Nougat supposedly rolling out + Daydream support!

[YAYTech]

Android 7.0 Nougat update rolling out to Moto Z Droid and Z Droid Force on Verizon, adds Daydream compatibility

"The update brings the device to Android 7.0 (not 7.1) with the November 1st security patch level. The update also allows the Z Droid and Z Droid Force to use Daydream mode, joining the ZTE Axon 7 as the only non-Pixel devices with the feature. In addition, the update finally brings Camera API 2 support, allowing certain applications to more fully control the camera."

I noticed they don't mention the Z Play. I've been wondering if the lesser CPU would support Daydream. I would think Nougat wouldn't be far behind for the Play, but Daydream is still a question.

AFAIK, Z Droid and Z Force Droid are on the same software track.

Nope.

Nope.

And historically they haven't.

Then I'm confused I've always been able to take dng photos with 3rd party camera apps. Just can't go over .6 second shutter speed.

What is this camera 2 thing you all are talking about?
