The company first introduced this program with the launch of Android 6.0 Marshmallow last year. This year, it will offer them the opportunity to take a beta version of Android 7.0 Nougat out for a spin on their Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge.

Throughout the Galaxy Beta Program period, the end date of program is going to differ by country and may be subject to change as well, users to be able to truly experience Android 7.0 Nougat with Samsung's new UX and provide the company with feedback that will help improve the experience. Those who are interested in taking part in this program must have an active Samsung Account and they must program requirements. If they do, they then have to download the Galaxy Beta Program app from Galaxy Apps or the Samsung Members app.
