Meanwhile, LG’s upcoming V20 smart-phone is likely to be the first phone to be launched with an inbuilt Android 7.0 Nougat.

Users having Nexus 5X, Nexus 6, Nexus 6P, Google Pixel C, Nexus 9, Nexus Player or Android One device may enjoy the latest update on their phones soon.
In Android Nougat, Google is implementing some new features and improving on some of the features that are carried over from the earlier Marshmallow OS.

Those with Nexus devices are going to start getting the roll-out today, and as you’d expect, there’s a lot of new features and improvements. Nexus devices, which are those running an unmodified version of Google’s phone and tablet OS will get the bump first. You should get a notification saying there’s an update ready to install. I’m sure if you’re coming from Marshmallow, however, Nougat’s download size will be significantly bigger. Along with the Android N OS, Sony is also providing new features and functions. Also, you’ll want to keep the device plugged in and perform the download over a Wi-Fi stable connection if you decide to go with an OTA updates.
