Update Android 7 Nougat: supported devices

We have learned to very much appreciate the innovations introduced by Android 7 Nougat, even before it came out thanks to the beta released by Google. After the release the time has come to ask the fateful question that every Android user is posed with every release of a new update: my device will never become the update to Android 7 Nougat?

Android updates are a thorny theme of which we have already employed in our study:

As the more informed of you might already know Google is not directly concerned with the updates of Android devices, unless you speak of the terminals products from Google (such as Nexus and the Pixels). Are the producers who, on receiving the code from Google (now with a substantial advance compared to the release to the public), they have to prepare the updates for their devices.

And here is the sore point: no device is up to date as fast as those produced by Google and all the manufacturer updates it with its own time and ways. There is to say that the situation has improved dramatically with the latest update and now most of the major manufacturers update their devices to the top of the range in a reasonable time. Unfortunately, however, the producers tend nearly always to abandon prematurely the base and mid-range.

We see here all the information that we have on the updates to Android 7 Nougat divided by manufacturer.

The manufacturer faster at releasing updates, but new versions of Android are prepared on the Nexus and the Pixels. Terminals products from the Big G also have access to development versions of the system. It is also the manufacturer and more simple to treat the Nexus 5 and the Nexus 6 have already been updated to Android 7.0 and will receive the update to the new version 7.1 Nougat. Android 7.1 is already available on the new Pixels since their release.

Here is a convenient summary table:

The house, the South Korean has seen a big scaling of its proprietary interface, and after leaving top of the range such as the Galaxy S3 too early has clearly reversed course. Now provides updates enough be expeditious for its top of the range for about 18 months and is also involved in some of the middle range as the smartphone of the series In 2016 (A3, A5, A7, A8, A9, and the A9 pro).

Here is our summary table of the situation.

And it's always been one of the homes the fastest in updates to its new terminal, the V20 has been released directly with Nougat on board and the update for the G5 is already available for terminals in italy. LG has made no announcements about the fate of the terminals earlier, the G4 has a good chance of seeing an update, the more difficult the situation for the G3.

Many users appreciate the terminals of the house, especially for the excellent quality / price ratio. Usually the home update users through the forum ZenTalk , to date, he has not given news on the update to the Nougat. It is legitimate to think that the update for Zenfone 3 is in preparation.

For example, all of the Z-line has been updated to Android 6 Marshmallow, together with the terminals, most sold and most powerful of the series M and C. the update Nougat is likely that some terminals are older are left behind.
