After 5 months of rigorous testing, during which it has been available to the public and developers as a preview, Googlehas finally launched Android 7.0 Nougat - its next OS.
Don’t get excited yet though, the new OS is only available forGoogle Nexus devices right now since they have stock Android on them.
However, if you do have an Android device that uses Google's stock OS, then you are also in luck.
Surprisingly though, the new Android Nougat OS announcement does not come with any new hardware as Google has traditionally done in recent years.
Right now, the Nougat OS will be available first on the Nexus 6,Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, Nexus 9, Nexus Player and Pixel C over the air (OTA) in the coming days.
However, not all Nexus owners should be rejoicing yet. TheNexus 5 line is being ended officially and as such will not be able to partake in the Nougat experience.
In Android Nougat, Google is implementing some new features and improving on some of the features that are carried over from the earlier Marshmallow OS.
Google may be announcing a new Android OS without a new Nexus device for the first time but a new device will definitely be available before the end of the year.
Leaks and rumors in recent times have pointed towards HTCas the next manufacturer of the upcoming Nexus phone even though there hasn't been any official statement from Google.
In other related developments, the honor of the first Android device to sport Android 7.0 Nougat will go to the LG V20smartphone. LG has already confirmed this with a new image on its website.
