Android Nougat 7.0 finally coming to Samsung Galaxy S7

The wait is almost over. The Android Nougat 7.0 update for the Samsung Galaxy S7 is landing as an over-the-air update in Europe and should be rolling out to more markets soon. For those who’ve joined the beta program, it’s highly likely you’ll be getting the update first when it reaches your market. The update is 215MB in size and comes not just with the Nougat update but with a new UX added in the package and other “performance modes” and improvements. Just keep your eye out for the update to head your way and make sure you have enough battery (or charge your S7) while you update your phone.

Moto Z get another Nougat update, but it’s not 7.1 build

If you’ve gotten an update on your Moto Z device and think it’s a push to Android 7.1, unfortunately that isn’t the case. It’s a big 540MB update (with build number NPL25.86-17-3) but the build still remains at 7.0. What’s only listed in the update prompt is it has fixed a low volume notification sound issue experienced by users in the past month. But we can’t say what else has been changed specifically to warrant that big of a file. We’re assuming there are a lot of other bug fixes and performance improvements added to it. If you got this update, have you noticed any changes to it? Don’t forget to leave a comment below.

Moto Z and Z Force get Nougat update & Daydream VR support

You should keep your eyes peeled and glued on your screen (okay, not really) but important updates for Moto Z and Moto Z Force users are coming soon. First, Android 7.0 Nougat is coming to both devices. Verizon users will be the first one to get the updated but it should head this way soon. Aside from that, both smartphones will be certified Daydream-compatible, making them the first non-Pixel devices to have the support for Google’s Daydream View VR headset.

OnePlus 3 to get Nougat update before end of 2016

Sometimes we wish all manufacturers roll out Android updates as quickly as they can. One company who is trying to get it right is OnePlus. After merging its two separate software teams (the China-only HydrogenOS and OxygenOS), OnePlus has announced that OnePlus 3 owners will be getting the community build of Android 7.0 Nougat in the next few weeks, while the final build will be out before the end of the year. OnePlus 2 users will have to wait a bit, the phone is promised to be getting Nougat also but there is no specific timeframe for it.
