When will your phone get the update to Android’s latest OS, the Nougat?

Currently, Android’s latest operating system, the Nougat, is available for recent Nexus devices of Google. But now when the final release is available other smartphone manufacturers may also get in for updates.

This time, unlike the Marshmallow update in 2015, Google launched a public beta program enabling anyone to sign up and speed up the process of reporting bugs, that could soon be fixed by Google.

In the meantime, the users not using the Nexus phones can prepare for the long hibernation and several search queries to check for the software update. Google launched the final version of Android 7.0 two days ago. Moreover, here is what is expected from different smartphone brands regarding updates.

Samsung

The Galaxy Note 7 will get the Android 7.0 software update within 2-3 months.
Moreover, it is also speculated that the company will roll out the update to S7 and S7 Edge.
