Nougat will begin rolling out to the Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 LTE 'in the coming weeks'
According to a statement given to Android Police, Google says the Android 7.0 Nougat rollout for the Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 LTE will begin in a few weeks, though at this time there isn’t an exact timetable as to when it will begin.
