Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) with Nougat on board spotted online
This 5.2-inch handset that launched earlier this year with Android Marshmallow on board has just received its WiFi certification with Android 7.0 on board, so the arrival of this software update is imminent.
Samsung's latest iteration of the Galaxy A5 handset arrived back in January when it launched loaded with Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Although it did not receive Android 7.0 yet, it looks like the new firmware is ready, as the Nougat-loaded Galaxy A5 (2017) has just received its WiFi certification.
First introduced back in 2014, the Galaxy A5 has now reached a generation that comes with IP68-rated protection from the elements, an octa-core Exynos 7880 processor made by Samsung, 3 GB RAM, 32 GB internal storage, microSD support, 16 MP cameras on both sides, a 5.2-inch display with 1,920X1,080 pixels, as well as a 3,000 mAh battery.
The WiFi certification of the Galaxy A5 (2017) with Android 7.0 Nougat on board is dated July 14, so it would not be a surprise to see it launch by the end of next week. We will get back to it as soon as that happens, so stay tuned.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
