ZTE is updating the Axon 7 to Android Nougat today, and with it comes Google Daydream compatibility. As a reminder, this update will give Axon 7 users the ability to run apps side by side; type with the new, more inclusive emoji; and it includes all the other features that shipped with Nougat. ZTE also says it’s working with a company called Hiya to provide caller ID and spam detection / blocking.
