I own one of the ZTE Axon 7 pre-production/prototype phone. You can ask me anything, but I may choose not to answer your question if I think it is a sensitive question. I attached a few pictures below and the noticeable difference is this phone come with on-screen keys instead of capacitive keys.
To begin, I was one of the few ZTE Axon 7 Beta Tester back in April 2016 (I do not work for ZTE). I received this phone one-two months before they officially announce it in China on May 2016. I returned this phone to the company before I left the USA for my summer vacation in May. On October, this phone was given to me from one of the employees in ZTE upper-level management.
This phone is my daily driver and I love it! To clarify, the phone that I have is 2017U and have 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM.
How did you become a beta tester for ZTE?
Can you install an ordinary A7 firmware on this phone?
And which firmware version/build did you get initially?
Thanks.

The phone was running Android 6 when I first got it. It's just the same build as that you guys have. I was pretty worry when I was trying to upgrade to Android 7 during February since this phone is a little bit different because of the on screen key. However, I'm able to upgrade to the latest firmware like everyone has without issue. I do not root this phone due to the fact that Android has been getting to a point that I can do everything I want my installing app. When I started using Android 2.0, I had to root to get everything I want.
It started one day in BetaBound. I tested one of ZTE's low end devices. After that, I was contacted by them (targeted) to test a "premium device", which is A7. I don't do a lot testing. In 2016, I tested Axon 7 and Netgear Orbi (they contacted me like 9 months prior launch).
What about Axon 8? Have you tested this?

Nope. Don't have any clue about the next one yet.
Google's strong hand against defragmentation, manufacturers can only launch new phones with Android Oreo
Since you have to put the batteries, make Flyme for our Meizu Pro 5 or let install roms by opening the code. Flyme skip if they want Oreo (you have a few months left) and start with Android P
Hopefully someone can make a ROM for the Pro5, because if not nothing, darkness with Flyme. Change of mobile in a year or two (with 4 already well amortized) :fingers-crossed:
Google closed Nougat certification in March, all new Play Certified devices must launch with Oreo..clic here :good:
Android oreo will come to meizu in 2029 don't wait.
Go and buy another phone because Google kicked Meizu's ass i think.
Totally agree!!
Meizu Pro 5 with Flyme dies:
Flyme 5 .. Android 5.1
Flyme 6 ..
- Chinese version: January 2017 based on Marshmallow (Android 6.0)
-Global version July 2017 based on Lollipop (Android 5.1)
Flyme 7 .. based on Nougat (Android 7.1.2), are there a beta version now, I think (May 2018)
Flyme 8 .. based on Oreo, far far away
Flyme 9 .. based on P, I do not think we'll see him in this life!!
------
PD:
Nougat .. June 2016 (Meizu level now)
Oreo .. Agoust 2017
Android P .. Agoust 2018
-------
you wait seated or better don't wait!
I've been observing that Meizu decided to abandon Global market and concentrate on local Chinese market. And it is not that they are very up to date in the Chinese market. Also abandon Android rate
Chinese versions (A): Flyme 6.3.0.2A (Android 6) (2018-4-12)
It's not stable. Battery drain. Many chinese apps (they are easily deleted) and Google Play Store is a simulation. *The applications hang, the firmware is not friendly with google apps, "No suitable appstore found" in some apps. Stay on 6.1.0.0A if you can! but it's very old version based on Android 5.1. You have to returned to the old version of the firmware, becase this 6.3.0.2A can not be used.
International (global) versions (G): 6.1.0.0G (Android 5.1) but from Flyme 5.1.11.0G Google Mobile Services (GMS) was removed....
Resurrecction Remix with Android 7.1.2. very good, the best we have!! Thank you, Faust93!! Good job!!
Meizu oficial firmware (that running ok) is on Android 5.1.. It's very sad!! No?
Ahahahaha Flyme 8 on our PRO5 ?!
More probable to see the end of this world before this happens...
It is frustrating when you spend a lot of money on an Android mobile and you see that the "little time" becomes obsolete. In the next mobile that I bought I will look for a very good policy of updates both by the manufacturer and by the Xda community. Technology is like that, in two years any phone is already very old.
In our case we have three options: settle for what we have, resort to the only ROM if we do not have money or buy a new phone if we have it.
That your Android phone does not receive the latest updates both system and security yes, it is very bad. I am against all brands that do not.
The easiest thing is to buy a new one, but I'm going to try to extend the life of this phone a little longer, at the moment it's not bad with Nougat, to see if a ROM release or a new ROM with Oreo comes out. I do not expect anything new because it is old and almost nobody has it. While It's working, I'll continue with him. I also do not like the phones with Notch
I currently feel that the purchase of this mobile phone has not gone well, how I feel like changing it but I do not want to throw away the 400 euros that the Pro 5 cost in the trash.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!!!!!! How does it work?

