Android users can check if their device is ready to receive the update by checking out the "Download update manually" found in the "About Device" option of their device's Settings.
Sony and Samsung had been about to release the update to their respective devices, but had put it on hold. Sony announced last week that their Xperia devices will start receiving the Nougat 7.0 update, but the company canceled the deployment several days ago. The company explained that their engineers are "still working on the inconsistencies in Nougat for Z5, Z3+ and Z4 Tablet."
Samsung also pulled out the release of Android 7.0 Nougat for Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge after reportedly discovering several issues on performance.
There is no news of when both companies will commence their OS update rollout.
