Смартфоны серии Samsung Galaxy J5 (2017) тоже получат обновление до Android Oreo






Вслед за объявленными ранее мобильными гаджетами, Samsung расширил список устройств, которые обновятся до операционной системы Android Oreo (8.0 или даже 8.1). Информация об обновлении появилась в распоряжении нескольких профилных ресурсов, которые сообщают, что южнокорейский вендор обновит до Oreo 13 моделей Galaxy J5 (2017): SM-J530GM, SM-J530GM/DS, SM-J530F/DS, SM-J530Y/DS, SM-J530G, SM-J530S, SM-J530L, SM-J530F, SM-J530FM/DS, SM-J530K, SM-J530YM/DS и SM-J530Y.
Сроки, когда указанные модификации получат новый Android, пока неизвестны. Но если учесть график обновления похожих моделей, это может произойти к концу этого года.

Galaxy J5 (2017) Oreo update may be based on Android 8.0

Another budget Galaxy phone has been certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance with Android 8.0 Oreo onboard. This time it’s the Galaxy J5 (2017), following its little brother, the Galaxy J3 (2017), which was certified a week ago. And yes, it seems the Galaxy J5 (2017) Oreo update will not be based on Android 8.1. Android 8.1 was suggested by a benchmark listing earlier on, but the final update may be based on Android 8.0.
Wi-Fi certifications are ultimately more concrete evidence for such things. Benchmark listings can be manipulated but the same isn’t possible for the Wi-Fi Alliance, which has to give its blessings to each device for each major OS upgrade. This may mean that the J7 (2017) will also be updated to Android 8.0 and not 8.1. And we would prefer that over Samsung playing favorites like it did last year by upgrading the Galaxy J5 (2016) to Android 7.1 Nougat and the J7 (2016) to Android 7.0.
This does not mean users of these devices will be missing out on anything, as every existing Samsung phone that has received the Oreo update already is running Android 8.0 as well. Android 8.1 will be making its debut with the Galaxy Note 9 and the Galaxy Tab S4, along with various other tablets and phones that will be released in the coming months.
