Unlike the Galaxy A3 (2017) and Galaxy A5 (2017), the Galaxy A7 (2017) Oreo update didn't debut in Russia. Vietnam was the first market to get the A7 (2017) Oreo update, but it looks like Samsung Russia wasn't too far behind and is also rolling out Android 8.0 Oreo for the largest of Samsung's 2017 A series phones. That's not all. The update is also available in Trinidad and Tobago, which suggests the Galaxy A7 (2017) has the highest priority right now, possibly because it's the best-selling model in the 2017 Galaxy A lineup.
