Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge users can now visualize, more or less, the upgrades they are bound to get via the Android 7.0 Nougat.

There are features, though, that will remain exclusive to the Galaxy S7. Although the camera will get a new interface, complete with gesture controls, the wide selfie mode and video enhancer are among those that will not be part of the update.
According to Phone Arena, the wide selfie with motion feature will be restricted to the S7 and S7 Edge with Nougat. It is said to work exactly like a motion panorama (via the front camera) and is great at taking group selfies. The feature can reportedly transform photos into GIFs in a snap. Meanwhile, the video enhancer is a useful feature that can enhance not only the video quality, but the sound as well.
The Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge are not the only Samsung smartphones to get the Android 7.0 Nougat. Other Galaxy handsets like the S6 Edge+, the Note 5 and the Tab A with S Pen will also get the upgrade. The Tab S2 (LTE unlock), A3 and A8 are also part of the list.
