Nougat, coming soon to Samsung S7 & S7 edge

[Chris_K]

Hi Guys,

As some will have already seen, the Android Nougat update will soon become IS NOW available for Samsung S7 devices that were bought from O2. I wanted to create this official update thread to help keep all discussions in the one place and help others more easily find the information they're looking for.

When, Chris, WHEN?!?!
We sent our approved update to Samsung last week and we're expecting the update to go live very soon - hopefully over the next few days. See the 20th Feb update down below!

What can I do to pass the time?
While you're waiting, here's some of the awesome Nougat features & changes you can expect to see on your S7, very soon:

What next?
Once you've got the update available, be sure to create a backup (better to be safe than sorry!) and then jump right in. Please do let us know how you get on, if you encounter any issues, and what features/changes you like or dislike.

20th February Update

Hello all you Samsung Galaxy S7 & S7 edge folks.

Firstly, thanks for everyones patience. We had hoped for this to be available a couple of weeks ago but unfortunately due to some unforeseen delays, our update was pushed back a little. But we're pleased to confirm that as of today the update should now be available.

I'm installing it on my own S7 edge right this very moment. If you'll be installing Nougat on your S7 device, please do let us know how you get on and what your fave new changes or features are.

Some notes:
- It's a 1GB+ download so make sure you download over a strong Wifi connection
- Major updates such as this can take a while to install, so don't fret if it takes 30-60min+
- We'd always recommend to install on a full charge
- Always back up your data before installing updates. Though we don't expect you'll have any issues, it's better to be safe than sorry
- If you use old games/apps that haven't been updated for Nougat compatibility, you may find these have reduced functionality, may crash, or may not work at all

Depends which phone you're talking about but if you look down the list of threads in this section you should find your answer.

Hi @Anonymous It should be with you any day now. O2 have approved it and we expect it this week some time

Creating new posts when you have already posted on the main thread won't get it any quicker, either.

A few people have done that over the past few days. Maybe they think they will go to the top of the Nougat list if they ask nicely....many times..

Asked for merge anyways.

Would the update come first to smart switch users via cable or would it go out the same time as the over the air update would

[MI5]

Usually via Smartswitch first followed by OTA a few days later.

Think i will try smart switch when i get home see what happens if people are saying any time now

Always worth checking.
