With all major U.S. airlines banning the Samsung Galaxy Note7 and Watch The Masseuse Fired into The Wifes Hole Onlinemany global airlines following suit, Samsung fans really need some good news, and thankfully there is some.
Samsung has pushed out an over-the-air (OTA) update that brings some of the Note7's features to the S7 and S7 Edge.

Some of the AOD features include notification support for Samsung apps like Notes, customizable clocks, music information and the ability to display photos on the lock screen.
Samsung's also tweaked the AOD for lower power consumption; it now sucks up less than 1 percent of battery life per hour.
It's unclear if Samsung will be rolling the update for S7 and S7 Edge users in all regions. Mashabledidn't receive the new update for its S7 Edge at the time of publishing. We've reached out to Samsung for comment.
While it's no full consolation for the Note7's demise — notable features like the cool GIF maker and S Pen features are missing — it's better than nothing and gives the seven-month old phones some refreshing new features.
Samsung's also rumored to be livening up the S7 and S7 Edge with the new Blue Coral color that was exclusive to the Note7 according to leaked images:

With no new flagship phones expected until early next year, new software updates that provide new features and additional colors for the S7 and S7 Edge are the only two moves Samsung has right now to keep its mobile boat afloat at the premium end.
