Nexus Android Nougat Release: 5 Things to Know

Flash it Early

As always, Google will release factory images of the Android 7.0 Nougat release for developers and early adopters. Rather than wait for the over the air notification to arrive (which could be today, or take a week) users can head to the developer website and flash it today. We're not seeing the factory images yet, but once they are live we'll update with links to download, instructions to flash and more.
This is your best route, if you're up for the challenge.
