Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge Android Nougat update
Following a soak test in early January, on January 12 Samsung officially rolled out Nougat for unlocked international Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge devices that were enrolled in the beta program. A few days later on January 17, the update became available for all users (at least internationally). It then slowly creeped its way across Europe and India before making it to U.S. carriers in mid-February.
It wasn’t until a few months later in May that Samsung started rolling out Android Nougat to unlocked Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge owners in the US, concluding the rollout to the devices in that region. We’ll be tracking these updates once more when Android O arrives in its final form.
