Android Nougat release date: when you'll get it and everything you need to know

Update: New Android Nougat features are coming to more phones with the launch of Android 7.1 and the Android 7.1.1 update. 

Samsung's Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge Nougat update was scheduled to begin on January 17, but it now seems the rollout was stopped because of bugs. 

The Nexus 6 is now getting the upgrade to Android 7.1.1 despite a slight delay. Honor has also confirmed it will update the Honor 8, a phone which only just missed Android 7 software when it came out, by the end of February 2017.

LG G5 is the latest with the software update, along with Moto Z and Moto Z Force and the budget-friendly Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus devices. We're also seeing Nougat starting to land on the Sony Xperia X and Xperia X Compact.

Lastly, good news for OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T owners, as the software is finally starting to roll out.

When does your phone get the Android Nougat update? Here's everything we know about the latest version of Android.

Android Nougat is Google's big refresh of its phone and tablet operating system – an OS that's been so thoroughly refined that the company is now more than halfway through the alphabet with names, at letter 14 of 26.

It won't stop at Android 7.0, either. Android 7.1 launched on Nexus devices in October and Android 7.1.1 came to Google phones and tablets on December 5, while a possible Android O is now being discussed ahead of 2017.

To prepare you for the Nougat updates, here's everything we know about the new Android 7.0 and Android 7.1 Nougat release date and features. 

Xiaomi Mi 6 set to come in three versions with two different chipsets

The top of the line model will also feature a dual-edge curved display, circa the Galaxy S7 Edge . 

All three models will be powered by a 3,000mAh battery and will come with USB C for charging and data transfer. 

On the imaging front, reports indicate that the device will come with a 16MP camera at the rear with 4K recording support and a 4MP sensor at the front for selfies. Some rumours also point to the the Mi 6 coming with a dual-camera setup at the rear. 

The Mi 6 is set to come with a metal back, a physical home button with an embedded physical home button and a dual-tone design. Software wise, the smartphone will run on the latest version of MIUI which be based on Android 7.0 Nougat. 

The middle and top variants with the Snapdragon 835 SoC are set to be called the Xiaomi Mi 6 and the Xiaomi Mi 6 Pro. The nomenclature of the low-end variant is unknown at the moment.
