Samsung Turkey vice president shared an image on Twitter regarding details on updates, I can't share outside links because I have less than 10 posts but I'll explain to you what he wrote;

So to translate, only post S7 models will get AOD because, after conducting severel tests, S6 and Note 5 are deemed not to be doing well in terms of battery performance. He says S7 has a chip on motherboard specially designed for handling AOD tasks which S6 and Note 5 lack, and because of that putting AOD on these models would drain so much battery that end users would feel dissatisfied. AOD won't be optional either. Also he says that tests for S5 and Note 4 for Nougat were underway but ultimately cancelled because of below-expected performance issues on both devices. Lastly, S6 and S6 egde are reported to get nougat 24 February, 10 days from now, Note 5 on 6th of March and S6 Edge+ on 13 March. Other dates are on the graph. Feel free to ask for any translation, I'll be glad to help.

Of course these dates are for Turkey only, but once they're available in Turkey and the firmwares surface on the web you can most probably flash them onto your devices as well.
[Galaxy S6 General] mousiope:
why is the vp of turkey sharing this ? o_O
[Galaxy S6 General] mildj84ns:
Thank you for useful info. :)
[Galaxy S6 General] shaq1907:
Cos he got sick of messages of Turkish users:laugh: I like a lot his transparency abaout update policy. Samsung doesn't tell this info to us, at least Turkish users know it now.
[Galaxy S6 General] queen23:
It's not the VP of Turkey. It's the VP of Samsung Electronics Turkey. :D :D
[Galaxy S6 General] sagarabhiwant:
:):good:
[Galaxy S6 General] black187:
Hopefully the battery life will be better with Nougat - probably not, but one can hope.
[Galaxy S6 General] Neo Cortex:
Some people think that government is controlled by big business. Maybe his statement was true? #illuminati ?
[Galaxy S6 General] khanvict90:
hope also the battery will be good and things that a expect are change display resolution, grace ux, blue light filter, mix themes like galaxy s7 can do , put apps in sleep on home screen, icon borders — squircles (or "square circles"), new camera interface.

Galaxy S6 Android 7.0 Nougat

Samsung Galaxy S6 smartphone owners have been waiting a long time for the Android 7.0 Nougat update to continue testing and the last stage of the test, indicating that Samsung officials have begun to begin the final check to begin the distribution has given the good news!

The Android 7.0 Nougat update for the Samsung Galaxy S6 will be available at the end of Week 3 of February.
[Galaxy S6 General] AndroZoom:
The bad thing is that Galaxy s6 is getting nougat even though not all galaxy s7 regions have gotten the nougat :(
[Galaxy S6 General] crixley:
The update for s7 supposedly brought down battery life by 10%
[Galaxy S6 General] adisan2002:
Maybe because of AOD...
[Galaxy S6 General] crixley:
They already had AOD...
[Galaxy S6 General] iDroid27210:
WARNING ! The battery drop on S7 is ONLY on Snapdragon-based devices !! (America), other versions (> Exynos-based) have got a better battery life.
[Galaxy S6 General] halloo7:
And the S6 devices are all powered by an Exynos processor. So we won't have a big battery drop
[Galaxy S6 General] crixley:
Where did you read that? I haven't read that
[Galaxy S6 General] iDroid27210:
I didn't read an article.

In fact, yes. There was graphs that telling S7 has got battery drop.

But a lot of French S7 users got a better battery, so.
[Galaxy S6 General] crixley:
soooo.. you're speculating.
[Galaxy S6 General] iDroid27210:
No, it's true.

I loved how PhoneArena did their tests, only on Snapdragon devices.

There's a lot of feedbacks of Europeans models that tell the battery life has been upgraded.
[Galaxy S6 General] crixley:
Actually reports say the opposite

"GSMarena also shows that this is for the Exynos version of the S7 and not the US/820 versions.

How many people in the USA have the Exynos model? maybe .5%? if that?

Come on PA. Why not mention the facts.

FACT - THIS BATTERY ISSUE IS WITH THE E8800 model which is the Exynos/Intertnational variant of the S7's. There have been no reports as of yet of this being an issue with the SnapDragon variant of the S7."

"We've also promptly retested battery life since the update is a relatively major change. All tests were performed on the international Exynos 8890 version.

We observed a significant drop in Wi-Fi browsing longevity, to the tune of 3 full hours. The new result on Nougat (again, on the Exynos version of the handset) is close to what the Snapdragon 820 version could achieve on Marshmallow. Still, what was a truly excellent web browsing endurance before, is now just a ‘good score’ after the update."

Samsung officially responded to this. According to the information provided, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy S5 will unfortunately not receive the Android Nougat update. It should be noted here that Samsung has made a special campaign for the S5 and Note 4 owners to pass on to the next generation of devices, while the tests show that their performance for Nougat is inadequate.

