The Galaxy S7 Android Nougat update and Galaxy Note 5 Nougat update are sure to happen. The only question is when exactly?
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.
The benchmarked results from GFXBench and Geekbench for Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge only prove that Samsung is already working on the Nougat update. But, it can still take months before the actual rollout of the new Android OS.
Additionally, there is still no confirmed exact release date for Galaxy S7 Android Nougat update and Galaxy Note 5 Nougat update from Samsung. But considering that these devices are the flagship devices of Samsung now, they are sure to be the first ones to get the Nougat update.
Nonetheless, speculators are doubting if Samsung will and can really roll out Galaxy S7 Android Nougat update and Galaxy Note 5 Nougat update before the year ends. As all Samsung users can remember, it took the company a long time to release the Marshmallow update.
While LG, Sony, Motorola, HTC and OnePlus have all committed to Android 7.0 Nougat update before the year ends, Samsung may be lagging behind again.
The earliest possible release schedule for Galaxy S7 Android Nougat update and Galaxy Note 5 Nougat update for the South Korean tech giant will likely be in 2017. Other devices that are also included in the first batch of Android 7.0 Nougat update are Galaxy S7 Edge, Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, and Galaxy S6 Edge Plus.
Nougat update for Samsung J7 and Galaxy Tab S2 will likely to come out months after the first batch of Samsung Nougat update.
Fortunately, there is a way for Samsung users to experience Galaxy S7 Android Nougat update and Galaxy Note 5 Nougat update earlier. This is through a confirmed Nougat Beta version, which is due for release before the official Nougat update. The Android 7.0 Nougat Beta version is sure to be available before 2016 ends.
