There is no official announcement from Sony on why we don't have Nougat but I can say that XA and Ultra are fully able to receive Nougat. Cheap devices like the Blackview Bv6000 and the Elephone P9000 have official updates to Nougat

I dont think that the problem is with the hardware but with some specif8lc speq that doea not meet google requirments. One more issue that seems strange to me has to do with android auto which says that can not be installed as it does not meet the reuirments

We need to wait a little bit more for 7.1,because even the 7.0 was delayed 3 months....in end of July all XA devices will run android 7 and we will receive also some minor updates because this version launched few days ago have some minor bugs.So the last update will be 7.1 (around November)and will be the latest update for this device.Android 8 oreo expected release in December will not work on this device because of low internal memory.

I wasn't expecting Android O to come our devices since Sony releases 2 updates for mid-range phones and 4 for flagships (except Z3). I hope 7.1 comes quicker than 7.0. Btw. touch issue is still here. After turning stamina on and off touch becomes unresponsive. I have to touch home button like 6 times to go home. After a restart, everything is fine until I turn on stamina. Sounds like a kernel issue.
Animations are faster and some animations (like lock and unlock) are gone.
I gained approximately 1gb of storage which is really great. Phone feels a bit faster. I do wish Sony made ambient display available for this device.

turkey version have some mirror bugs like camera autofocus,stamina mode,wifi ,and sometimes after long time standby you need to restart your phone because the touch will have some delays...the most stable version of nougat is for Orange FR and Belgium ,but in few weeks turkey and greece wil recive the update patch to fix minor bugs,
