News: Axon 7 Oreo Beta Now Open to US Users Here's How to Get It

In January, ZTE announced they would be conducting an Oreo beta program for Axon 7 users to test Android 8.0 before the masses. Since then, no additional information was released — until today, when ZTE finally opened up the Oreo beta to US customers.Using the link below, US Axon 7 owners can register for the beta program. If ZTE accepts your registration, you will receive the new Oreo build for Axon 7 as a regular OTA update, and all the subsequent beta updates would come the same way as they progress to the stable version (which is rumored to be released in April).Sign up for the ZTE Axon 7 Oreo beta program (US users only) Image by Marques Brownlee/YouTube ZTE will release the beta to a small group first, targeting individuals who can best assist them in the getting the update to a stable state as soon as possible.

After AT&T and Verizon were instructed by the US government to not sell Huawei's new flagship device, top officials elaborated on the reasons. The CIA, FBI, and NSA have come out suggesting American citizens shouldn't purchase smartphones created by Huawei and ZTE because of concerns over security. Particularly, these officials believe that both companies are influenced by foreign governments which could use the devices to threaten US interests.This isn't the first time ZTE has had a run-in with the US government. The company was hit last year with, at the time, the largest criminal fine in a case involving US sanctions, being forced to pay up to $1.2 billion. This was the result of the US learning that ZTE shipped products to Iran over the course of six years without proper licensing. It was only after this fine that ZTE was relieved of export restrictions between itself and the US. So while we don't wish to discourage you from joining the Oreo beta program, we do want to keep you informed.ZTE addressed the recommendation made by officials with the following statement:As a publicly traded company, we are committed to adhering to all applicable laws and regulations of the United States, work with carriers to pass strict testing protocols, and adhere to the highest business standards
— ZTE/XinhuaNetThe US government's recommendations aside, ZTE has done a great job with the Axon 7. The phone, which debuted back in 2016, is now one of only a handful of devices to get Android Oreo, and it's also one of the oldest. With the Axon 9 coming this year, ZTE fans need only to hold onto their devices for a few months before upgrading. Are you still using your Axon 7? Are you excited about Android Oreo?
