Since this is based on a phone from 2016, it's pretty amazing to see it get such an update.

      will j7 prime also get the update

        CS, 10 May 2019WTF are you smoking? On7 prime was released in Jan 2018. I am smoking plain old air.

        Read the second line of the article.

        "The On7 Prime was launched in the subcontinent back in January of 2018, but it's actually known elsewhere as the Galaxy J7 Prime, and was first released in September 2016."

          THE-TRUTH-REVEALER, 10 May 2019Wow amazing if this has been done intentionally. But I know... moreWTF are you smoking? On7 prime was released in Jan 2018.

            Wow amazing if this has been done intentionally. But I know folks with S7 and Edge who don’t have Pie yet...so it makes me doubt the intentions behind this.

            Anyway I am happy for the On7 Prime users. Their device has been given a new lease of life, especially those who purchased it in 2016 and are still using it.

                This is why I respect Samsung, Huawei only really cares about their flagships.

                  DaDo77, 09 May 2019wooooow Samsung is the best!!!!!Man its just one phone and its just accident because this phone is from 2018 the original J7 have different code name but it worked somehow.
                  S7 and S7 edge users dont have PIE. Same goes for S6 and S6 edge users.

                    unknownymous, 09 May 2019so they can upgrade the On7 Prime with Pie, but not the S7/... moreThen you have to swap for J7. You get better android device :-)

                        so since this is also Exynos 7870, same as J7 2017, there should be an android 9 pie for A-line 2017 phones, which i got A3 2017 almost same specs as the mentioned phone, maybe we'd get the 9.0 too, hopefully

                            Furiounx, 09 May 2019Are you serious. -_- I literally just ordered an LG G6 and ... moreG6 will be much better anyways, but great to see at least one phone being supported that far.

                                  And yet my daily driver perfectly mint condition S7 edge still not getting pie; no dark mode, no One Ui.
                                  Super great camera but lack nightscape/ nightmode feature,
                                  Sigh.

                                    So all exynos 7870 phones are compatible with android pie now Samsung should update all of them which is quite a lot of phones using this processor in Samsung phones even from 2016

                                    If the s7 doesn't revise the update than this is poor even though it is much more powerful and compatible that's what happened to the s6 the a8 2016 got oreo same chip and s6 never

                                      Probably outsourced the upgrade job to a local team in Bangalore meaning it'll be badly written, sub-optimal and riddled with more bugs than the insect house at London Zoo.
