After the completion of this test is likely to be the global roll out of the start.

The start of the soak test seems to be the end to usher in the Android Nougat beta, at the end of november started. It remains unclear when the update for all users will appear, but we expect that this is not much longer will last. We’ll only know if both devices directly to Android 7.1 to be updated or that it will go to version 7.0. In addition, Samsung in the coming months, and also other high-end Galaxy phones update to Nougat, including the Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, Galaxy S6 Edge+ and the Galaxy S7 Active, recently, in a benchmark with Android 7.0 Nougat was spotted.

Android 7.1.1 brings support for round app icons, enhanced wallpaper live metadata, a blauwlichterfilter to sleep to improve, and a new keyboard, which allows you to easier pictures, images, and gif files can share.

The most interesting feature of Android 7.1 are, in our view the shortcuts for app features. From the app icon, certain actions may be implemented more quickly, such as, for example, directly to navigate via Google Maps. The operation is the best to comparison with the 3D Touch technology of Apple, however, they work in Android 7.1 without the presence of a pressure-sensitive screen.
