The original post by ZTE is this:

”We are announcing now that we are already developing android 8 for the Axon 7, your positive feedback has been inspiring us a lot and made us very happy and because of this we try to get it customer ready as soon as possible for the best customers in the world, and I ask for your understanding because we still need some time to perfect it.”

Guy really could learn more about punctuation. Other than that, yay! While there is no ETA for the update, it sounds like it could pop up any day now. Maybe in a week or two. ZTE’s message was posted on an European forum, so it is unknown if the update will reach US as well.
