According to rumors, Samsung has completed the Galaxy Beta program for updating the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge with Android Nougat software, and it seems that they are going to be released in January 2017.
The Samsung Beta program ended at the end of December as they had already released five updates for the Android operating system and included some changes to Samsung's UI.
The specific rumors claim that in Europe the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge will receive the Nоugat update on January 17. Specifically, according to a report published on the Chinese Weibo, details about the upgrade are revealed, but we do not yet know if they are true as the text may have been misinterpreted by the users who shared it.
The text states that the upgrade will reach Europe next week and will be received by devices that carry the number SM-G935F. This code number of the upgraded operating system constitutes a cross‑reference of the updates for the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge.
Although there is talk that some devices will receive the 7.0 Nougat and others the 7.1.1 Nougat update, it is most likely that all smartphones will run on 7.1.1 Nougat, which will additionally include all the basic features we see in the previous version.
In fact, the number of the upgraded model is also mentioned in the European Galaxy S7 event, which proves that owners of the S7 and S7 Edge will receive the update as soon as possible.
For information, recent sources report that a number of Galaxy S7 have already received Nougat updates as part of the testing process.
