Verizon releases Android 7.0 Nougat for the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 edge

-

Ever since Samsung released Android 7.0 Nougat for the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 edge, all eyes have been on carriers in the United States to follow through. Carriers tend to hold up updates for a few weeks as they make their own tweaks and often add some bloatware. The firmware has since been released for other Samsung devices as well. Today, we have some good news for Verizon customers. Big Red has now released Android 7.0 Nougat for the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 edge.

It’s now rolling out software version G920VVRS4DQD1 and G925VVRS4DQD1 for the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 edge respectively. They’re quite chunky because of the simple fact that they are major Android version updates that bump up the core OS to Nougat, the latest iteration of Android from Google.

If you’re unclear about What’s New with Nougat, the latest update brings a handful of new features such as a blue light filter, the ability to adjust screen resolution, simpler device maintenance, Video Enhancer and a plethora of user interface tweaks and improvements.

Verizon subscribers who own a Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 edge will get all of this and more as part and parcel of the Nougat update that the carrier has now started rolling out. Check out the video posted below to see what Nougat looks like on the Galaxy S6.

Upcoming Google Play Store update may allow users to pause subscriptions

-
Image
The subscription model is becoming increasingly popular for mobile and desktop apps and services, but it could cause inconveniences for users, especially when one has to juggle between and keep track of numerous subscription plans. This is why, in an upcoming Play Store update, Google plans to introduce a feature that lets users temporarily suspend subscriptions when needed, instead of outright having to cancel them.
Evidence of this was discovered by the folks over at Android Police when they dug through the code of a recent Google Play Store update. Although it's currently ...

UK-based Wileyfox enters administration to restructure its debt

...United Kingdom-based phone manufacturer Wileyfox entered the Android smartphone scene in 2015, when it released the Storm and Switft phones. The low-end Spark was released later, in mid-2016. They were budget phones running the short-lived Cyanogen OS, and when Cyanogen collapsed, the company started developing its own ROM.A community manager at Wileyfox has revealed on Reddit that Wileyfox is undergoing administration. For those of you not familiar with it, administration is a process in the UK where a company gives full control of itself to a person (or small group of people), in order to pay off debts to creditors. The person writing the Reddit post said he had been laid off as a result of the administration process.It's not clear at this time if Wileyfox is permanently shutting down. If the administrators can pay off the company's debts or find a buyer, then Wileyfox could return at some point. The UK Companies House listing for Wileyfox still shows the company as activ…
