We have had 4 developer previews of Android N in the last few months, and only yesterday Android Nougat came to be official name and Android 7.0 to be official version for the Android N developer previews.
In an official statement, Google announced Android Nougat to release publicly this fall (autumn). However, any particular release date hasn’t been shared yet. We suspect Android Nougat to mature out of previews, and publicly release alongside announcement of next generation of Nexus devices.
New Nexus devices are generally released by the end of September. But knowing that it has been 4 months since Google announced the first N preview release, we expect Android Nougat to release a little early than the usual yearly release time-frame (september-november).
Also, rumors about the 2016 Nexus devices are gaining traction with each day passing. It is being rumored that HTC will be shipping the next greatest Nexus device, and that it will be codenamed Marlin.
We’re keeping an eye on all over the web for any clues on a particular release date for Android Nougat and the newer Nexus devices. In our opinion, Android Nougat 7.0 update will arrive with newer Nexuses only, let’s wait and see what follows. Stay tuned..
Expected Android Nougat release date: August 2016
