Regarding the Galaxy Note 5 and the Galaxy S6/S6 Edge/S6 Edge Plus, we can absolutely say nothing at all.

For instance, Samsung just updates the Galaxy S5 Neo to Android Nougat today. This update is totally unexpected as it’s a variant of the Galaxy S5 which lasted on the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. So, we can only hope for the best for now.