According to Samsung official information, the Galaxy E series and the Galaxy Alpha, the forerunner of the A series, will also not receive the Android Nougat update.
[Galaxy S6 General] Mercz23:
a3 2016 will get it before a3 2017 **** logic
[Galaxy S6 General] ikkeeuu:
Actually it is logical. They had more time to develop nougat for the a3 2016.
[Galaxy S6 General] arovik:
Ok? how does that make sense? Ax (2017) models should be release with Nougat.
[Galaxy S6 General] ikkeeuu:
So in that case, the a3 2017 should have got nougat before the s7? Thats what you find logical?
[Galaxy S6 General] arovik:
of course. its a new phone. New phones should be release with whatever version of the OS is the newest...
[Galaxy S6 General] ikkeeuu:
Well then people would be mad at samsung that the flagship didn't receive nougat first :silly:.
[Galaxy S6 General] arovik:
Do you find it logic if a computer manufacturer releases a computer with windows 8 after windows 10 have been released?
[Galaxy S6 General] ikkeeuu:
Windows is not like android. There is one windows 10 version that runs on all pc's. You can't say that about android. You have nougat, then you have the manufacturer's view on nougat (like LG or Samsung), then you have the telecom companies view on nougat (like T-mobile). It's far more complicated on androids side. So that is not a good example to be honest. This is just how android is. I dont like it either.

Ios has a much better update policy, but that is not possible on android i think, because of the countless phones that run on android.
[Galaxy S6 General] halloo7:
Some people are saying that Galaxy A5 (2015) will get Nougat too. If this happens, Samsung would have released 3 big updates for that phone... maybe they're changing their update polity now. It would be great if S6 would get 3 ; instaed of 2 big updates too

---------- Post added at 12:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 PM ----------

I mean I know S6 is going to get Nougat - I mean it would be great if S6 would get the next version of Android too
[Galaxy S6 General] blairo_1226:
I don't get your point, pc build are made from a bunch of random parts put together. They get supported by Microsoft all the way. Phone builders should get, like pc, some rules of compatibility (ATX like) ine the hardware vs libraries they use..
[Galaxy S6 General] sofir786:
It's because windows architecture is completly different to android, you can't really apply one thing from one os to another, things will not work.
[Galaxy S6 General] :
Source?
[Galaxy S6 General] sorinm:
Iphone models have infinite smaller hardware diversity than android phones and for this is easier to have timely updates.

Where Samsung is doing it wrong is in the operators/providers versions. They should not bow to the pressure and just do only one model/one update. The average end user is not using Odin to flash the last country/version released. You can be delayed even 6 months just because your operator is not providing you the latest release or not getting it at all.
[Galaxy S6 General] ikkeeuu:
Yes, that would be nice! However smartphone manufacterers are not going to want it. The thing that stands out are the hardware AND software. If all manufacturers have the same software, the only thing that would stand out is hardware. All functions throughout all devices would be the same. Some lower powered devices wouldn't run well with some features, so the user wouldn't be happy. And also, why would people buy the flagships if they can have all features on a lower priced device? Reality is far more complicated.
[Galaxy S6 General] blairo_1226:
I learned pc architecture and I'm aware of the complexity of compatibility of all hardwares in devices. You said it, hardware will be the only differentiator between builders, but that's not what they're supposed to do, make competitions between them to take the big market? I wish a world full of barbones self build phone to install the packages I need and that's it.

In other subject, "Android is another world, u can't compare to pc", I said " Do you know on what Android in based to be an OS?" Linux! My friend, Linux is based on Unix and it is fully related to a server based big system. Everything is possible, everything can be achieved and improved. You don't have to defend big capitalist cies that only road map on profits.
[Galaxy S6 General] ikkeeuu:
I don't defend them, I'm thinking as if I am the head of one ;). Also, your ideas are awesome, but not sustainable. Project ara is an example of modularity on the level of hardware. And this project has been suspended by google. I think modularity on the level of software would have the same fate unfortunatly.
[Galaxy S6 General] blairo_1226:
Let me dream fellow realist :)

Off topic : ON. I want to share you something, my old s2 on cyanogen mod 13. I will keep this phone until the car passed away. The proof than an old flagship doesn't worth to be throw in the trashes ;) have a nice day, regards.
[Galaxy S6 General] ikkeeuu:
I like that placement alot!! :D Bringing me on ideas.

