If you have a Samsung Galaxy S6 or a Galaxy S6 Edge in your possession, you're in luck: next week (as of April 17) you can update it to Android 7 Nougat. Once their top of the range have been updated, it will be the turn of the S6 and S6 Edge, terminals whose specifications, to this day, continue to satisfy the majority of regular users.
S6 and S6 Edge upgrade to Nougat
This means that users of the S6 and S6 Edge will be able to enjoy, next week, features such as:
Multi-screen shortcuts: now, in Google apps like YouTube or Maps, if you press and hold the icon on the home screen, various options will appear that will serve as shortcuts. For example, in Maps there will be an option for 'Home' and another for 'Work'. On YouTube, one of 'Trends' and 'Subscriptions'.
Night mode: now you can apply a yellowish filter so that, at night, the annoying blue filter typical of these screens does not bother you.
Multiscreen: like Windows, you can divide the screen in two and send a WhatsApp, or publish a post on Facebook, while watching a video on YouTube.
Direct response in notifications: you can respond directly to a WhatsApp without having to enter the application.
Tips when upgrading to Nougat
- Make sure you have enough space on your mobile so you can update correctly
- Always update with a full battery: if your mobile turns off in the middle of an update, your mobile may be completely unusable.
- Better if you are connected to WiFi: these updates are usually quite heavy and if you think of downloading them with data, you can end up with a nice phone bill.
- Once you have updated, it is advisable to do a factory reset: make a backup copy of everything you have on your mobile.
