In the end and as we informed you a couple of days ago, users of the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge will receive the long-awaited Android 7.1.1 update during the month of January. A couple of days ago, Samsung released the fifth beta of Android 7.0, a beta program that ends today, December 30, according to the statement it has sent to users who are part of the company's beta program. In the same statement we can read how the final version of Android Nougat will arrive throughout the month of January, as soon as possible.
Samsung has not wanted to offer an exact date to recover in health and in case the road encounters some other problem when it comes to deploying the beta. What we do not know is whether the Android 7.1.1 updates will go through the beta program again, or as minor updates Samsung will not deploy the beta program again. What is clear is that before Samsung presents the new Galaxy S8 all the millions of users who have trusted Samsung will be able to enjoy the latest version of Android Nougat, version that includes all the news that Google launched a couple of months ago.
But Samsung is not the only company that also will update your devices to the latest current version of Android Nougat, but so will the Japanese firm Sony, who expressed this decision as if it were the only one who had planned to do so. What is clear is that it is to be appreciated that manufacturers release their version of Android updated to the latest version, something that in previous occasions was very difficult to achieve. Let's see if the rest of the manufacturers take note and follow the same path as Samsung and Sony.
