When it comes to updates and maintenance, cheap or old smartphones/tablets especially tablets are often neglected. At this time, no one expected that Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime and Samsung Galaxy Tab E 8.0 (both released in 2016) will be in the news. T-Mobile announced that it’s going to update two of its affordable Samsung devices to Android 8 Oreo. The Galaxy J7 Prime and Galaxy Tab E 8.0 will be getting Android Oreo. The former launched with Android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow), upgradable to 7.0 (Nougat) while the latter came with Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop), upgradable to 7.1 (Nougat). With this announcement, the Galaxy J7 Prime and Tab E will join a host of other Samsung devices on T-Mobile which are waiting for the Oreo update. As of now, there is no official date for the release of this update but it will be logical to suggest that it will be coming in a couple of months.
Succinct Description
These devices are quite old thus many of us must have forgotten what they pack.
