Samsung has already announced an Android beta program for owners of the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge who want to help test the Nougat update before it is released. The good news is that the Samsung Galaxy S7 / S7 Edge will not be the only smartphones to receive the highly anticipated Android 7.0 update from Nougat in the coming months.
Another confirmation that the update is in the works
Although previous rumors have claimed that the South Korean company has already started working on Nougat for the Galaxy S6 / S6Edge, Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy Tab S2, there was no confirmation from Samsung that the information is Accurate. But now we have another piece of the puzzle that makes us believe Android update 7.0 Nougat for the edge Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge is really in the works of Samsung. Some Galaxy S6 (SM-G920x) has been classified to the GFXBench and the specification sheet mentions Android 7.0 Nougat. However, given the specification sheets that lists all Android versions starting with Android 5.0.2 and up to Android 7.0 Nougat, it is difficult to determine whether or not the phone ran the latter when it was calibrated.
The update is unlikely to arrive until early 2017
Another piece of information that could shed light on the issue is another list at Geekbench. This time the list of specifications of the Samsung Galaxy S6 mentions that the smartphone is running Android 7.0 Nougat, so there is no doubt about the update being tested internally. Some beta versions could be pushed to select users of the Galaxy S6 before Nougat is launched, but we can not be sure at the moment. Even though Samsung is hard at work to provide as many devices as possible with Android 7.0 Nougat, which will not happen so fast. We do not expect the Android 7.0 Nougat to arrive on the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge until next year, more likely during the first quarter of 2017. But if you own the Galaxy S7 / S 7 Edge You can expect the update to arrive earlier, perhaps by the end of 2016.
