I missed the nougat train
Well, apparently Samsung started to roll out the official Nougat OTA. Just sit tight, because it will come soon.

I got my new x style but the weired thing is after installing 2 or 3 updates , it's still on android 6.0 but it has may 2016 security patch,
Isn't it supposed to be on 6.0.1 as may 2016 patch was released after 6.0.1??? Anyway to get 6.0.1 without rooting...???
Here's a screenshot
Plug your phone in.
No, 6.0.1 will likely never come to the handset as an official release. There is speculation they aren't wasting their time on 6.0.1 and working on a 7 release for your phone, but that is rumor and hearsay.

Official Android 7.0 won't come until after they test the beta for a month or so...the update you got was a monthly security update PI3. Anything after the PH1 update (update prior to PI3), you won't be able to flash the beta (either via official method or using ODIN unofficially). It'll error. I would be shocked if official Android 7.0 would come before year's end, however, anything's possible I suppose...
Are the updates starting to roll out officially? And when does L21 is getting the update?
No one knows
The unofficial rumors says at the beginning of February. Maybe the Asian part will have the OTA update soon.
So far, everything works as it should so I'll label the update as "Mostly Harmless."
The bad news is this may push the next update, maybe Oreo(?) to the middle of August if Verizon holds to the current schedule of updating every 2 months.
Anyone tested this release to be sure you can downgrade still if needed? No anti rollback implemented?
I'm not really sure if this is normal or not, but my phone seems to be still on the Oreo BETA and had not received any updates since then. I checked the Oreo BETA thread and there was a person that had already Oreo with June security update, while mine is still on the April security update. I wanted to know if I have to roll back to the official rom manually or, once the official Oreo is released (or is it already released?), does my phone automatically receive the official Oreo update even if I'm still on the BETA?
Hey, I am quite certain that the phone will get the official OTA to Oreo once it's available for your device.
Best way to make sure is to plug it into the PC from time to time and check what HiSuite says regarding the update.
I'm in the same situation.
I wouldn't bother downgrading yet.
