Among all the confusion regarding Samsung's confusing Android Oreo 8.0 rollout for the Galaxy S8 and S8+, we have good news for owners of the Galaxy A5 (2017); the mid-ranger is getting the February patch in Russia as you read this. Which means that it's only a matter of time before every other region where the Galaxy A5 (2017) was released by Samsung is soon going to be receiving the same patch via OTA.
This makes the Galaxy A5 (2017) among the first devices in Samsung's arsenal to receive the February patch and that is not surprising, given the fact that the Galaxy A-series of smartphones have indeed been the first smartphones to get the monthly security updates from the manufacturer for the last few months. I guess they ae taking the name "A" pretty seriously!
The update comes in as firmware version A520FXXU4BRB1 and alongside patching Meltdown and Spectre, it brings 15 fixes for Samsung's own overlying software and multiple patches for the underlying Android Nougat OS.

Although a lot of users (including yours truly) has already received, downloaded and updated their devices via OTA, Samsung has officially stopped rolling out the Android Oreo 8.0 updates for the Galaxy S8 and S8+. If you are wondering why they have done so, we actually have an explanation from the OEM, thanks to a direct query by SamMobile. Apparently, some devices were experiencing an automatic and sudden reboot issue, post the update. You will find the official statement below.
"Following a limited number of cases where Galaxy S8 and S8+ devices have rebooted unexpectedly with the Android 8.0 Oreo, we have temporarily stopped the rollout of the update. We are investigating the issue internally to ensure that the impact to the affected devices is minimized and the rollout of the update can resume as quickly as possible."
In spite of Samsung calling the number "limited," it was clearly big enough for the company to completely halt the updates for now, so do keep an eye on your device if you are already running Oreo on your S8 or S8+. Even if it does begin to show issues, we would not be too worried as Samsung will definitely be releasing a patch very soon to fix the issue on their flagship. In any case, it is a bit disappointing for us and embarrassing for the OEM to mess up an update that they had a long time and a number of beta testing months to perfect.
