Continued Experience with Android OS

So after three months of using my Motorola X Pure Edition, I fell in love with the not so bloated version of Android Marshmallow (6.0.1).  But the sad news was I had to end up returning the Motorola X Pure Edition due to security issues with Lenovo and they now own Motorola's mobile side of the house.

With that said I was surprised BestBuy took back the phone with no issues.  So I was left looking for a new smartphone and I wanted another Android platform.  So after some intense research I found the ZTE AXON 7.  This phone comes with the Snapdragon 820 CPU and the Adreno 530 GPU.  It also supports dual sim and a MicroSD card up to 128GB.  Although it has two sim trays it does not support CDMA networks currently.  It does have the radio chipset to do so but it is not enabled.

So first impressions after a few weeks with this phone now is that it is amazing.  You get all this value for $400 unlocked by the way.  Just an incredible value for a smartphone.

I already have Android Nougat (7.0) installed and it runs like a champ and yes it supports DayDream which I will discuss further in another blog.

This is an incredible smartphone and Android experience......