Thanks for the healthy discussion. Almost all the time the person is discussing to be right. This time, it was a nice exchange of ideas. Thanks :)

Lets now see how much time do samsung nees to update s6 to 7.0 my prediction is december :)
[Galaxy S6 General] Mercz23:
Same i think december.
[Galaxy S6 General] imparator:
I puke on those lists so called lists. How old is s6, I mean release date. Come on!!!!
[Galaxy S6 General] sofir786:
Samsung go through a 2 year support cycle for flagships in terms of updates and the handset was released March/April 2015, so having the nougat update would be part of that support cycle. I very doubt it will get any further os updates.
[Galaxy S6 General] javitolopez69:
He is probably in korea first update .the same s6 in mm
[Galaxy S6 General] dsaklein:
Yesterday sammobile published that s6 will get a nougat update. So I am waiting.
[Galaxy S6 General] javitolopez69:
Yes wait .3 wekends
[Galaxy S6 General] hare89:
And probably last major update sadly...

Samsung kills s5 and n4 and next with 8.0/O its time for s6/n5 :(
[Galaxy S6 General] Dr.Pepper:
2years with big OS updates and 1 more year with security and optimization updates (official Samsung support)
[Galaxy S6 General] diegoweb:
Why are you guys sad?

We have great devs here and they are always bringing us awesome OS's.

Also we have CyanogenMod with big updates and some OS ports.

The good thing about Flagships is that a lot of people buy (this includes many developers) and this make the device last a long time updated.

Even my old fellow Galaxy S2 has access to Android 6, and that's awesome :D
[Galaxy S6 General] hare89:
Nobody is sad but my opinion is that samsung should change their policy for maybe 3 years ...s6 is still really solid device even when compared this year flagships...
[Galaxy S6 General] XxM4tzexX:
If the phone has a qualcomm soc you can support it with cm a long time. But with the exynos you are very limited in options.
[Galaxy S6 General] diegoweb:
Why?

Devs unlocked bootloader.

There are many 3rd party roms available, samsung independent.

I mean... Even after 2 years after release date, at least 2 more years the devs probably will keep supporting this great device.

Also we have Rom Ports from lastest released devices.

Maybe s6 users will still have a port from Galaxy S8~9 or Note S8~9. Don't you think?
[Galaxy S6 General] Dr.Pepper:
porting stock roms isnt worthy

CM and such projects will keep support for long time if devs can make it.stable without sources (samsung will never realese exyson source code for public, thats why qualcomm is the best in development)
[Galaxy S6 General] diegoweb:
Oh! I see...

So it's a "processor" problem, not the device itself.

But for those not stock based rom, how do they keep developing good roms? If there is no source code available.
[Galaxy S6 General] Dr.Pepper:

I believe its TRC, TRO, TUR. Depends if its network locked or sim free
[Galaxy S6 General] khanvict90:
i got it man thanks i just looked at s7 edge version turkey :)

Model	SM-G935F

Model name	Galaxy S7 edge

Country	Turkey

Version	Android 7

Changelist	10422490

Build date	Thu, 02 Feb 2017 06:57:30 +0000

Security Patch Level	2017-02-01

Product code	TUR

PDA	G935FXXU1DQB7

CSC	G935FOJV1DQB7

So i think the best way to get nougat is just flash TUR for galaxy s6 and wait for OTA, but the problem is cant find it anywere and the model number for Turkey is G920FQ what will happen if we flash a G920FQ on G920F? does somebody have a link? to the latest Marsmallow Rom TUR?
[Galaxy S6 General] 0xPraeT0Rian:
BTU nothing. Hope we get it before turkey does
[Galaxy S6 General] utkan:
Probably nothing. I tried flashing another rom for my g920fq and country code changed but it still worked. It was just lacking some region spesific features like volte but other than that I encountered no problem whatsoever. You can find TUR mm on sammobile I think, flash it onto your phone you're very likely to get nougat this friday just like us :P
[Galaxy S6 General] khanvict90:
i could not find anything on sammobile and hope we get it friday cause im sick of waiting XD

Then you don't need to update your S6 to Nougat! Why are you wasting your time on this thread? From Lollipop through marshmallow journey of S6 provides better battery life and I am using Nougat on my S7 Edge and get much more improved performance and battery life...Don't talk about anything that you have not knowledge! Samsung is not bull**** that they will provide laggy Nougat!
[Galaxy S6 General] khanvict90:
ohh thanks, i'm turkish but this is not gonna work we are on MM and we cant go back to LP? and if we can go back is this rom gonna work on a G920F and the rom is from g920FQ? so the only chose is to wait for SAMMOBILE i guess :laugh:
[Galaxy S6 General] iDroid27210:
I don't understand them. I asked a lot of French owners of S7 (Exynos-version) and as you say they got a better battery life.

The PhoneArena article was bull****, or they don't said it was only Snapdragon-version (I think they got a worse battery life).
