Android Nougat Update for Samsung

[AC Question]

Does anyone know what devices Samsung will upgrade to Android Nougat? I just purchased a Samsung Galaxy J7 (2015) from T-mobile and I don't want to be stuck on a device with Marshmellow for 2 years. Motorola sort of screwed my mom and I with one of the Moto X (2014) phones we bought when then decided to not to upgrade it to Marshmellow, luckily mine was a pure so I got the upgrade.

Thanks.

No ideas at all. I guess it will take a little while. Can't see your J7 not getting Nougat, though

A quick Google search and the answer is... I don't think anyone other than Samsung knows, and Samsung isn't saying anything publicly. A Samsung device released in 2015 quite possibly will get the new OS, but don't expect anything any time soon. Samsung has a habit of releasing updates for older devices LAST. Example - my Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014) got Lollipop around Thanksgiving of 2015, AFTER Marshmallow was already out.
