Samsung Galaxy, LG and HTC phones may start getting the upcoming operating system Android N by the end of 2016. It may eventually reach all the devices by May 2017.
Currently, Samsung is still in the process of rolling out the Android Marshmallow update to all its devices under the Galaxy series. Hence, numerous Samsung Galaxy devices are on the track to get Android N around two-three months after its release.
HTC was quick to release the Android Marshmallow update for its users. Hence, the HTC phones are expected to get Android N immediately upon its release. It is also rumored that by the end of 2017, all the compatible HTC devices may be running on Android N.
Similarly, LG has also been very quick to update its flagship devices to the latest operating systems, in the past. Hence, it is expected that this trend will continue and all the recently-released LG flagship devices will get Android N soon, when it is officially launched.
On the other hand, other LG devices such as LG V10 and LG G4 may get the Android N update by February 2017. LG G3 is not expected to be updated to Android N at all.
Meanwhile, Sony Xperia Z3 users have already received the Android N developer preview version of the update, according to GSM Arena. It is the only non-Nexus device, which has got the update.
Likewise, the developer preview version of Android N is expected to roll out to other flagship devices of LG, HTC and Samsung. However, Google has not confirmed the rollout schedule till date.
The first preview of the Android N developer version rolled out in March, followed by the beta version in April. The third preview version will release this month during the Google I/O Conference, which will be held from 18-20 May in California, according to Google Events.
The near-final build of Android N will rollout in July. After that, the final build of Android N is expected to release in either August or September.
