LG V 20 is the first Nougat phone? Wow.

No, it just means it has Android N. It will probably still be a heavily skinned version if it.
You can already see from the image on the Nougat page that this is not true, those huge on screen buttons... ugh!

The V20 being the first phone to ship with Android N out of the box is disappointing. Pretty much kills any hope that the new Nexus phones were going to come out early this year. The V20 probably will not come out until the middle or end of September and so the Nexus phones will probably be standard late September unveiling and then ship in October.

Megaton (at least if it means what I think it means)
I've been saying this since we started receiving the dumb useless monthly security patches. They are finally doing something about it. This is a much better way of handling updates then little 3mb updates each month that sometimes even BREAK shit on your phone.
Give us 1 update each quarter or something with all included security updates plus use the time to polish the fuckkkkk out of your OS. Without adding any new major features.
7.0.1 in Dec, 7.0.2 in March, 7.0.3 in June - something like that

I just got the notification on my 6p to upgrade to 7.0. Problem is, when i click Download it takes me to the System Update screen and nothing happens. It is just sitting on the blank update screen, the bar is moving like it is doing something but nothing pops up. I'm guessing I may have gotten it a bit too early or the server is getting slammed.
I was in the 7.0 beta also, which may be why I'm getting it so fast.

Just got mine as well. 49.5MB. Not expecting much to change, but nice to have a final release.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Now that Nougat is out maybe Google can kick the Nexus program into overdrive.

Hi, I'm nortonff. I spend my life going into threads to say that I don't care about the topic of the thread. It's a really good use of my time.

No mention of AOSP upload?
Also love the way DP updates hit pretty much right away...this is how it always should be Google.

Timely software updates should be the norm, not the exception, but alas.

It really should and it shows Google can do it
Also I see the update is for the Nexus 9 swell.....Wonder if it makes it usable <Anybody remember those posts xD

It seems like people that opted into the DP are getting the OTA first.
Haven't heard of anyone not in the DP getting the OTA yet.
Still waiting on those images to be uploaded...

Hmm... so just enrolled in Android Beta on my 5X and received the Nougat OTA. Downloaded and installed, but now the phone keeps freezing during the boot animation and restarting. Infinite boot loop, I guess is what it's called? Anyone know of a fix?
The OTA links posted on AndroidPolice ... least the Nexus 5X one is what you'd receive if you're updating from the latest August release of Marshmallow -> Nougat.
The only thing I suggest is ... if you want root, it's probably a good idea to flash using FlashFire with the OTA zip and SuperSU zip. I don't think TWRP has been updated to support Nougat yet.

Can you boot into recovery? If so, try wiping the cache partition and see if that pulls you out of the bootloop.
If not, you'll probably have to manually flash the factory image.
TWRP works fine on Nougat. At least it does in DP5.

Not really. Ask the early Windows 10 adopters how that went for them.
its still wrecking most of anandtech's benchmarks for non gpu stuff lol. Kirin 955 is a beast.
Why not wait for the Honor mate 8? Way cheaper with the same camera sensors (?) and a slightly slower processor.
no issues with windows 10! That anniversary update tho fucked my shit (took me a while to debug but it was due to having changed the windows store app location to a different drive... wtf).
