ZTE Axon Review

    See other variants reviews Score: 63.1 / 100

ZTE Axon is a powerful device released back in the year 2015, with a huge 5.5 inches screen, an exceptional Quad-Core processing unit ticking at 2.3 gigahertz, and 2 cameras, a 13 mega-pixels back-facing camera and an 8 megapixels front side camera. That's all? No, it's just the starting point of this in-depth review.

ZTE decided to sell this cellphone with an extremely fast Quad-Core CPU clocking at 2.3 GHz, packed into a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 8974 system chip with a large 2 GB RAM memory. An amazing feature of this device is its 32 GB huge internal storage and even though it doesn't come with an SD memory card expansion slot, it is still enough to install hundreds of apps and even the heaviest games currently available without having to worry about filling the cellphone.

About its aspect, this cellphone is mainly built with Aluminum and Plastic . Being just 0.37" thick,this cellphone is very slim and stilized. The ZTE Axon is quite a compact device, given that it features a 5.5" screen and it's just 6.06" long. The ZTE Axon feels much lighter than what you would expect from a cellphone of this size. ZTE sells this phone in three color options: blue, gold and gray.

The ZTE Axon is equipped with two cameras, a 13 MP back facing camera and an 8 mega-pixels front side camera. This cellphone also films videos in 3840x2160 (4K) at 30 fps. Additionally, the camera has auto-focus and time lapse video.

The ZTE Axon includes an awesome 5.5-inches display with a 1080 x 1920 (Full HD) resolution, which makes everything look completely perfect.

This cellphone offers WiFi capability (and it can be provided to other devices around, as a mobile hotspot), LTE 4G high speed connection type and fast 3G connectivity, using HSPA and HSUPA technologies. This phone doesn't have a sim card, because it doesn't support GSM services.

The ZTE Axon also comes with lots of cool features as NFC (to trigger actions, transfer data or make payments by holding your phone close to another NFC device or tag), Bluetooth (enables communication with other bluetooth phones, computers and accessories), GPS (Global Positioning System) and FM Radio, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This phone uses an amazing 3000 mAh non-replaceable battery, enough to provide this cellphone with an incredibly long battery duration. An issue to take into consideration is that the ZTE Axon's battery is non-replaceable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it starts to lose capacity, though having 3000 mAh you will probably buy a new phone before it becomes an issue.

ZTE is offering this cellphone for 300 dollars, which is high for comparing with similar phones. No matter whether you are looking for a phone for work, will use it as a social phone, want this phone to play lots of games or you love taking pictures, this cellphone is definitely a great choice .
