Samsung Publishes List of Its Phones That Will Receive Android Nougat
Samsung is the largest manufacturer of Android phones by a wide margin , but that doesn’t guarantee timely updates. Today, months after Nougat was announced , the company has finally determined which phones will receive the update.
Samsung is immediately rolling out Android 7.0 to the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge. In addition to its two current flagships, the company says it plans to release Nougat to a range of devices “during the first half of the year.” Here is a complete list of devices receiving the update:
- Galaxy S7
- Galaxy S7 Edge
- Galaxy S6
- Galaxy S6 Edge
- Galaxy S6 Edge Plus
- Galaxy Note 5
- Galaxy Tab A with S Pen
- Galaxy Tab S2 (LTE Unlock)
- Galaxy A3
- Galaxy A8
It’s a decent list, even if it only covers a subset of Samsung’s product line. What’s more, most of these devices won’t get updates until Google is almost ready to announce the next version of Android. However, it is better than nothing.
