Samsung’s older flagship, Galaxy S7, S7 Edge, and Note 7 are the premium smartphones launched in 2016. These devices brought great hardware and software functionalities for the consumer, keeping aside the Note 7 battery malfunctioning.

Talking about the software, these devices were launched with Samsung’s proprietary TouchWiz software suite along with the Android 6. Later on, moved to Samsung Experience UI and received two major updates including the Android 7 and Android 8 Oreo.

Currently, these smartphones aren’t eligible for any major software updates and stuck with Android 8 Oreo. But there’s a way that could allow you to use the latest Android 10 based One UI 2.5 on your Galaxy S7, S7 Edge, or Note 7 (If it’s still safe).
