Samsung has started rolling out the Android 7.0 Nougat update for the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge.

The update also enables faster speeds for downloading apps and system software updates.

Android 7.0 Nougat – the enhancements

The Quick Panel features a cleaner aesthetic, as titles have been removed from the icons in the panel’s first depth.

Icons in the second depth are organised into groups of nine, making them easier to locate.

An improved controller allows the window size to be easily adjusted in split-screen view.

A new pop-up window function that supports up to five separate windows in addition to the two in the split-screen view is also available.

The new Performance Mode lets users optimise their smartphones to meet their specific needs.

Samsung Pass, a master key for website login on Samsung Internet, is now supported by the S7 and S7 Edge.

Users can use their fingerprint to log into certain websites and apps. The feature will soon be expanded to support mobile banking apps.
