports, the update has the firmware version A720FXXU2BQL9, so that's what you should be seeing too. At the time of this report, Samsung had begun rolling it out in Mexico, but all other regions in which the Galaxy A7 (2017) was released should be getting the update any time now.
