Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro (2016) gets Android Oreo update months ahead of schedule

Better late than never, they say! While many Android phones are starting to get the Android Pie update (the flagship devices, that is), the Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro (2016) is now upgrading to last year’s Android Oreo 8.0 operating system.However, if you really want to see a silver lining to this software release, the smartphone was launched two years ago, and the Oreo update for the device was actually scheduled for a few month later, but Samsung pushed it out early.[caption id="attachment_5380571" align="alignnone" width="1024"] Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro (2016)[/caption]The update is releasing over-the-air and weighs about 2.09 GB in size.
