Android 7.0 on the Galaxy S7 edge: Grace UX-ed Nougat

01 February 2017
Software updates never come soon enough if you ask the average user. Manufacturers try to be reasonable and explain countless times that it takes extensive testing before a build is ready for rollout, but no - 'where's my update?!' is all they get. We just might have been guilty of the same.

But more worryingly, why is the Always ON score of 58h, less than both previous versions on MM (67h and 63h). I though this update was supposed to improve the efficiency of AlwaysOn.......

                    It would be trashy to ruin the performance/battery life of the exynos version just to even the field. The exynos is simply more battery efficient. No amount of optimizing the snap version will change that

                      The Nougat update brought a hit to the battery life of the 6P and 5X at first. My 5X was getting randomly killed by the OS for a few weeks after I upgraded. It was so bad I wanted to downgrade but then it returned to normal. I think you will need to do some longer term testing to see if this is constant or not.

                          It's a bit sad too see S7 edge's stellar battery score being slightly reduced to 92h because of the Nougat update. I remember when the S5 got updated from KitKat to Lollipop the battery endurance jumped from 72h to 83h!

                              I was initially a little annoyed by how much white they used throughout Grace UX, especially considering they are AMOLED screens.

                                  After nougat update google plystore not download or update any apps while roaming. In home circle works and Wi-Fi also.

                                    So, when the rest of the world is going to get it?
                                    Premium countries got it first and had a headstart to download it without flooding the server's, but for 15 days now, no new countries were announced!
