We reported last month that the SM-Z250F would be the first smartphone running Tizen 3.0, but it appears that there a change of plans. As per the latest information that we’ve received, the SM-Z400F would be the first phone running the newer version of Tizen.

Samsung now rolling out Nougat update for the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge in Indonesia

Samsung is in the midst of rolling out the much-anticipated Nougat update for the Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F) and Galaxy S7 edge (SM-G935F) in Indonesia. The upgrade, which weighs in at a little less than 1.3GB, bundles all of the features you’d expect to find included in Android 7.0, as well as a slew of additional bug fixes and stability improvements.

If you’d like to see if the OTA is ready for your device, head into Settings » About Device » Download Updates Manually.
