Samsung releases Android Pie update for the Galaxy J5 (2017)

Samsung has released the Android Pie update to almost all the devices mentioned in the update tracker already. The Galaxy J5 (2017), also known as the Galaxy J5 Pro in some markets, was one of the last remaining devices scheduled to get the update. The Korean company has now released the update to this budget device as well.

At the time of writing, the update is rolling out only in Russia, and it may take anywhere from days to weeks for it to be available in other markets and to other variants. This is the second and possibly the last major update for the budget device from 2017. Though Samsung took a year to release the update, it is still impressive considering the Galaxy J5 is a two-year-old budget offering.

As is the case with all other Galaxy devices, the Android Pie update for the J5 comes with Samsung’s One UI. You can read about all the major features of this release from our One UI Feature Focus series. Along with the version upgrade, the update also brings August 2019 security patch to the device. The security patch includes many Android and Samsung-specific patches as detailed in the company’s security bulletin.

Galaxy J5 (2017) owners can manually check for the OTA update by tapping the Download updates manually option under Software Update in settings. If that doesn’t work and you are impatient to wait, you can consider downloading the latest firmware for your device from our database and manually flash it.
