Nougat finally released for the O2 Galaxy S6!!!

WOOHOO!!!! Finally!!!!

Some 8 months and 23 days after it was first released, Android Nougat has just been downloaded to my O2 32GB Galaxy S6 and is currently being installed as I type. 

If you have an S6, check your software update in Settings. It wasn't pushed to my device, I manually checked it just now and the update started downloading. I last checked it yesterday and the update wasn't available then, so it must have appeared today.

It's a 1.3gb file, but hopefully it's worth the very long wait.

Not really almost 9 months though as Samsung didn't release it for the S6 until early March and only Voda have pushed it out before O2, so they've not hung about with it in reality.

Yeah, bit of a stretch on timescale tbh.

Hope it doesn't give you any issues after the long wait but you won't see much difference to be honest.

You might want to read reviews first before installing Nougat....apparently it makes the S6 battery worse than it already is.

Great news @Anonymous You will have to let us know what you think of the update once you have it installed!

So why is it not available on samfirmware directly?

[MI5]

Have you checked for the BTU firmware as we don't know the CSC of the phone that has updated, it may be generic firmware?

I think my S6 heard what i said about it above.......I now have the black screen of doom

So perhaps instead of it being O2 specific firmare its unbranded used by O2 customers?
