Android ar
Huawei tch: One of the best watches from last year has been languishing without Android ar 2.0 until it arrived this week. You get most of the cool Android ar 2.0 features, like the on-device ay Store, redesigned interface, swankier animations. You can check by going to Settings > About > System updates. Some were able to trigger the update by repeatedly tapping the green “System is up to date” screen. That trick didn’t work for me, so if you’re in the same situation you’ll just have to wait.
Samsung
Galaxy S7 ge: The unlocked edition of the S7 got Android Nougat a couple of weeks ago, now it’s your turn. Details are posted to a Samsung forum, which indicates you should be able to get the update with Samsung’s Smart Switch software.
