Samsung will continue with the Android 7.0 Nougat beta testing for the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and Samsung Galaxy S7. However, Verizon-owned handsets of the both models will not be included. According to reports, the carrier has notified the Samsung Galaxy Beta app users that their phones will remain in the original software for the rest of the trial.
This means that when Samsung starts to release another Nougat beta build for the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, they will not be accessible to the Verizon owners.
Samsung Galaxy S7 and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge reports indicate that the owners will have an option to either stay with the current Nougat beta build that have been installed or choose to roll back to an Android 6.0..1 Marshmallow.
It should also be noted that Verizon owners will have to wait for the next official Nougat update, which is reported to be early next year, to begin the roll out for both the Samsung Galaxy smartphones.
Meantime, Samsung Galaxy S7 and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge users on other networks can receive the latest Nougat beta if they have an active Samsung account. They can also have the said Nougat beta by installing the Samsung Galaxy Beta Program app from Samsung Galaxy Apps Store, according to Android Authority.
Meanwhile, Samsung has made the process of Android 7.0 Nougat testing more convenient, as the Korean tech giant confirms to re-open the Beta Testing Program for consumers and developers. The registration, which started in November this year, has already been reopened for the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge users in the UK, while those in the US may have to wait for the program in just a few days.
Recent reports suggest that Samsung Galaxy S7 users will also have the official Android 7.0 Nougat update in December. Moreover, the unlocked Samsung Galaxy S7 users in Asia are reported to receive the update first, followed by those in Europe and the US. Alongside the launch of the Android 7.0 Nougat is the release of guides to present an overview of the changes and new features that will be brought by the update to the smartphone users, University Herald reported.
