Are there different J7 (2016) versions in India?
Some time back I received a ~238 MB update.
A few weeks back, a 78 MB update. Jio/VoLTE stopped working, but was fixed on new network search!
Was NEVER offered any 55 MB update that people have been talking about!
Now today a new 73 MB update is offered, but am worried about any Jio/VoLTE implications!
Anyone else ?

Chris22, 26 Jul 2018Somewhere is a mistake! It is not possible for the J5 2017 ... moreThere's no mistake. Oreo update is not for J5 2017, but it's for on5 2016 which is a variant of J5 Prime, with 32gb storage & 3gb RAM. Of course, it is late, that's why they mentioned the word POSTPONE.

I think this is a mistake, it can not be! well last year J7 2016 received the update to 7.0 Nougat in Europe at the beginning of October and J5 2016 at the end of November early December and jumped directly to 7.1.1. maybe J7 2016 to receive it by the end of December! J7 2017 must now receive it by October

This concludes, J7 2016 will never be updated to Oreo.

Anonymous, 26 Jul 2018You guys are too funny thinking we will get oreo I have already bought the A5 2017 and I have Oreo on it from the factory but I still have the J7 2016 that looks impeccably with the original flip samsung pouch. I think it deserves J7 2016 Oreo

If it does not get its update to Android 8.0 until December 31, 2018, I do not think it gets it anymore! In January, I do not think Samsung is up to date with Oreo updates, then I have to prepare for Android 9.0 update for the S9 and S8 models. The end date is that it is until the end of 2018. If this date is exceeded, I do not think it gets anymore!

SD652, 25 Jul 2018Was that a joke?Of course, that was a joke.
"Mo" is so over-confident about October update of Android Oreo 8, he should be knowing about the update of Android Pistachio 9.
Hahaha
By the way, I am very satisfied with performance and stability of J7 2016 with Android Marshmallow. I know updates provide features & security, but sacrifices performance and stability. If I wanna update, why stay with Nougat 7.0 not even 7.1.2. I would directly jump to Pistachio 9. Hahaha.

J7 06 is actually going to get Oreo update, somewhere down the line. That's true. Couple of days ago I stumbled upon this video on YouTube (video is in Hindi) https://youtu.be/JhHs3VATxP8 I'm still not sure how authentic it is, but I definitely agree that J7 2016 is gonna get Oreo somewhere along the line

Anonymous, 23 Jul 2018Stop spreading fake news. They're not gonna release Oreo fo... moreIs not fake news! Is possible to get the update to 8.0 because it is not normal for the J5 2016 to run 7.1.1 a higher version and J7 2016 with a much better processor to stay with just 7.0! J7 2016 in Romania does not have VoLte does not have a Wi-Fi call and the J5 2016 has received it with the upgrade to 7.1.1. That's why I say it's not normal for a weaker model with a much weaker processor to stay with better software.
