The long wait for Android 7.0 Nougat update is over. It has already been released for designated Google Nexus devices. However, the update will be available for Sony Xperia X and Z Series smartphones very soon.
According to Mojandroid, the Android N update strategy document from Sony Slovakia has newly leaked that the Android Nougat update for the Sony Xperia XZ and Xperia X was set to receive on the later part of October. On the other hand, the Sony Xperia X and X Compact will be getting the new update this November. And finally, the Sony Xperia Z5 series including Xperia Z5 Premium, Xperia Z5 Compact, and Xperia Z5 are supposed to get it in December.
