ZTE Axon 7 Is Being Updated To Android 7.1.1 Nougat

ZTE had rolled out the Nougat 7.0 update for the Axon 7 last month, which had made Axon 7 the cheapest Daydream-ready device priced at $400. ZTE is now updating the Axon 7 to Android's latest iteration of Nougat 7.1.1.

ZTE announced about the update rollout in a blog post. The changes introduced in this update are listed as follows:

• T-Mobile Wi-Fi Calling support – T-Mobile Axon 7 users will now be able to send and receive both calls and text messages over Wi-Fi. Don’t have service in a certain area? Don’t miss a beat by connecting to a wireless network to continue talking and texting.

• More ways to communicate – With 7.1.1, Google made all its emojis gender-equal, representing a wider range of professions for both men and women – so now you can be the astronaut you always wanted. Plus, you gain the ability to send gifs directly from your keyboard on supported apps. Go ahead, express yourself!

• Daydream update & optimization – One of our favorite 2017 announcements was that the Axon 7 was finally Daydream-ready! With Android 7.1.1, we’re making your virtual reality even better by updating and optimizing your experience.

• Google security patches updates through Feb 2017 – Speaking of security, Google fixed all of its known vulnerabilities with 7.1.1. Sound boring? You may be right, but these patches are critical in keeping your information even more safe while sending emails, browsing the website, texting, or processing media files.

Since the OTA update is being rolled out in batches, it might take some time to reach your device. You will thus have to wait for the update to be made available for your device.
