Android 7.0 - Page 3/8

Through custom ROMs? From what I have read, the only Samsungs getting Nougat are everything in and after the S6 Family. So S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge Plus, Note5, S7, S7 Edge and Note7. The Note4 is now well over 18months old, so the chances it will get Nougat Officially from Samsung are slim, even though both the Snapdragon 805 and Exynos5433 can handle it.

I'd be glad if I am wrong, but I have my doubts. I'm sure it will continue to get Security Updates until late next year though, and thats what matters.

Yeah, I read it wrong. Damn mofo. Maybe I'll get a note 7 when it's cheap * +

get an S7 and go AOSP with it, the note 7 still has issues that you'd be reluctant to fix at the sacrifice of functionality. * +

As far as I understand 800 and 801 based devices wont get nouget cos they dont support the vulcan api but the 805 does which could mean the snapdragon Note 4 maybe in for a chance in getting android 7. and although its been around for a while its still in the shops in europe all over the place, both sim free and on contract. * +

No doubt because we didnt get the Note 5 and untill the 2th september the Note 4 is still the current device in its category here!! * +

THIS could possibly guarantee Nougat for the Note 4! But remember, the S6 Edge Plus was basically the Note replacement there. Hmmm.... Time will tell I guess. * +

[u][link]http://www.androidauthority.com/android-7-0-snapdragon-800-801-712930/[/link][/u] if Gary's theory holds true the note 4 is good to go and the only reason why there's any issue at all is down to google screw*ng around with file encryption in 7.0 * +
