Based on the reports, it is clear that Samsung is already working extensively on the Android 7.0 Nougat update. This report is based on the benchmarked results from GFXBench and Geekbench for Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge.

If this updating trend will be continued then you should expect Nougat to arrive later this year the earliest. From the Samsung, the Galaxy Note 7 was supposed to be the first one to receive the Android 7.0 OS update.

But since the company has permanently stopped selling and manufacturing this model due to the faulty battery and the blast issues, so the device has been taken out of the picture for updating the OS, reports NeuroGadget.

Some rumours also say that the Galaxy S7 got a spot on the official GFXBench database running the Nougat 7.0 software that has given is a big hint that Samsung is already running 7.0 OS tests on Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. Users can also expect the Android Nougat update release for these phones together with the latest Grace UX version.

The South Korean tech giant is finally about to roll out the latest OS update for Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge by this year.
