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 It’s version 7.0, which is a little outdated nowadays, but it is still a welcome upgrade.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.

To start, well-known leaker Evan Blass understands that the Z2 Force won’t be a Verizon exclusive like its predecessor. It’ll reportedly be available on T-Mobile as well, while Android Authority hears that Sprint has its own version. That’s a big relief if you’re tired of sticking to Big Red just to get the most advanced Moto phone in the US.

As for the design? You’ll still see a 5.5-inch display and the Z series’ signature modular back, but the new Force is reportedly thinner at just under 0.24 inches (versus 0.28in for the original) while borrowing some styling cues from the Moto G5. You’d also get a dual camera system like so many other high-end phones, and a Snapdragon 835 chip should keep things speedy. About the only mysteries are the Z2 Force’s release date and price. We’d expect the Z2 Force to carry a premium like its ancestor did, but whether or not it’s a compelling handset depends on when you can buy it — those specs won’t be so compelling if you have to wait until late in the year.
