ZTE Axon 7 getting Android 7 (Nougat)


The ZTE lineup really is lighting up.  Their latest flagship is the Axon 7, which both Tom and I liked.

One of the things I wasn't so much a fan of for the ZTE items was the history of updates.  However, the 7 did get a nice OTA, and now it's getting another 7... Android 7.
