In response to a query from a member of the Galaxy Beta Program, Samsung has confirmed that the public release of Nougat will start with Android 7.1.1.
Android 7.1.1 is a minor update, it includes a new set of emoji, the ability to send GIFs directly from the keyboard in select apps and makes life easier by adding app shortcuts directly to the home screen. Users can launch actions on apps like Twitter and Google Maps by long pressing the app icon.
Samsung hasn't confirmed when it's going to publicly release Nougat for the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 edge at least, it's expected that the rollout will begin early next year.
Thanks, Henk!
