In a strange turn of events, Samsung has reportedly started rolling out the Android 7.0 Nougat update for Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge smartphones after announcing a delay. While the update was initially scheduled to arrive by February-end, the South Korean company had announced the update has been delayed indefinitely while it was reviewing quality. Nonetheless, as users in Europe have started seeing the Nougat update on their smartphones, it won’t be too long before the rollout reaches Indian users.
The latest update for the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge weighs around 1.35GB, however, it might change a bit owing to location and model. A report on Android Police notes that global roll out to Galaxy S6 series should follow in the coming weeks. Now the next lookout will be for the release on Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 edge+ models.
SamMobile says that users across several European countries have started receiving the much-awaited update. Users have even shared screenshots of the update, which reveal that the firmware version G925FXXU5EQBG, has been released for the smartphones.
