Samsung just received a clearance from the WiFi Alliance regarding the Android 7.0 Nougat update for their Galaxy S7 sets in USA. For now, no confirmation for the US Galaxy S7 edge Nougat approval at WiFi Alliance, but we know without a doubt that approval would come anytime now, and both sets will receive the update release together.
Yes, that includes AT&T Galaxy S7 (SM-G930A), Sprint Galaxy S7 (SM-G930P), T-Mobile Galaxy S7 (SM-G930T), Verizon Galaxy S7 (SM-G930V) and unlocked US Galaxy S7 (SM-G930U). So, the December release of Galaxy S7 Nougat build very much remains on the cards.
The Android 7.0 update is set for release in time fashion in Europe too, as we saw earlier that Vodafone Australia is testing the S7 Nougat update too.
The certification is for the Android 7.0 build (see screenshots), mind you, which is odd as we had learnt earlier that Samsung was looking to release the Nougat update with Android 7.1.1 build on-board, not the Android 7.0 build, which BTW, is currently under beta testing.
Anyway, even it it’s Android 7.0 that the Samsung Nougat update is based on, we’d gladly accept it than increase wait for the, and because of the, 7.1.1 build.
More screenshots, covering all Galaxy S7 variants that received the approval for Android 7.0 update in US today.
