Motorola

OnePlus

Android 7.0 Nougat will be available to OnePlus 3 soon. However, there is no official announcement yet on when the new update will come. According to reports, the new OnePlus 3T currently runs on Android Marshmallow, but the company promised to update to Android Nougat by the end of this year.

Samsung

Since the Samsung Group is going directly to the Android 7.1.1 for its Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, it's highly likely that the Korean electronics giant will release the same update for Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, Galaxy S6 Plus, and Galaxy Note 5.
