I just ordered 1 from Amazon UK with a 2 year warranty. I don't think the big carriers want to get involved with this because of it's cost.

    The ability to be able to actually buy one in the UK would be nice ! (I've contacted ZTE about availability in the UK, they basically said they've no idea if it will ever be available).

      it would really help if they were actually willing to give developers access to the Nougat beta. they're relying on nothing more than input from random people and ignoring people with unlocked bootloaders and/or root.
      i'm going to go out on a limb here and say their stable release is going to suck for developers and/or rooted users. still, can't be as bad as samsung!

              When people told me last year that Axon7 was a better buy than OP3 because it was going to have Nougat soon etc i laughed. And then we come to see that ZTE is gonna delay even more the update...

                I have an ZTE Axon 7 and I am kind of disappointed because I bought the phone knowing there is a promise of Nougat by January. Better to have a stable and smooth release than a rushed one that has many bugs. Although it's understandable why they delayed it because of bugs and Google now forcing OEMs to implement a new requirement about the notification system.

                  Anonymous, 26 Jan 2017This device looks sooooooooooooo S8 LOLYou do realize that this device was released last year I March? So Samsung stole the S8 design from ZTE.

                  Actually the design itself comes from BMW in cooperation with ZTE.

                    Honestly, I'd rather use a Cyanogen-based Android 6.01 than a MiFavor-based 7.01.

                        And yet another company delays their Nougat update..... seems like the latest fashionable trend.

                              If only Microsoft could do quality checks before they release their OS, because the latest Windows 10 Mobile, anniversary update, is a total disaster on my Lumia 640 where Edge crash/restarts/reloads/freezes many times every MINUTE!

                                Lol at the anally retentive. Updates aren't a necessity. So your phone didn't get it yet and your neighbor's did. Go cry in a corner and grow up.

                                  Anonymous, 26 Jan 2017Yes, and iPhone 5 got the iOS 10 update long agoyes, and iOS is not Android. You cant compare iOs to Android as it is just diffrent ecosystem. What is wrong? if you compare iPhone by updates, compare it with pixel/nexus... as Google is working with these devices... You can't compare third party companies with Apple when it comes about updates.
