Galaxy S6 edge+ with Nougat receives Wi-Fi certification

Firmware
By 

Last updated: February 27th, 2017 at 17:09 UTC+01:00

Samsung released the Android 7.0 Nougat update for the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 edge last month and we know that the company has been working on this update for other devices like the Galaxy S6 series and the Galaxy Note 5 as well. The company hasn't released the update for said devices just yet but it's expected to do so in the near future.

We've now spotted the Galaxy S6 edge+ with Nougat receiving its Wi-Fi certification which suggests that it may not be too long before this handset is bumped up to Android 7.0. However, Samsung hasn't confirmed as yet when it's going to do this for the Galaxy S6 edge+.

I should mention here that the detailed Nougat release roadmap shared by Samsung Turkey recently pointed out that the Galaxy S6 edge+ would receive its Nougat update in the second week of March. If the dates in its roadmap are accurate then we could see this handset receive Nougat in other markets across the globe around the same time as well.

We'll be sure to update you as and when more information surfaces about Nougat for the Galaxy S6 edge+.
