Galaxy Note 5 for AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon receives Wi-Fi certification running Nougat

Last updated: February 17th, 2017 at 12:23 UTC+01:00

Now that Samsung has started rolling out Android 7.0 to the Galaxy S7 and the S7 edge, it's time for older devices to get the update. The Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 edge, and the Galaxy S6 edge+ are next in line to receive the Nougat update.

Variants of the Galaxy Note 5 for the US carriers AT&T (SM-N920A), Sprint (SM-N920P), and Verizon (SM-N920V) have received Wi-Fi certification running Android 7.0. This means that Samsung could release Nougat update to all these variants in a matter of weeks. However, additional testing may take time, and the rollout date might differ depending on the carrier.

Additionally, other variants of the Galaxy Note 5 – SM-N9200, SM-N9209 (China Telecom), SM-N920R4 (US Cellular), SM-N920R6 (Cellcom) and SM-N920R7 (C Spire) – have received a similar certification.
