It looks like the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge users could start getting the Android 7.0 Nougat update next week in India. We will let you know once the update finally starts rolling out.
A Samsung representative has revealed to Sammobile that Samsung India will start distributing the Android 7.0 Nougat update to the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge in the coming days, probably by next week. While speaking to a customer inquiring about the accessibility of the Nougat update, a customer service representative has said that they're expecting Nougat to start rolling out to the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge next week.
According to Android Headlines, the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge initially started receiving the upgrade to Android 7.0 Nougat in the month of March and are already running the new version of Google's operating system in many countries across Europe, including the United Kingdom, Italy, and Netherlands. For non-unlocked variants of Samsung's 2015 handsets, some wireless carriers in the United States are already started updating to Nougat.
The latest software itself ships with a variety of new features, tweaks, and optimizations which are meant to improve performance, battery life, and the overall user experience of the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge. Among other things, Android 7.0 Nougat boasts improvements to Doze and Multi-Window modes, a revamped notification system, and better multi-tasking functionality.
Seeing how the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge were released with Android 5.0.2 Lollipop, Android 7.0 Nougat is almost certainly the last major build of Android which will officially arrive on the handsets, though both should still continue receiving Android Security Updates in the coming months.
However, recent crackdowns of several Samsung-made apps have suggested that the Samsung is currently testing some build of Android 7.1 for its older Galaxy devices. However, it remains to be seen whether the company ends up distributing that build to the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge. Stay tuned to Droid Report for more update on Android 7.0 Nougat Update.
