Infinix Note 3 Android 7.0 Nougat update starts rolling out

At the beginning of this month, Infinix Mobility released a list of its smartphones getting Android 7.0 Nougat update between April and July, and now the Nougat update for one of its most popular smartphones of 2016, the Infinix Note 3 has started rolling out.

The Infinix Note 3 and Note 3 Pro had earlier received a beta version of the update early in March which served to test the stability of the new OS version on Infinix smartphones.
