Samsung Galaxy S7, S7 Edge Android Nougat Update: What you need to know

NEW DELHI: Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge users will get their hands on the latest version of Android Nougat soon as the South Korean smartphone maker is preparing to introduce Android Nougat update to its flagship devices S7 and S7 edge within the next few weeks. Samsung, which recently released fifth beta update for Android Nougat on the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge, is now focusing on this huge update. Nougat Beta is available to those who had registered for Samsung's beta program. According to reports, Samsung will be updating its premium flagship phones directly to Android 7.1 Nougat instead of the 7.0. Google has already began pushing out its Android 7.1.1 update for Nexus devices. Android Nougat 7.1.1 brings a number of major improvements and upgrades, marking it Google's most advanced software release to date. 2016 has been an eventful year for smartphone manufacturers with Samsung ruling the hearts and minds of android users with the launch of S7 series in March, while Apple as always offered something different to its ‘lovers’ in the form of iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 plus. However, Samsung has fallen prey to the Note 7 fiasco in Q4 which dented its image. With Galaxy S7 and S7 edge being the best camera phones of this year, Samsung not only offered what was expected from it after the innovative S6 series but it went beyond expectations to rule the hearts of Android users. Though, Apple did chip in September with iPhone 7 and 7 plus but its latest flagships would’ve received a stiff competition had Note 7 survived.
