According to various reports on Twitter and elsewhere, T-Mobile this evening has stared rolling out  Android 7.0 Nougat  to its Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge models.

Samsung's upcoming  Galaxy S8  is  shaping up to be  one helluva flagship Android smartphone.  Though we already  got a glimpse  of what the S8 will supposedly look like last month, newly leaked photos give us a closer look at the front glass panels -- and depending on your taste, it's either going to be the hottest phone ever created or the ugliest.

In fact, aside from a few differences in port and button placement, the A5 is the spitting image of its more expensive sibling. (In fact, it one-ups the GS7 in one small but notable area, shipping with a more up-to-date USB-C port.) So the external hardware matches the quality we've come to expect from Samsung's flagships, with a subtle curve to the back panel, and clean
