Android O is around the corner, yet according to official statistics, Nougat is still installed on less than 5% of devices. We have good news for the owners of the T-Mobile Galaxy Note 5, though:
T-Mobile confirmed that the Nougat update will be available to flash next week. News of the confirmation have been delivered by T-Mobile’s “Gadget Guy” Des. According to the tweet, the rollout is scheduled for early next week. It’s version 7.0, which is a little outdated nowadays, but it is still a welcome upgrade.

The Galaxy Note5 is still technically the latest S-Pen device currently offered by the Korean OEM. Its successor, the Galaxy Note 7, was discontinued shortly after its premiere due to battery volatility.
This update for the Note5 is a good news both for users and developers working on custom ROMs for this device. A new version of Android means that users should see more TouchWiz Nougat ROMs in the near future.
