Virtual Reality is the new world everyone wants to experience these days. For those who do not have at least $600 for a VR compatible set and an additional $79 for the Daydream VR headset, ZTE brings a grand news. Their flagship, the Axon 7, is up for grabs in the markets for $400 and with the latest firmware upgrade to Android 7.0 Nougat, enables its VR functionality. Users who were still using the Axon 7 on Android 6.0 Marshmallow were not able to use the VR as the Daydream is not compatible with the OS.
Though the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive headsets have a relatively better quality, Google Daydream has allowed the growth of VR diversity with the Axon 7, bringing the total number of VR ready devices to a total of 5. Other sets in the category are Google Pixel, Motorola Moto Z, Huawei Mate 9 Pro, Asus ZenFone AR. What makes the ZTE Axon 7 different from the lineup is the affordable cost.
