Surprise! Monday, August 22 was the day of Nougat. Finally surprise, not that much. Canadian operator Telus had published a note informing the availability of Android 7.0 just on that date.
Google has provided official confirmation. Nougat, a number of users since the public beta test in May, adds multiple features for the mobile platform: split screen, Doze on the Go to save battery, support Google's VR namely Daydream
LG V20: first smartphone natively under Nougat
And how to access these new features? This is where things get complicated a bit. This is not new, however. The vast majority of Android device owners will be able to taste the nougat for weeks, if not months (some even never).
First served will be those fitted with Nexus: Nexus 6, Nexus 5X, 6P Nexus, Nexus 9, Nexus Player Pixel C and General Mobile 4G (Android One) receive updates "over-the-air" in during "the coming weeks".
The terminals associated with Android Beta program Google will automatically be updated to the final version of the OS. As for Android manufacturers customers like Samsung, Motorola, HTC and others, they will have to wait until these adapt Nougat and then deploy it.
For owners of smartphones or tablets purchased from a telephone operator, with an overlay of it and therefore not desimlockés, the wait will be even longer. The most impatient can also pick a smartphone with preinstalled Nougat.
And the first smartphone running Android 7.0 natively to land on the market is the LG V20 LG manufacturer. The launch is scheduled for September 6.
