Infinix recently released Nougat (Android 7) update to their Note 3 and Note 3 Pro devices. If you haven't received this update yet but wish to update your device, then see the guide below

What should I know before upgrading my Infinix X601 (Note 3 and Note 3 Pro) to Nougat (Android 7)?

• It is very important you flash firmware ONLY for your build. Flashing a firmware for a different build to your phone might cause it to go totally dead.
  
• It is also important that you know your phone’s build number. To get this info, Navigate to Settings > About > Build number. 
  Yours should be 
  Note 3: H536 A1  
  Note 3 Pro: H537 A1
