So through some digging on ZTE forums... A lot of digging I found that most users in the US have b12 for their axon 7 mini. I am currently on that version. It runs alright bit laggy in places I wouldn't expect the 617 to be. What really bums me out is the lack of T-Mobile volte on this version. From the forums I heard that they pulled the updated version b16. Saying g it wasn't fully functional. Does anyone have this version? Is their bugs you can verify? My guess is they have tried rolling it out because they are going to buy sleep it with nougat? I just don't want to get my hopes up with minis usually getting neglected. Thoughts? Wanted to discuss our options and just speculate in general.
Is anyone on b16 for the axon 7 mini

well you guys are right with these updates etc.. but if there's one thing we know for sure it's that corporations can be very hazy about updates, pulling them here, skipping this for that, risky bugs.. it's even possible they're giving us an unlockable bootloader for everyone! as it seems now, we will have to wait a little bit longer for nougat or we will get a (useless if it's my meaning) marshallow update.
I live in belgium and there's no volte here (as far as I know) and the random lags don't make it a unsatisfying experience. (my meaning, don't take it personal
)
back to the point, if we would stop blaming zte (cause if it's not about money, it should have a "real" problem like exploding axon 7 mini's xp) we will see updates soon :good: btw google wouldn't be happy if zte never updates this phone with google AI with this kind of audio recording hardware xp stone free

and to be honest, this device was released with lesser firmware then the axon 7 if you get me, even the bocotloader isn't finalized, kernel wasn't/isn't as good as the moto g4.. battery hogs..

My phone upgraded from b16 to ZTE B2017G_USAV1.0.0B21 a few days ago. I am happy because the 3-5 second delay when turning on the speakerphone after initiating a call has been fixed.
Fixes!
I got updated to b21 as well. It is a very welcome update. Google play music sounds much better and a lot of the core issues I had have been fixed. The latest bugs I have noticed are with Android Pay and I don't know if my sim card died but I am having issues receiving texts on T-mobile. The only Way I know I am receiving Texts is through the Digits Beta Program.
thanks for the heads up!
I didn't know that about the firmware that's a shame. I just hope that doesn't hold us back in the future. After the b21 update most of the lags and complaints have been solved so thats nicewell you guys are right with these updates etc.. but if there's one thing we know for sure it's that corporations can be very hazy about updates, pulling them here, skipping this for that, risky bugs.. it's even possible they're giving us an unlockable bootloader for everyone! as it seems now, we will have to wait a little bit longer for nougat or we will get a (useless if it's my meaning) marshallow update.
