However, the new update also requires the latest versions of few pre-installed apps including Samsung Pay, Samsung Notes, Email, and Samsung Internet and will have to be manually updated after the upgrade. It is also recommended to back up the data before upgrading the phone, reported Phone World.

The 2017 model of Galaxy A5 was launched back in January last year with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow and got an Android Nougat update last September. Finally, the phone is set to get the latest Android Oreo update now.
