Following weeks of testing, Samsung finally started rolling out the long-awaited Nougat update for the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge yesterday. Those fortunate enough to participate in the Beta Program were the first to receive the upgrade, but it'll be making its way to other devices over the course of the next couple of weeks.

When it finally arrives on your handset, there's a good chance (if you've never played around with Nougat before), you're going to notice a lot of differences between Android 6.0 and Android 7.0. Fortunately, we've been working hard at detailing all the fresh features in our comprehensive What's New With Nougat series.
