The South Korean tech giant Samsung has already lined-up its flagship devices for the new Android 7.0 Nougat update and the update is getting ready with final touches for the official release that is expected anytime soon.

It is recently reported that the company is working on the Android 7.0 Nougat update for its flagship device Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy Tab S2. However, both the Galaxy devices in question are still languishing in the Android 6.0 Marshmallow, and users across the globe are awaiting the new OS update.

Reports from SamMobile on Android 7.0 Update

SamMobile recently on its news reports said that the Samsung is developing the Android 7.0 Nougat OS update for the Galaxy Tab S2 and Galaxy Note 5.

Reports from SamMobile says, "We can now confirm that Android 7.0 Nougat for the Galaxy Note 5 and the Galaxy Tab S2 is being developed as well"

However, the source of the information has not been mentioned in the article. But it is a known fact that Samsung is already in the works of bringing the Android 7.0 Nougat update for Galaxy S6 edge and Galaxy S6 smartphones, which makes the news under discussion also believable.

The Samsung Galaxy Beta Program

Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge users in select regions like US, UK and Korea are being able to test the firmware's beta version upon registering with their Samsung ID. The Beta program is soon expected to be launched in China as well.

Expected time of release

It is, however, unclear whether the Beta Program will be further extended for Galaxy Tab S2 and Galaxy Note 5. It is also not yet assured that users shall be receiving the Android 7.0 Nougat update on their Galaxy Tab S2 and Galaxy Note 5 devices anytime soon. It is expected that Samsung will likely take a few months to roll out the update. However, users can expect the update to reach them as positively as early 2017.
