Vinay PatelHere's good news for Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge users as they will finally be able to delve into Google's latest mobile OS (operating system), the Android Nougat. If latest reports are anything to go by, Android Nougat's final release for last year's Samsung Galaxy flagship smartphones is just around the corner.
While Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge users continue waiting with bated breath for the rollout, recently surfaced support documents seem have spilled the beans about the firmware.

For instance, the relatively flatter notification interface has got rid of the traditional green color seen in earlier TouchWiz icons.

Interestingly, a few screen grabs of native apps including Samsung's Messaging application shows the same design language.

The new lock screen further cements this claim.
