There is no issue with SD810 and Nougat, whether ZTE will update is a different story though. SD800 does not officially support Nougat however.

Oops, should have checked my 'facts'.
I think your point is valid because I cannot see this getting Nougat anyway. A quick search suggests that 6.0 is not available OTA let alone 7.0. I would say it is still a bargain and looks like plenty of options on XDA.

Unsure as to what Android OS it updates to though for this UK update. It is possible to select other countries for updates. So maybe some of those have a higher OS update which could be used instead. Assuming the language can be set to English and without causing issues to functionality and bandwidths.
I bought a ZTE Axon Elite in Gold for £77.22 (Used Like New Item will come in original packaging Amazon Warehouse Deal) a couple of weeks ago. Thought it would be a good deal for an upgrade from my gen 1 Moto G. I was thinking of getting a ZTE Z7 Max. That would have been an import and would have cost more. So the Amazon deal seemed too good a option to pass up on.

It is possible to use a micro SD card in one of the sim slots. Although it is 32GB ROM internally. I assume you've got a 64GB ROM Moto G+.
Got a tempered glass protector and silicone case quickly (7 days from ordering) and cheaply from a Spanish eBay seller for £5.30 (I got White, which is clear as I thought sis would like to show off the Ion Gold colour, those who don't like it could disguise it with a Black case I suppose!) ebay.co.uk/itm…783
Think you can buy this phone in Silver (officially called Chromium Silver) but rarely seen it for sale anywhere. ZTE even suggest it comes in a pinky colour - Rose Gold (3/4 down the page, under Appearance ztedevice.com/pro…ITE ).
The camera didn't seem great in low light but I haven't had a chance to extensively test, as it was a gift.
Wonder if an app like Vignette or Camera Zoom FX would improve things?
The last stock ROM (B06) is mentioned further on in that thread (Page 4, Post #35) mega.nz/!BA1SEaLK!Y8eDchgf3tUgPfb3fbH8migbWD0cnh3sT6G6jgQHMFQ
Someone says they bought their Axon Elite from Gearbest and received an infected device! forum.xda-developers.com/zte…325 though, as it's a ZTE app (Me-Assistant/ZTE Cares) Malwarebytes flags as an infection, it could be a false positive.

No over heating issues and the sound quality on this is amazing
Great for those that do not want to mess with installing roms etc - Out of the box perfect
yep, most smartphones can, dont know how usable it will be though
Should do, it won't be rooted
my concern too, but at this price i'm willing to go back to contactless cards if need be. Very good price and very tempting even though I don't need a phone right now.
What international Rom are you running and can you still use NFC with it?
I've read some Roms cause NFC to no longer works on the phone.
What version of Android now runs on your Axon Elite?
Thanks.
Sorry - i'm not sure as i bought this for a friend, everything was ok when i first initially used it. will try to find out anyhow
Shouldn't be too much of an issue, you can get 2 for £1 at Poundland or similar...
download.lineageos.org/axon7
What roms?
i meant firmware.
The existing firmware will be fine though
yeah i bought the nubia z7 max recently - expected it to work on Pay but it didnt. it has nfc but doesnt play ball. some peeps mentioned that zte phones have unlocked bootloaders standard - that nixes it for android pay....but i never really found a definiative answer.
Although i am able to use Barclays pay
I'd imagine this International Version is different as it's UK ready and you can do official ZTE OTA firmware updates. (I got my ZTE Axon Elite from Amazon).
The Amazon ZTE Axon Elite listing is here and has a few Q&As and a different description blurb (though, as often happens on Amazon, the Q&As aren't always that accurate or informative) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B017C4R3FQ
Also, the supplied headphones are by JBL. The dual rear cameras can do "Bokeh" effect.
Not sure all the zte's use the same type of battery but worth thinking about
How many boxers do you have?
Even though the Nubia Z7 Max (which I made a Deal about) and Axon Elite have un-removable batteries, you can get official replacements, and maybe even do it yourself. I was able to do it with my sister's un-removable Xperia T battery (got an official Sony one, of course, never that confident about unofficial batteries).
I think this is the 3000mAh Axon Elite replacement (even though it says A2015 - which is the Axon Pro) - would have to do some digging to double-check. They will be out there in the wild somewhere aliexpress.com/ite…tml
Assume this A2015 teardown would be similar? ifixit.com/Tea…392
Edit: In fact, the battery should be compatible, as the Axon Elite and Axon Pro are the same phone (apart from a few little differences - RAM and screen resolution I think?), just different names in different countries.
Not sure that is correct, can only view my mums MotoG4 and Kindle Fire doesn't work at all.(I know thats not quite android)
I've had some small items not arrive over Christmas but was given a refund no issue. All my phones have arrived just fine.
