Android 7.0 Nougat update for Samsung Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 Edge, Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, Galaxy S6 Edge Plus and Galaxy Note 5 has been confirmed by Samsung.
However, the South Korean tech giant has not yet committed to an exact release date of the update. This leads speculators to believe that Samsung may be behind the Nougat update again.
Samsung was behind compare to other companies in the roll-out of the Marshmallow update even to its flagship devices. The tech giant took months after others did the roll-out of Marshmallow. This time, it looks like that things will not be different.
LG, Sony, Motorola, HTC and OnePlus have all committed to a Nougat roll-out before the year ends.
But with the way things are going on with Samsung, it seems that Android 7.0 Nougat update for Samsung Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 Edge, Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, Galaxy S6 Edge Plus and Galaxy Note 5 will roll out in 2017, at the earliest.
This also means that Nougat update for Samsung J7 and Galaxy Tab S2 will be pushed out, too.
The benchmarked results from GFXBench and Geekbench for Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge only prove that Samsung is indeed already working on the Nougat update.
Benchmarked data only means that the tech giant is already testing the smartphones' power and capabilities under the new Android OS. However, it can still take the company months before the actual rollout of the new Android OS.
Fortunately, there is a way for Samsung users to experience Android 7.0 Nougat update for Samsung Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 Edge, Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, Galaxy S6 Edge Plus and Galaxy Note 5 earlier.
Samsung confirms that a Nougat Beta version is due for release before the actual and official Nougat update. The Nougat Beta version is speculated to arrive before 2016 ends.
In order to enjoy the thrilling new features of Android 7.0 Nougat update for Samsung Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 Edge, Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, Galaxy S6 Edge Plus and Galaxy Note 5, users will have to stay tune for the release of the Beta version first.
