[Download] ZTE Axon 7 A2017G Android 8.0 Oreo OTA update with November 2018 Security Patch (A2017GV1.3.0B03)

Updated December 17, 2018: ZTE Axon 7 (A2017G) is now receiving yet another OTA update with November 2018 security patch level based on Android 8.0 Oreo. This new OAT features a new firmware build number A2017GV1.3.0B03. It also comes with some bug fixes and optimizations. The full stock SD card package is now available for download directly from the manufacturer’s website.

Original: Following ZTE Axon 7 A2017U’s Android 8.0 Oreo official OTA update rollout in the United States, the manufacturer is going global. Today, the Axon 7 A2017G variants are receiving official Android 8.0 Oreo stable via OTA update (over-the-air). Yes, this is not the SD card package as we did with the US variant. The update features new firmware build number A2017GV1.3.0B02. So download and install new Oreo OTA update for Axon 7 with build number B02 today.

The update is currently rolling out in phase and currently live in the European Union region. Unfortunately, we do not have the full stock firmware zip or the OTA update zip available for download as of now; like we did for the ZTE Axon 7 A2017U. So in order to get this update, you will need to manually go into settings > system updates and check for any update notifications. We will soon list the SD Card package here in the download section once available. So stay tuned.

Apart from the Android 8.0 Oreo update, the change log also suggests that it features the latest October 1, 2018 security patch level but no mention of which. Further, you can expect performance enhancements as well.
