Here's good news for Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge users as they will finally be able to delve into Google's latest mobile OS (operating system), the Android Nougat. If latest reports are anything to go by, Android Nougat's final release for last year's Samsung Galaxy flagship smartphones is just around the corner.
While Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge users continue waiting with bated breath for the rollout, recently surfaced support documents seem have spilled the beans about the firmware. As expected, the support documents are running rampant all over the internet. The commercial version of Android Nougat update for the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge is rumored to arrive this month.

The purported support documents consist of a few screenshots that give a peek at exactly how the update will look like. Although very few, the images seem to shed more light on Samsung's Nougat interpretation.
For instance, the relatively flatter notification interface has got rid of the traditional green color seen in earlier TouchWiz icons. Based on this, it looks like Samsung's Android Nougat update could bear a striking resemblance to the stock experience. Interestingly, a few screen grabs of native apps including Samsung's Messaging application shows the same design language.

The camera app seems to have undergone a radical overhaul. It is more polished as far as looks and features are concerned. The viewfinder now sports new features including the ability to lock focus and exposure. Samsung is expected to augment the stock Nougat version with its own proprietary features. The new lock screen further cements this claim.
Moreover, the actionable notifications feature introduced by the Galaxy Note 7 will be making a comeback in this Nougat build.
It is worth noting that leading OEMs including LG and Sony have already rolled out their versions of the Nougat-based TouchWiz last year. In other words, Samsung will late to the party.
