World's first Tango phone Lenovo Phab 2 Pro will not get Nougat

Lenovo and Google last year released Phab 2 Pro as the world's first Tango smartphone. It shipped with Android Marshmallow, and sadly it won't get an upgrade to Nougat. This was confirmed by Lenovo's update tracker page that lists devices that are expected get new update.

Not only Phab 2 Pro, but the entire Phab series have also been excluded from the update list, including Phab Plus, Phab2 and Phab2 Plus. While Lenovo is doing a bad job handling Nougat update, its subsidiary Motorola has pushed the update to all phones it released within the past two years.

That said, Lenovo has upgraded a few phones which have received positive response from customers like the Vibe K6, K6 Note, K6 Power, Vibe P2 amd Z2 Plus.

Going forward, the company has promised to push regular updates to its future devices, as it has ditched the Vibe Pure UI in favor of stock Android. It also confirmed that the freshly launched K8 Note will get Android O in the near future.
