Just a quick heads up, that installing Nougat as explained above, will trip your Gear VR headset. Meaning it will not work until Oculus and Samsung issue updates to solve this.

Haven't tried it - but saw it went up on sammobile the other day, very tempting to flash to XSA from BTU, but BTU seems to get updates faster.

the difference between nerds & geeks is that geeks get it done!

XSA used to get updates faster than BTU (when on MM) but BTU was the testing ground for Nougat so it's currently the better one to be on. Saying that I'll be heading back to XSA soon (doubt there's much difference to be honest). I'm still on XEU which seems to be neglected with OTA's - though since the BTU csc has XEU, you can flash new firmware without losing data by using the home_CSC that comes with the new package...

Flat S7 update has been on Sammobile since the 20th. Don't follow the edge updates but I'm sure its the same. https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G930F/VAU/

Updated yesterday as thought take a while to get via vodafone, s7 edge to nougat using xsa firmware on odin found very good and get all the features had on note 7 back and looks very good .Then check this morning and see all nz telcos have nougat available.

So now have to flash firmware again still happy as nougat seems lot better.

My Spark sourced S7E showed the update about 10am this morning. All updated and going well. UI improvements are good tweaks. No issues with any apps failing to run either. So far so good.
