Poutine, long winters, and delayed Android updates — all part of the Canadian dream.
Canadian owners can finally relax about that damn Nougat update. Weeks and months after it hit the rest of the world — are we the last ones to receive it?! — Canadians can expect Android 7.0 Nougat for the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge on March 20, . Telus, Bell, Freedom Mobile and others will likely follow suit shortly afterwards.
It's unclear why the Canadian variants have taken so long to be updated — Canadian carriers have a tendency to overcompensate on network quality control, and the inconsistent rollout of VoLTE has hampered update speed in the past — but the good news is that it's finally coming. That it took almost a year from the phone's release is not a legacy Samsung should be proud of, though, but Canadians can expect a lot of great new features, including a refreshed UI, proper display scaling, improved performance and battery efficiency, multi-window mode, and more.
At this rate, though, Canadians should get their Nougat update well before the unlocked variant of the GS7 in the U.S. — some consolation, right?
