      Also, as many have noted, this was an extremely flawed poll. The "no" option wasn't added until after most people had voted. It's even more telling when you look at the graph. Most of the votes were "no" after they added the option.

              Nothing on my Moto X Pure. Motorola is lagging on this one even though the sale pitch for the X Pure was an almost Andoid Stock OS. Maybe, one day, I'll get out of 6.0 and move on forward with the world.

                  I'll agree ios is solid but if you really want to put your phone to good use and actually own it instead of rent it like like all ios users Android is the only choice.

                  I have an iPhone somewhere. I can't remember where I put it but I do own one. But I also have five Android gadgets. Three that I use daily. Two of them have Nougat on them and I do prefer Nougat over any other Android versions. The other gadgets just won't function past Android 5. They're just too old. I still use them though. Not like my iPhone.

                  I gotta find that thing now and turn it on so I'm reminded why I don't like Apple products anymore. Oh! I remember! I can't even put an icon where I want to. Enough said.

                    regs, 12 Feb 2017Pointless poll. Even wasn't able to vote. Statistics reveal... moreThe poll was conducted on the people who visit the site, wich are a little portion of the total population. So they say that 70% of those reader are within the 1% of the total population (wich is logical as most the readers are tech-savy)

                      No I have not received Nougat. I am on Cricket, and Nougat will not be on this network. I have a Moto G4 Play that sucks much ass. Going to update to a Google Pixel phone and their service, so then I will get Nougat

                              those people who are complaining about samsung not updating their s7...why? it hasnt brought anything more except decrease the battery life and mess up the AOD notifications..sure you can double tap into the notifications from AOD..but battery life went down the drain..then split screen, other stuff nougat brought are already there on samsung's cfw or we add it like cleanmaster, etc...got my update some time ago...not sure if i'm happy though..athough i saw an option to unlock bootloader..if that interests anyone..

                                  I think you have it backwards, pal!

                                  Every kid I know has an iPhone. Android has 78% of the market. Explain that! Never mind! I'll just get some lame answer from an iPhone fanboy.

                                  Don't get me wrong. Ios is a solid OS. It's just if you really want to put your phone to good use and really own it a tech savvy person will always choose Android.

                                  I have Nougat on two of my gadgets and really like, actually prefer it.

Although iOS has an arguebly superior base, the fact that the One Plus 3T has just about 60% of the processing power of an iPhone 7 and still beats in speed tests whilst remaining fully customisable and modifiable and costing half the price should tell you enough.

                                    That said, even if someone can admit that an iPhone is better than their phone, why the hell are they considered kids if they make the more grown up decision? To know how little it matters and rather spending money on their family's future instead of pointless rivalry?

                                        You should have given a sixth poll entry titled "Do you have a galaxy S7?" I mean officially its been released on 17th of Jan. But still no nougat for my SM930FD and millions of other devices. This is disappointing. It has been almost one month.
