Samsung unveiled the Galaxy A7 2017 at CES earlier this year. While it seemed like a decent upgrade over its predecessor, the fact that it was still on Android 6.0 Marshmallow was quite a disappointment for many.

However, by the way things are turning out to be, the Galaxy A7 2017 might just get to taste the sweetness of Nougat very soon as it’s (SM-A720x) been spotted on GFXBench running Android 7.0 Nougat.

Samsung hasn’t revealed anything regarding the update for the Galaxy A7 as such, but it was earlier rumored to roll out the update for the device in second quarter.

On the photography front, the smartphone has a 16MP sensor both at the front and the back.
