Tourettes Guy, 19 Jan 2017Ever heard of Sony? They made the best version of Nougat OS... moreNot only Nougat OS... Since Jelly Bean 4.1 they have create the best OS I have feel...
I have Xperia E w/ 0 MB RAM left... some process was stop working but there's no lag when I try to swipe anything

    i thought it was something useful, not just something we already know. i see gsma is becoming a clickbait site too. just like the other fake sites.

      The_Ulf, 19 Jan 2017Sure, because all hitherto existing nougat devices are bugg... moreYou do realise that if your phone is locked to a network then usually that network has to update their firmware before they'll send it to you? Usually the networks make massive delays to OTA releases. In the UK EE are the absolute worst for this. Samsung also have to adjust Touchwiz, drivers, etc to be compatible with a new OS. It isn't as simple as "Here's a new Android! Everyone install!" They're not magic, they're technology that can only be advanced at the speed the people advancing them are capable of. New OS > OEM Firmware > Network Firmware

      Check https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ first to check it isn't your network before you go slating Samsung. Also, wise up before moaning.

          Tourettes Guy, 19 Jan 2017Ever heard of Sony? They made the best version of Nougat OS... moreSonys version of android is not best.Motorolas UI is the best.
          And Googles android is not the best version of android,it is just fastest
          Noughat is a minor update for samsung,atleast end user is concerned
          Samsung has almost all the features of android 7.0 way before it was cool
          Multitasking-since S3(even better apps can be opened as floating windows)
          Vulkan support-since s6
          Daydream VR-since s6(Gear VR)
          and so on(only thing that we will benefit from is new notification shade)

            My Galaxy S5 and S6 is on december security update.Samsung might be painfully slow at rolling out Software updates but they deliver monthly security update every month before the end of second week that same month
            Sorry to burst your bubble.
            Either you are lying or you bought a fake Galaxy S7.

                AnonD-632062, 19 Jan 2017No surprises in this update list. I had the slightest hope ... moreS5 can't be updated because of its unsupported hardware ( gpu more exactly ).But the note 4 has no excuse to be excluded.

                  No surprises in this update list. I had the slightest hope that maybe they would include Note4/S5 in this Nougat list because of the absence of Note7.....

                    Anonymous, 19 Jan 2017Which android No.1 in update? Not many. I heard all the ear... moreEver heard of Sony? They made the best version of Nougat OS, even better than Google's own stock version, which is a big shame that their biggest competitor in the smartphone game did it miles better than themselves, plus stock android should be an advantage of the Pixel and Nexus series, but they doesn't seem to be

                            Still there no news about Note 4 as it had all the eligible specs.............. We expect the samsung should give update to note 4 too.

I heard all the ear... moreSure, because all hitherto existing nougat devices are buggy while software bugs are clearly unknown to Samsung packages. Hell, my S7 is still on the November security update. Great work there, Samsung. You fanboys really ought to stop making excuses. There are none for Samsung's extremely poor after sales care. The delay is probably down to them still sitting in their board rooms, discussing what additional bloat that can't be uninstalled or deactivated could be bundled. Absolutely awful.

                                    Alien , 19 Jan 2017No 1 in sales but one of the last when it comes to updates.. Which android No.1 in update? Not many. I heard all the early update of Nougat are buggy. Good job. Keep rushing on early buggy update. I prefer safe bug-free slow update.

                                        Sony is the best in updates almost all its chosen devices to receive android 7 already updated
