The Galaxy S7, S6 and their Edge variants have already received the Android Nougat update, but they aren’t the only one getting this special treatment. In December last year Samsung started the beta testing program on Galaxy S7 and S7 edge for the Android Nougat version and after weeks of testing, an official version was released for Galaxy S7.

Gradually, other devices also started getting the Nougat update and now, the turn of Galaxy note 5 has arrived too. As you can see, you can finally download Android 7.0 Nougat Firmware on your Canadian Koodo Mobile Galaxy Note 5.
