While the Cyber 7 5G shipped with Android 13, HOTWAV may release Android 14 or 15 updates. Manual firmware flashing allows you to upgrade before the OTA reaches your region.
Hotwav Cyber 7 5G is a rugged smartphone built on the MediaTek Dimensity 700 (MT6833) chipset and originally launched with Android 11
Yes. The Dimensity 1080 is internally codenamed MT6877V, but many tools identify the platform as MT6833 (which is the Dimensity 810/920 family). This is a minor detection mismatch and is safe.
