Android renews itself constantly, and with it comes new security, new features and other ways to use the phone. Yesterday Android 7 Nougat official, and the rollout of the new operating system is already underway for many of Nexus models, but with a different phone you may need to wait a bit.
The big question is of course about exactly my phone gets update, and secondly – how long do I have to really wait?
are you wondering what you waiting for? Read more about Android 7 here and sneak peeks our from a previous beta version can be found here “
There are still very early in the process, and for several mobile manufacturers are enough little unclear exactly when the roll to happen, and which of the models beyond top models get. But some details we have.
At first publication, this is a fairly short list, but it will be far fuller eventually, so use the links in the list below to find your mobile brand.
Sony
Sony has exited early with confirmation of which phones get the upgrade to Android 7. this is about models that extends a couple of years back in time.
the bad news for you who own an Xperia Sony does not currently want to time fixing the rollout of single models. Moreover, it is unclear whether the middle models in the Xperia M series will get an update, while Xperia E series so far has not been planned for updating.
So we must wait a bit for fun, but you who have one of the phones listed below do know that the update is on the way.
Sony will release any more information about the update on their Xperia blog, but we update the case if it turns up times or other devices .
These are Android 7.0 Nougat:
LG
LG has not given us feedback on exactly which models will get the upgrade, but from the company’s Nordic spokesman, David Montanya, we learn that you have purchased top models from the Korean mobile manufacturer can feel reasonably assured of getting the update.
– LG G5 gets clearly Android 7, and we support flagships our two years also G4 will get upgrade, but it may take some more time, we learn from LG spokesman.
Although there can be no concrete date for the rollout, there is much to suggest that it is imminent.
– G5 tested already with nougat in Scandinavia, and if testing goes according to plan, the rollout to start shortly, concludes Montanya.
we have requested more information here and update the article as soon as we have it. The list is therefore fairly short initially, but the day after the launch it is too early to panic about not your phone is listed.
These are Android 7.0 Nougat:
- LG V20 is worth mentioning, since it is one of the first phones with Android 7, but it is not currently planned for Europe and Scandinavia.
Samsung
So far we have not received information about which phones will be upgraded from Samsung, but we reckon anyway with the top models of Galaxy S6 and out will get the update sooner or later. We are waiting for any specific feedback from Samsung, thus our list a preliminary one, where we primarily take with the very newest models.
One of these is the new top model Galaxy Note 7. According to Korea Times citing Samsung’s mobile chief, Koh Dong-jin, it will get the update within two to three months.
– it is very important for us to provide updated information about the new operating system, but it is even more important to build a stable and seamless platform for users. Therefore we plan to do adequate testing before the update is rolled out, explained Koh Dong-jin to Korea Times.
The list we have made under underpinned largely by rumors presented by, among others Gottabemobile.com, except for Galaxy A5 (2016), which is a little joker in this committee – given the location midway between the top and bottom.
the list below is provisional, based on age, price and historical expectations for top models. It is not confirmed by Samsung. As soon as an officially verified list is in place, the article will be updated.
These are likely Android 7.0 Nougat:
Huawei
when publishing we still expect a reply from Huawei which of the models will get the update and when. But we keep a clear button on the top models in P9 series.
An important part of the reason for that is that we already have test driven a nearly finished version of Android 7 on Huawei P9. It was actually so close to flawless that it will surprise really if not the Chinese mobile phone manufacturer has set itself an early deadline for deployment. It is still an open question whether the rollout will take place at the same time in all markets.
Several times past, we have seen various brands start deploying very early, but only in specific markets. Just when Huawei update is ready in Scandinavia remains to answer. But since we know that P9 models have an update on the way we hold them to be totally secure.
These are Android 7.0 Nougat:
Huawei has not officially confirmed which phones will get the update.
the models below, we estimate will be updated during its lifespan. As confirmation process begins to tick into we will try to move as many as possible of these models, and any other models in the safe list.
These are likely Android 7.0 Nougat:
Motorola
Again we are waiting for a response from Motorola and Lenovo on which models will get the update. The company has also released the great Moto G4 phones in medium to low price ranges, and the modular phone Droid Z will also be on the way.
Just which of these models will get the update we do not know with certainty but Motorola has flash with rapid update previously, then it is permissible to hope that there will not be left too long.
the brand has nevertheless been through so many changes, and jumped a bit in and out of the Nordic market, so here we dare not to make any big guesses until we receive a response from the company’s Nordic PR department.
Nexus models
most current Nexus models are equipped with update, but this year, Google has cut support for some of the older varieties.
These are Android 7.0 Nougat:
These Nexus models will not update:
If you have an older Nexus than this, it is unlikely that you will get the update from official sources, but it is not inconceivable that you could still get it from elsewhere. For example, there are a variety mobile geeks and enthusiasts who make the installation files for models that are no longer supported by the manufacturers. Many of these can be found on the forums at Xda-developers.com.
