Having launched with Lollipop Android 5.1.1 installed, the Galaxy A5 2017 has been updated by Samsung to Marshmallow, and Android 7.0 Nougat OS. Getting two major Android updates is usually all that a device gets, so we would consider it End Of life situation for the A5 2016, and thus do not expect Samsung to release the Android 8.0 Oreo update for it.
Galaxy A7 2015 update timeline
- Not eligible for Android Nougat, Android Oreo or Android Pie
- Software update support has been withdrawn
