Samsung has finally started rolling out the Android 7.0 Nougat update to its Galaxy S5 Neo devices after weeks of waiting. The firmware update for the device comes more than a month after it was spotted at Wi-Fi Alliance with the new OS.

Galaxy S5 Neo devices in Canada have started receiving the Android 7.0 Nougat update, taking the firmware version to G903WVLU1CQH4, according SamMobile. It went on to say that the firmware would be rolled out to other markets soon. 

OTA (over-the-air) notification should come to the device when the software is rolled out in specific regions.
