Surprise! Here's Android 7.0 Nougat for OnePlus 3

It's no secret that there's an Android 7.0 Nougat update on the way to the OnePlus 3, but the question is: when?

Of course it is already possible to get Nougat running on your OnePlus 3 if you're willing to install a custom Cyanogenmod 14 build. But what most people are interested in is the official release direct from OnePlus. Well, it's not only in the works, we have a video of it in action.

OnePlus has shared a brief video that shows that work on bringing Nougat to the OnePlus 3 is well under way and we are even treated to a quick glimpse of the latest version of Android running on the company's "flagship killer". A video posted on Twitter by OnePlus founder and CEO Pete Lau is a tantilizing tease of what to expect in the (hopefully) not-too-distant future.

We're still not really any closer to learning quite when the update will make an appearance -- and OnePlus is unlikely to commit until the release really is very imminent -- but it's good to see that things are in motion.
