After the complete stop of sales of the Galaxy Note 7, Samsung has started a new procedure for the exchange offering customers a Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge, with a refund of the difference. Customers who accept are then left with a smartphone that was released almost 6 month that does not have the latest software of the interface of the Galaxy Note 7.

Improvement of Always-On Display

The Korean giant is aware of this, it seems, and will bring several of these functions on the Galaxy S7. Several users on XDA and Anandtech say they have received a software update on their smartphones adding functions inherited from the Galaxy Note 7.

For the moment it is primarily the feature Always-On Display that is affected by the update. As a reminder, this feature allows you to take advantage of the AMOLED screen to display information on the idle screen without consuming too much battery.

This update includes more customization options, such as the ability to choose any image as the background for the clock. On the other hand it also seems to bring bugs, such as the absence of certain notifications, the email application of Samsung for example.

A glimpse before the arrival of Grace UX

This update should only serve as an appetizer before the arrival full Android 7.0 Nougat on the Galaxy S7, expected in the coming months. This update should bring the interface Grace OWS that we had discovered on the Galaxy Note 7, Galaxy S7.
