Last month Samsung rolled out its ‘Galaxy Beta Program’ for its Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge users to test the latest Android 7.0 Nougat on their handsets. Having said that, the company recently said responding to a user’s query that will skip the Android 7.0 Nougat roll out for their smartphones all in all and go directly to the Android 7.1.1 Nougat.    The Android 7.1.1 Nougat comes with new emojis that symbolises gender equality, support for GIF images right from the keyboard, and app shortcuts directly from the home screen. Users will be able to get access to actions considering the app just by long-pressing the icon.

This is a relatively minor 0.1 percent improvement from the data which was shared by a popular search giant a month ago.
