The European variants of Galaxy S6 and Note 5 are poised to get the long-awaited Android 7.0 Nougat over-the-air (OTA) update starting next week in Turkey. The list of Galaxy phones along with their expected Nougat release window has been posted on Twitter by Tansu Yegen, the VP of Samsung Electronics Turkey.

The Nougat release schedule also indicates that the new update for Galaxy S6 Edge+ and S6 Edge has been pushed back to the fourth week of February. Meanwhile, the Galaxy A (2016) and Galaxy J phones are expected to receive Nougat updates sometime in May and June.

Although the list (below) is basically referring to handsets in Turkey, the mainland Europe is also expected to get the new Nougat update in the same time frame.

In related news, Android Authority reports that the Galaxy S6 user manual for Nougat update has already leaked online ahead of the upcoming OTA release. One glance at the leaked user manual suggests the Galaxy S6 will incorporate the majority of features from the S7 while only a handful will be exclusive for the latter.

Some of those exclusive features include the S7's camera modes such as Hyperlapse and Selfie Flash, Motion Panorama, Performance mode, Video Enhancer and the Always On Display.
