Android Oreo Update For Galaxy J7 (2016) Delayed Until November, 2019

Sep. 3, 2018

Samsung gets a bad rap for alethargic update scheduleof its Android smartphones and tablets, and not without reason. Most of the flagship devices from the company take their own sweet time to get updates, while mid-rangers and entry-level devices often struggle to get any more than the odd Android version update, and that too, after it’s already deprecated by a new version from Google.

While the time-table may not get any faster just yet, the South Korean consumer electronics giant is now expected to roll out two Android updates to its mush-malignedJ-series devicesin an effort, possibly, to better compete with the likes of Xiaomi, who’s supporting its devices with fairly regular (if frustratingly late) updates evenyears after their launch.
