Samsung hasn't announced the list of devices eligible for Android 7.0 Nougat update, but several reports have claimed that Galaxy Note 5 would get the new firmware. It needs just a simple guess whether the device will get the OS as it is just over year old while Android support is provided for two years.

Now, Samsung Galaxy Note 5 has been spotted on GFXBench running Android 7.0 Nougat operating system. The South Korean technology giant hasn't confirmed if the device will receive the firmware, but it is likely to get.
