Developers need a break. LOLCheck back after the S8 comes out. They have unlimited data back, they already did their one good thing for the quarter lol
They rolled out 7.0 Nougat to my Nexus 6 back in December. It's listed in the software updates on the website.
Given that T-Mobile got it 2-3 weeks ago, then AT&T just got it, my best guess, and I stress GUESS, is that Verizon and/or Sprint will get it next within the same time-frame. I am leaning more towards Verizon, not just because I have a SM-935V (S7 Edge - Verizon), but due to the fact that they have the largest network compared to Sprint.
With the "Big 4" - T-Mobile / AT&T are GSM, and Sprint / Verizon are CDMA. Given that T-Mobile got it first, then AT&T just got it, my best guess, and I stress GUESS, is that Sprint and/or Verizon will get it next within the same time-frame. I am leaning more towards Sprint (T-Mobile is does not have the marketshare AT&T does, and they released theirs first), so it would stand to reason following that pattern that in the next 2-3 weeks we will see Sprint drop, then we will see Verizon - other CDMA carrier variants will follow, then unlocked phones.
I am learning that the REALLY big question is that why would unlocked phones NOT get it first? After talking with a family friend who works in the regional office of one of the "Big 4", is that Samsung has contractual obligations with the carriers, and has NO obligation to unlocked phone owners - so they will most likely be last.
I really hope we are talking about days not weeks for those of us who have the unlocked version. I am still on the fence about getting a pixel so I won't keep wondering when I'll get updates. I'll never go back to Apple, but I sure do miss the regular updating schedule. I'll never buy or recommend another unlocked Samsung. That is for sure.
I assumed that unlocked phones would get updates first since Samsung doesn't have to waste time with the carriers. I guess in the end it doesn't matter. If you don't get Google's phone you have to wait
