TL;DR: Jeff Yee, Vice President of Technology Partnerships and Planning for ZTE North America:
"Before any decisions are made about the future of Project CSX, the company's current flagship, the Axon 7, is poised to get updated to Android 7.0 Nougat in early February. Yee says that Google has received the final Nougat build, which includes long-awaited Daydream support, and is going through the process of certifying the release for public use. That process should wrap up in the coming days, and users of the sold-unlocked device can look forward to an update in the next two weeks or so."
"...or so." I'll look for it at the end of February at the earliest.
also from the article:
"Yee says that Google has received the final Nougat build, which includes long-awaited Daydream support, and is going through the process of certifying the release for public use. That process should wrap up in the coming days, and users of the sold-unlocked device can look forward to an update in the next two weeks or so."
Unless it's near vanilla Nougat, and that abomination called Power Manager has been completely removed and killed with fire, I am not interested. Lineage is working wonderfully and I see no reason why ZTE would bring anything useful to the table based on the B27 and B29 updates.
My opinion, for what it's worth.
that article is bull****. the nougat beta doesnt seem to be anywhere close to ready....
I thought they would release 7.1 with Daydream?

They gonna get me that's for sure....Their timeline for nougat has been much better than most other OEM's. And their help was invaluable in getting CM up and running which is pretty much the bigg at reason I actually bought the phone in the first place...If only I could find a decent glass screen protector this would be a 11/10
I was planning to go with the S8 once it is out (assuming unlocked bootloader). But after all ZTE did to help get CM up and running I am going to wait for the AXON 8 instead!

No it's not, not by a long shot. Since when is an update nearly a year after initial release so good? Even companies notorious for slow releases like Samsung have beaten them to the punch. The only one which comes to mind which has delayed as much as them is LG and they're being torn apart for it.

They've done the absolute bare minimum and did far less than any of the random developers here who wanted to get it done. There is literally zero ROMs that you can honestly thank them for, in fact if they weren't so stubborn and just gave us the material to work with we could have come up with plenty long ago. Go ahead and use one of those ROMs, which ZTE did nothing to help with just to be perfectly clear, if you don't mind losing functionality like access to the Hi-Fi DAC. ZTE are by far one of the worst companies when it comes to support that I've ever heard of. Interesting that a lack of screen protectors is what keeps it from being an "11" when it's camera practically doesn't function in medium light, there's random bugs all over the place, and there's still even enough typos to make the entire thing seem like a bad joke.
Even if they do deliver now, it'd be too little too late. I've had this phone for half a year and they haven't kept a single promise. Only empty hype which has never once resulted in something tangible.
I like this mtfk
You Sir have a point, and I think is a valid one.

1. The device has been out for around 1 month, i.e. delivered to customers. It began to reach customers at the beginning of August and it was introduced on June 25.
2. Custom recovery is almost finished according to the latest posts.
3. We have root.
So I would say that it has progressed nicely, kindly remember that Sony rolled out the C6802 on a limited amount of markets, the wide release will be with the C6833 this month and that is when the ROM development kicks off.
So you are wrong, unfortunately. Expecting a lot of ROMs for a device that has been rolled out in a limited way, i.e. excluding Europe etc and that has been out for a month, mostly as an import is a bit naive. Usually, it takes a broad release before those things kicks off.
Also notice that the Ultra is a niche device unlike the Nexus 4 which has a lot of "mainstream appeal" due to its size and price. So comparing the Ultra with the N 4 and complaining is apples and pencils.
I knew that the Ultra had a limited rollout when I bought it and that the first step would be root and that development would start in September when the C6833 reaches customers and limited action initially - so I have not even considered another device.
It is necessary to understand what it means to buy a new device that is only available in a few markets.

The LTE model (perhaps the other models too, dunno) has not had its release yet in many countries. When I got my dads htc one in my hands there was no kernels, a few roms, no mods ..nothing fun. About a month later the forum got a few kernels and roms but the developers where there so I rooted the phone it with revone in Linux mint and installed insertcoin.
And WOW, I just checked out the htc one forum ...it is filled with threads for various roms and mods now! Don't worry, It's coming sooner or later for the Z ultra
I usually wait for a while before I get a device in order for the ROMs and kernels to appear but the Ultra with its unique screen and size made it too hard - I saw now that the first recovery that works seems to be posted over at Original Android Development.