Hi, I have a oppo reno 5g, and it seems that this device will never have coloros11.
The reno 5g is the same device of 10x zoom. (Only with a 5g chips, it's the only difference). Does anyone try to install rom of cph1919 into cph1921?
Could it be work?
Thanks
Maybe, but the ROM above isn't ColorOS 11, but 7.1 (Android 10)....

Yes, I know.. But in the future it will be the F.XX stable version that it will be available on the oppo website... I expect to try itnon my oppo reno 5g! Thanks!
Hey everyone, just to add a little extra spice to this boring dish, I recently contacted Oppo Australia for the umpteenth time about OTA update to Android 11 for my Optus 5G (CPH1921) and a few they gave me the very helpful response below:
I am sorry to know about what you are facing now and are here to solve your issues.
At moment, your OPPO 5G is unable to support/ compatible with Android 11 software.
The processing power and the storage in the phone causing the incompatibility issue in the phone.
I am sorry about this. You may still get security patches for the remainder life of the phone.
I saw red, called BS, said it was already rolled out in India and Indonesia and had been approved for roll out in Europe. I also threatened a call to the AU the ombudsman (wooo) and then got a fresh reply a day later:
Apologies for the inconvenience.
With regards to your concern, we would like to inform that software updates are released over-the-air (through Internet connection) and usually by batches - per device to device, country/region, and not all at the same time.
We have checked that as per the Android 11 Roll Out Plan the OPPO Reno 5G is not part of the update yet. Please kindly stay tuned for the next update.
So... everyone in Australia with this phone is now crystal clear then!?!?! Laughable

HAHHAA It's still unclear... Some people in oppo australia say that the OPPO reno 5g is eligible (I send my IMEI). Sone others always say the same as you.
I would prefer if they are clear and say to me NO the phone will never have Cos 11...
Oppo care say that they work on it...
I think this phone will stuck on Cos 7 with android 10! Boring!

Can someone share download link?
until now there is no ozip
Hopefully this means that us poor souls in Europe start getting the update soon and that we don't have to go through a beta period for our regional variant.
Exactly Because we did not have the right to test the beta version is I really cross the throat !!! This is the last realme device I will buy. Excluding all of Europe is really not smart and normal.

They do not even update anymore the official eu website. Only uk and in. On the official eu website there is still version c32 for download.
My query regarding a problem with plugins, which I have posted several times and sent several times by mail remained unanswered and unsolved till now.
I must assume they have no further interest in the European market.

OYes for the new device, but for the realme x2 pro which was supposedly their flagship device, they are now after all their "new" mid-range. What to be disgusted with realme !!! We have not even been entitled to the android 11 beta version in europe so yes his comment is largely justified. Is was my first smartphone realme is It will be the last for sure !!! I should have bought a more expensive xiaomi mi 10 but your price!
I emailed Realme Europe asking when we could expect to see the update and all I got in response was a link to a customer satisfaction survey.
Let me say that I wished they had an option below 'Very dissapointed' as it looks like they didn't even read the email.
My guess is that they simply can't answer the question.
Oh by the way, X2 Pro magically disappeared from Indian software update website

I asked them again for information and got the reply below:

Further, keep following our social media handles and official community portal for the latest updates.
Warm Regards,

It would seem that we will just have to wait. I have checked all of the Realme UI2.0 Road maps and they are all for India so it is anyone's guess if we will get the update at all.
Anyone tried change to India region ,to update to android 11?

Of course it won't work, it's tied to your IMEI
Hello, I am new here. I'm from Germany and translate with deepl, because my English is not so good.
I have a Xiaomi TV Stick with Android TV 9.
With me, the Xiaomi TV Stick says that the last security update is from 5.11.2021.
In addition, I have an Android TV 9 Smart TV. Here, the same date is specified.
Can it be that it was the last security update, where can I see when the last update was provided directly by Android?

last week I purchased my first Android TV, a Smart Tech with Android 9, it asked for update after connected to the net, and the update is from 2021 - so that's it
greets..
OK, thanks. It will certainly be the last update.
In Germany, the seller actually has to ensure that you get long updates. As long as I have the 2-year warranty, I will nag the seller until he asks the manufacturer to finally install Android TV 12. Only if the buyers resist, something will change.
