    Official Galaxy A7 (2018) Android Pie update rolling out in Russia

    Firmware
    By 

    Last updated: March 14th, 2019 at 19:16 UTC+01:00

    Yet another mid-range Galaxy smartphone is now being updated to Android Pie. Samsung has released the official Pie update for the Galaxy A7 (2018) in Russia, following the release of the update for the Galaxy A8 (2018) and Galaxy A8+ (2018) in the country last week. The Galaxy A7 (2018) also received an Android Pie beta program, but Russia wasn't a part of that program so beta users are going to wait longer.

    Galaxy A7 (2018) is the third mid-range Galaxy to be getting Pie

    The same goes for A7 (2018) owners in other markets. Samsung hasn't released the Galaxy A8/A8+ (2018) and the Galaxy A9 (2018) update in more than one country yet, so we don't expect that to be any different for the Galaxy A7 (2018). The A7 (2018) update is also a bit outdated on the security front, as the official update comes with the February 2019 security patch. As far as features and changes are concerned, you can check out what Android Pie brings to Galaxy devices in addition to Samsung's One UI redesign. The full changelog can be seen here.

    To check if the Android Pie update (software version A750FNPUU1BSC4) is available for your A7 (2018), go into the Software update section in the Settings app and tap Download updates manually. If the update has been released in your country, you should see it start downloading on your phone. We also have the Android Pie firmware in our firmware database for those who'd like to upgrade to the new version of Android without waiting for the OTA (over the air) release.

    Have you received Android Pie on your Galaxy A7 (2018)?

    Grab cleaner screenshots with your Galaxy device

    Samsung made it as easy as pie for Galaxy phone and tablet users to grab screenshots and screen recordings. By default, One UI users can capture screenshots on Galaxy devices by pressing the volume down and power buttons simultaneously, but as you may know, there are also ways to grab screenshots through gestures, a quick […]

    Got a new Galaxy S24 case and screen protector? Don’t forget these One UI settings

    Imagine this: You just bought a new Galaxy S24, and to keep it safe from damage and screen scratches, you wrapped it up in a case and put a screen protector on it. Fantastic! Save for the fact that, now, haptic feedback barely feels like it's there, and the touchscreen isn't very responsive. If this […]

    Galaxy S24 display too bright at night? Try these tricks

    Samsung's new Dynamic AMOLED 2X screens for the Galaxy S24, S24+, and S24 Ultra are fantastic in our experience, providing superior image quality, colors, contrast, and brightness levels in all lighting conditions. On the other hand, some users might feel like the Galaxy S24's screens are a little bit too bright, particularly in dark environments. […]

    Samsung’s Modes and Routines is sorely lacking device ecosystem features

    I've been a fan of Samsung's Modes and Routines tool for years, but the feeling that it could use a few more options never went away. In fact, as my Samsung device ecosystem expanded, that feeling became more prominent. Granted, you can create plenty of fun and useful automations when you pair a Samsung smart […]

    Samsung better not remove Notification Categories in One UI!

    The Notification Categories feature is among the most useful and well-integrated One UI elements. I'd go as far as to say it's probably underrated, but that doesn't really bother me as long as the feature exists and remains a part of One UI. To be frank, the thought that Samsung might be preparing to remove […]
