Nougat update for the Galaxy S6 delayed while Samsung reviews is quality

There’s been a lot of confusion recently surrounding the whereabouts of the Nougat update for the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge. However, Samsung’s subsidiary in the UK has now taken to its Twitter account to reveal that the upgrade has been delayed while the firm reviews the quality of the firmware.

Unfortunately, it remains unclear when the OTA will start making the rounds. The representative merely stated that it’ll be made available at the earliest opportunity. At least we know it’s still on the way, though — so Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge owners will need to have a little more patience.

Samsung Pay goes live in India, works with Paytm wallet too

After teasing the launch of Samsung Pay in India last month and then letting users sign up for an early access program last week, Samsung has launched its mobile payment service in India today. If you signed up for an early access program, you should now be able to set up your Samsung Pay account and start using it for payments.

The company has collaborated with Axis, HDFC, ICICI, SBI, and Standard Chartered banks (MasterCard and VISA debit and credit cards) for the service. Users can also add their Paytm wallet accounts in the Samsung Pay app. Samsung will soon start supporting cards from Citibank as well. There were rumors that Samsung would collaborate with American Express, but there’s still no sign of any such partnership.

Samsung Pay works with the Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge, Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 edge, Galaxy S6 edge+, Galaxy A5 (2016), and the Galaxy A7 (2016).

Thanks for the tip, Imamuddin!