Which country you stay where this phone already release 3 months?
You keep your N4 fella.
We all wish you many happy years with it.
Yes it's slow. I bought htc butterfly s and xperia z ultra at the same time. (They announced at the same countries)
...but it's ok just because we already have a news about Cyanogen ! What can be more cooler than that !!!

you couldn't even afford it if your next choice is N4
Choosing between a 4.7" or a 6.44" device is odd, to put it mildly. To me, it isn't even a competition, the logical choice would be a Nexus 7 then.

I did not choose the N4 for its screen size or specs, i chose it because it allows me to flash custom roms and kernels. In singapore the LTE model is already released. Perhaps what you guys said is right, this thing has not yet seen a major worldwide release, ive seen the SZU in real life and its the best phone ever, im able to fit 2 S2s on it so perhaps in a few months when customs are available ill purchase one, but for now? Nah

It's a snapdragon 800 device, and it's been a real pain in the ass the last couple of days to try and find a method to manually compile boot.img etc.
- We won't be able to start kernel development before I finished this (I probably have once I get a file I requested from Kali or bin4ry)
- second, setting up a device tree for a complete new board like MSM8974 which has changes from Qualcomm isn't easy!
Just have some patience and don't blame the devs, we are doing whatever we can to provide stock image with recovery etc at the moment
Dont warrant yourself because of such a fool. He'll be one of the idiots who blame you then why vou've spend the 2 mins for this post, and not for pushing your dev work forward.
They should stop whining, and do it better on their own or get the hell out of here.
Roms are not about clients, contracts and payed work, so for everybody it should be more then natural to cherish the efforts in it.
Keep up the good work, and don't feel the comments of useless retards as a judgement of your dev-work.

Of course, coming soon could mean anything!
Yeah, but when for Verizon? I really hope soon is really soon, and not in a month or so. Hate it when they do the teaser stuff, I would rather have it be a dead drop one day rather than a teaser.
Just my thoughts.
Verizon has to, um, "test" all updates for at least 5 weeks, I think it was, before they can safely release one. To protect their network - which is the largest, most reliable 4gLTE network !
If anything upsets Verizon during testing, they send the update back to LG and restart the testing later.
Generally there will be a soak text preceding the actual release, so we'll most likely find out that lollipop is actually coming when we start getting a soak test. Rarely does an update not get released once it enters soak phase. They won't pish anything to a phone (even in a soak) without being reasonably sure it's ready for release
A lot of people from different countries that have the stock release of lollipop complain about battery drain from idle and just in general. If that's the case, want nothing to do with this update. Then again if it let's me take videos with my battery burning up and shutting off, then I may take the battery drain, lol!
Verizon needs an extra 4 weeks just to cripple the features they don't want you to have.

The G3 is running pretty nice as it is, and I have become less impatient with the speed of verizon getting the G3 lolipop after seeing some of the early issues that cropped up in 5.0's so far. So for once I can wait for verizon to get us a mostly bug free upgrade this time hopefully.

Hope you are being sarcastic because iOS 8's release has been a disaster. They've done at least three or four post updates since the initial roll out due to numerous issues, including losing radio signal, etc.
It's to be expected when you release a major OS upgrade. Remember, this is going from the 4.x to the 5.x versions. 4.x to 5.x was a major change under the hood, including going from Dalvik to ART runtime. Quite a difference there.
However, it's worse that Apple has had so many issues, considering they control the hardware AND software. And even the iPhone 6's had issues with iOS 8.
Looks like Sprint will be tentatively pushing the lollipop update to the LG G3 on Feb. 16th. We will have to wait and see if Verizon is at the same time which they have been for the Galaxy S5.

Okay, that makes sense.
Not sure what can be done about the carriers whims. I'm sure Apple still has to work with them as well, but since it's across similar hardware, there probably isn't as much "apprehension" by the carries possibly? That or Apple knew how to "bully" the carriers into a contract that allows Apple to pretty much do as they please. LOL.

As with prerelease versions of regular Android the preview source only contains the changes they are required to publish because of their license. Example is the kernel with is GPL2 licensed requiring source code releases.
Android Wear 2.0 is definitely confirmed for the Zenwatch 2 any day now hopefully

Even though this may be true we have to keep in mind... That Google MAY be releasing the source to Manufactures on Feb 15. ASUS still needs to sign off on it essentially and hopefully not muck it up to much by making their own changes. I dont hopefully for see that but you never know! I had emailed ASUS myself the other day asking them if they had a scheduled date for the rollout and they responded they were not certain. I as well as all of you am very eager to see wear 2.0 arrive on our ZW2! I think a new breath of life will bring a whole new meaning to wearables!
Also in the email i received from ASUS they commented they will not roll out a factory image that can be flashed to the watch via PC. They do have their security updates posted on asus.com but apparently once they roll it out we will have to wait till it arrives on our watch and not just download it and flash it. Unless this rep was wrong however.
Just figured i would let you all know what ive found so far.

