November reports indicated Samsung had begun developing the Android Nougat update for the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge.

The Galaxy S7 Active has not begun updating, but it has also been spotted running Android Nougat on a popular benchmark test.
Other Samsung Galaxy Devices
The Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy Tab S2 are also expected to update to Android Nougat. These devices may be some of the last to update as they are slightly older than other devices on the list. However, both the Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy Tab S2 have been spotted running Android Nougat on benchmarks.
