S7 Edge (SM-G935F) OTA Updates

I bought my s7 edge from Saudi Arabia (UAE (XSG) made) while on holidays . I'm currently in june 1 security patch.
I'm staying in India now. I would like to know whether I'll be receiving OTA updates?
Please help me out with the query.
P.S I didn't root my phone, neither did I flash any other rom.

If your phone is still on original firmware (not flashed another one with Odin etc), then you'll receive OTA when available for CSC XSG

Thanks for the reply and Yeah! it's on original firmware. No changes made with root etc. But now when I look in Sammobile there has been a july security update (4th Jul OTA) for XSG S7 edge. But I haven't received it yet
Will you please help me figure this out?

Yep. Install this APP and it will show ya what CSC (country code) your device is using. I think you are wrong thinking that your device is XSG. (The CSC is not always equal to the country where you purchased the phone).

Cut-pasted the same reply but with quote down below. Please check

I have this app in phone. Mine is multi CSC. And the active one is XSG.
I would like to share with you the Phone INFO App screenshot, but I don't have permissions yet. So, here are the details shown:
Product Code: SM-G935FZSAXSG
Original CSC Code: < blank >
Firmware's CSC Code: XSG
Active CSC Code: XSG
Available CSC Codes : < 29 of them are present >
CSC Country: UAE/AE
Also,
Root Existence: No
Knox Warranty Void: 0x0
UPDATE: ah! I just connected my phone with smart switch. Its saying an update is available. Size: 2116 MB.
Now I'm seriosuly concerned why I'm not receiving OTA.

Yes you can flash, you are on 935F International model, so yes. You don't need to root to flash via ODIN. Generally speaking region based ROM's are more optimized for language, LTE bands, but the rest of the release notes are more or less the same across regions.

Thanks my friend. Any benefits from this firmware, or its mostly the same? what are the differences?

Anyone can chim in?

i know i'm late but i wanna chime in cuz noone else has. If the model's the same, you can flash any of it & it will work just fine, data/calls etc no problems. The only things is that you'll get the latest security patches from Google if you flash it. Oh, using Odin to flash stock firmware will never trip the Knox counter and it is almost impossible to mess it up totally. I mean at worst, you did it wrong and it fails, or you have to flash it again.
Also getting a newer firmware can give you bug fixes & newer features too sometimes. Choosing your region/countries CSC might help for Languages for the keyboard etc, but not really needed, just as long as you flash International sm-G935F with another sm-g935F. hope this helps

Yes i can so samsung isnt rolling up the update to dbt phones because nougat has still Problems ( a Vodafone employe toll me that) and basically all the releasing nougat Software Updates are still betas with Bugs. They only do Release carrier Software because samsung hasn't do bother recalls on the s7 and edge Sold by the carrier. We will get the update when it's polished and Bug free. They also State in many Forums that the nougat update especially on Vodafone Germany makes very much Problems. They have to exchange 4 to 6 Devices per Day and the new ones you get from Vodafone Germany are coming with marshmallow preinstalled
Thats what i Got from the Vodafone work er. Dont know If it's fully Truth but it seems truth

Meanwhile the update is available through OTA as well as for download, however, only with security patch of January 2017. The build date is January, 30th thus released without further "polishing" as mentioned before.

DBT Nougat on Samfirm-Sammobile online.

[Q] Official Android 8.1 on SM-T580?

I'm just wondering if anyone has any intel on the status from Samsung on this update?
As I understand it, this tablet came with 6.x, went to 7.0, and supposedly will get 8.1. I sincerely doubt that Samsung would give a 3rd major update to Android 9.x.
I bought this very recently with 7.0 out of the box, f/w (build) is NRD90M.T580UEU2BQL1, Security patch level is Dec 1, 2017.

We won't get Pie, that's guaranteed
I think we will get Oreo but I'm guessing 8.0 not 8.1, when we get Oreo is completely up in the air. I heard Q3 of 2018 but I don't see any updates
Also why is your security patch so behind? I'm on June 2018
Build NRD90M.T580XXU3BRF1

That's a very good question. I bought this a few weeks ago at the local military base exchange. I checked after I got home to see if there were any updates - firmware and OS but nothing. My build number is: NRD90M.T580UEU2BQL1. I see people posting about BRL1 firmware and assuming they are following an alphabetical scheme - R comes after Q.

I'm on the same security patch, 12/1/2017.

I am on security patch October 2018, on my Galaxy Tab A 10.1 from 2016, buildnr. NRD90M.T580XXS4BRI1
Today South Korea and UAE got the Oreo 8.1 update on the 2016 model, so it seems they will now roll in for all countries soon the 2016 with Pen S model already got the update in South America if I am right. The 2017 model probably also get the update rolled out around these days.

While I might be wrong, I believe Oreo 8.1 is still only available for Spen version (SM-P580/585) in Korea and UAE

Nope, Oreo 8.1 with nov security patch is out for SM-T580 in South Korea and UAE since some days. I can't give any links as I don't have 10 posts yet, but google:
'Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2016) Oreo update now available
The Galaxy Tab A 10.1 update follows the Galaxy Tab 2 Active Oreo update, which also included the November patch. The Wi-Fi and LTE variants of the Tab A are being updated to Oreo in South Korea and the UAE respectively. Only the UAE update includes the November patch, but you can expect all of the Oreo features to be the same across both variants.'

T585 got updated as well

I updated via OTA last night. I confirm the version and the security patch, I have the SM-T580 DBT code. Everything seems to work fine and there has been no loss of user data in the update.