Wear 2.0 is a pretty significant rewrite. I'd rather they get it right than get it fast.
Also, Wear 1.0, while largely just a remote notification system, still works just fine for what it is. The only major feature in 2.0 that I'm waiting for is truly local apps, so I can kill the stupid stub apps on my phone.

I'd be careful with that, I could flash it long long ago, but I have seen endless cases of people ending up with having problems after flashing, so better be safe!!

ooh! shall wait!
The LG V30 is already happily running Android Oreo in some parts of the world (most notably the company's home country of South Korea). The G6, on the other hand, hasn't been as lucky. Back in October a unit running Oreo appeared in a benchmark, and then around the end of last year we found out that LG was running a beta test of the software in China.
If you were wondering when the finalized version of LG's interpretation of Oreo would finally reach Europe, for example, we may now have the answer. According to the company's official website for Italy, the G6 is expected to be graced with the update in the first half of this year. Here's a screenshot proving the above.

"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
That unfortunately means that, in the worst case scenario, you will have to wait until late June to see the tasty treat on your G6, a handset that isn't even one year old at this point. LG Italy's official Twitter account has pinned down the update time frame even more - to the second quarter (so at some point between April and June).

Of course you are free to do what you want with your phone, but doesn't that reaction seem kind of irrational? Trash an otherwise good phone because you have to wait a few more months for an update (and not that big an update at that)?
To me its really a matter of expectations.
When you buy a toaster or a refrigerator do you become angry and get rid of it after a year because the manufacturer doesn't upgrade your product after you buy it?
Did LG promise you or advertise when you bought the phone that you will get updates on a schedule?
No I don't work for LG
You think his reaction is bad? You should see the LG G6 subreddit.. I think LG will lose many customers after their very blasé approach to dealing with software updates.

lul ? how?
bad for me i have lg g6+
Last time I've checked, Polish LG rep said that we should get Oreo on G6 around February. He posted that screenshot from above last week and now there's a news from LG Italy that Oreo will arrive in Q2 2018...
Let's wait till the end of February and check if LG is f.cking their customers with loads of bull.
If they are, the customers should f.ck them when the new LG phones get released.
I respectfully disagree. How many of their average customers care about updates?
People who comment on forums are a select (weird) group, probably a very small % of the customers. For those folks, timely updates are important.
I am a bit of a technophile myself, and although updates are fun, more important are the long term useability and durability.

G600L we get security updates almost every months
shameful lg
For me lg on g6 is making great mistakes both on security patches that oreo, x performance, xz xzs, main competitors have not only the updated patches but also oreo.Mai more smartphones lg, I also have the screens in which lg italy told me to my question since I have to change my smartphone and I'm undecided whether to stay in sony buying xzs or lg g6 as you are at the level of updates and speed of release? fast and timely response. I am attaching the screen in Italian

BTW found the discussion on Twitter, seems they're discussing about a test (i say "they" because i don't know if the screen is yours), who knows, usually Poland is the first country in Europe to receive Major updates in LG History, but the KDZ didn't pop up yet...
I'm calling out that there is an elephant in the room.
This might sound kind of provocative, but could it be that LG concluded that Oreo is not really a major update, and is therefore not in a rush to get it on existing models?
It seems to me that there is a lot of hype in new versions.
When I look at the list of the new "features" in Oreo, it's really quite unimpressive. Picture in picture? Icons that change shape? Who cares? It's a much smaller difference than say Kit Kat to Lollipop.
Of course when you buy a new model phone you want the latest software on it.
But just because Android came out with a new version number it doesn't mean its that much different. Modern OSs are pretty evolved and full featured now, so many improvements are basically stylistic changes that are like getting new style clothing.
Most of the things that Google hypes as major changes are more like minor tweaks. Other than the security updates, can anybody tell me how Oreo is any more functional than Marshmallow?
Also , many of the evolutionary improvements are pushed through the Google system app update anyway. Anything else can be obtained via other launchers
Just playing the contrarian here...
