Every year we get one or a couple of updates for the world's most used Operating System on mobile phones. This year's update is called Android Nougat, following the theme of dessert-inspired names.

This year the Nougat was first released to developers with a public preview beta program. Google started rolling out Android 7.0 Nougat to Nexus devices on 22 August.

It has also been confirmed that the final release of Android 7.1 is scheduled for early December. Google has also confirmed it is working with device manufacturers to bring the Nougat update to your devices.

Google has started the Android 7.1 beta program, bringing Daydream VR support and other goodies to devices prior to full release and that started on 19 October. The Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P and Pixel C can all get access to Android 7.1 now.
