Phew, finally I can write about something small and neutral... Galaxy A7 (2017) has just released its newest security patch, updating this year's mid-ranger with latest security software and patches. Update is already out in Mexico, where it has firmware version A720FXXU2BQL9. IF you want to make sure that it is available for you too, go to Software update menu and select the Download updates manually option - but do not be surprised if you will have to wait a day or a few.
Samsung also does not slow down its phones like Apple does. Honest
