I think Google should skip next year's updates to force OEM's to update to nougat, either that or take over the updates from them * +

they can't do the latter because proprietary firmware drivers are needed to make cameras speakers pens screens and modems work. a pure google rom is about 600mb's whereas an OEM one can be 2.5gb's. imagine the headache of being responsible for every device ever made... * +

Phones with Snapdragon 800 and 801 will not get Android Nougat Officially * +

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. * +

even unofficial builds will be lacking (as I'm sure you know) the vulkan api because Qualcomm aren't going to release it. no dev is going to be able to write drivers for it so we'll get something half baked instead. * +
