    I found that it camera is a down side in A5, especially in low light photos ( again comparing it to similarly priced phone).

      WTF!!!!! J5 2017 J7 2017 and J3 2017 get Android Pie 9.0 and A5 2017 remains stuck at 8.0.0 Oreo. This can not happen

I understand what you wrote in the last comment. Below is a link you can scroll and read yourself if you are curious. Just what I did yesterday. Cheers

                      Hey again jimi.

                      Android pie for samsung will come with new samsung expirience ui called "One ui".

                      That ui is pretty much based on "big screen" phones (5.6' and above) because it will help in one handed ussage.

                      You can chek that out on youtube.

                      If that update hit A5, A7 and so on, it must come with one ui and with that UI, you can't be productive because of 5.2'. It's not a small screen by any mean, but, for that particular update, just it isnt made.

                      This phone hardware can def. Handle 9.0 (A5 '17 for exp. Have better cpu, gpu (and so on) than the A6, A6+ and toe to toe with A7.

                      (All phones above will get the update)

                      So you understand what i'm talking about.
                      It can support it, but it doesn't have sense and need to do so.

                      If you have any more questions, feel free to ask them!

                          Thanks for the reply. Sure thing if it will work like now, I don't even think about a phone replacement. I just became curious why the A5 (2017) can't update to 9.0 Pie and thought that maybe the specifications of this phone are not good enough.

                          Cheers!

                            Hi Jim.
                            Well, it isn't neither advantage nor disadvantage.

                            New android version is sign of newer phone, despite lack of Android pie (for now and maybe in future) this phone will get security patch updates, so no, you don't have to switch phone, because all apps and everything will work same on android 8 and 9.

                            Cheers!

                              I am using with good results from few months the A5 (2017) now running on Oreo 8.0.0. and with the security update of the 1-st of December 2018. I have been reading comments today and came across few ones writing about the new 9.0 Pie that will released soon on different Samsung phones and so doing few searches I discovered that the A5 (2017) is not included on the list for the 9.0 Pie. Is this a disadvantage and do we that own this phone should think to change it in the near future?
