Nearly nine months ago, Google began rolling out Android 7.0 Nougat for its Nexus devices. Today, 7.0 is only installed on 6.6% of Google Play devices, with an additional 0.5% for the latest version of the OS, 7.1 Nougat, which is almost six months old.

One of the reasons that the usage share of 7.1 is so low is that OEMs are still rolling out 7.0 to devices, and today, Samsung is releasing 7.0 Nougat for the Galaxy A5 (2016). It's live in Russia, and the new firmware version is A510FXXU4CQDK.

With Android Nougat, you'll find a number of new features for your device. Notifications have been reworked with new features and a new design, and you'll be able to use split-screen multitasking.

To check for updates on your Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016), head over to Settings -> About device -> Software update.
