ZTE Axon 7 mini hands on

2016-09-01
ztx on seven launch not too long ago showing to us that a flagship doesn't require a typical flagship cost at $400 there's a whole lot of bang for the buck here for Aoife the company's unveiling its mini companion the ZTE axon seven mini now as its name implies the phone has a more compact in hand friendly design while maintaining the same all metal construction from before this translates to a phone that's more manageable to hold and operate with one hand besides its size the only other distinguishable change is the textured print over the speakers the phone really lives up to its name just because it perfectly replicates the premium design without much compromise looking around the phone it's so features the same fingerprint sensor on its back a USB type-c connector and those phenomenal sounding dual front firing speakers ZTE tells us that they're able to crank up the power by just a smidgen and believe us this thing isn't messing around with its audio quality it's incredible and if not better than the axon 7 due to the smaller size of the phone it's no shock we get a smaller screen - it's a 5.2 inch AMOLED with this one the resolution 2 goes from quad HD down to 1080p here now somebody complained about this but in all fairness it's still quite detailed when you look at it from a normal distance another area where we see a change is in the hardware that's under the hood you have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 chip with three gigabytes of RAM and 32 gigabytes of internal storage they're all a reduction of sorts but at least it seems to produce nearly the same responsiveness with superficial operations but then again the true tell'em will come down to how it handles gaming moving on to the interface it's identical to what's already available to the axon 7 so there's not much to say about it right now it's still at android 6.0.1 marshmallow which is expected in all but we know you're curious about the next iteration and with that however it purely boils down to a matter of time camera in the back is now a 16 megapixel one its lightest imposing as the 21 megapixel camera and the axon seven but it's still at a healthy count it's accompanied with an F one point nine aperture lens electronic image stabilization phase detection autofocus a sapphire lens and a dual LED flash the only thing not here this time around is optical image stabilization so it might not be as steady we're still curious to see how the new camera setup panels though arguably the biggest draw for the ZTE axon seven was its price something that even continues to blow the competition out of the water moving on to the ZTE axon seven mini though it's going to be sold at the retail price of $299 when it launches in some European markets at the end of September that roughly converts to 333 dollars which seems alright for a phone of this caliber especially when other compatibly spec phones are at four hundred dollars but it would have been more lowering if it comes out to be sub $300 when it comes here to the US maybe it will if so it's bound to be contender in that mid-range market so which I'll see what happens and that is it for the ZTE axon 7 mini so if you guys want to learn more about this handset or any of the other new goodies that are coming out and being nounce during Aoife you could check out our website and read authority calm this is John VIII signing out
