            noyel, 27 Oct 2017 um using a510y variant but i don't understand why samsung ignore this model to giving android... moreNougat offers 3 more features anyway. fast charging toggle, flashlight power control and grace UX. Anything else? no. It sucks that you have to wait so long. But I was expecting way more from nougat. At least blue light filter. But no. It's just a new look. A series does lack a lot of features from S series. Less than half the S series.

                          Samsung J5 2016 gets Android Nougat 7.1.1 with latest Samsung experience UI.

                          When will A5 2016 get that? A series is definitely more premium than J. What makes them chose the models that could be upgraded?
