Samsung Galaxy A7 (2016) Marshmallow update

[babyduck]

Hi, 

I use a Samsung Galaxy A7 (2106)  (model  SM-A710F)  that I've bought in Indonesia few months ago.    Samsung confirmed that this phone will have Marshmallow update.   But as this phone is not available from Rogers,  will I get the OTA  update,  or I should manage to download it by myself through Samsung Smart Switch software ? 

Thank you !

Hello @babyduck

You will need to check Samsung SmartSwitch in order to get the update. OTA is mostly used for carriers.

Hello @babyduck 

As the device is not carried by us, it would not receive a Rogers OS Update.

I have also invited our Resident Expert @Meowmix to chime in.

Hello @babyduck

Yes that is correct. No one said that Samsung doesn't release the updates. We just posted saying that since it's not a Rogers device, we won't know when or how the updates will come.. This is a question best suited to ask Samsung as its unlocked and provided by them.

Got  the  OTA  update  for  Marshmallow 6.0.1 today  .... finally
