you've seen the axon Pro it's the ZTE flagship we covered last month in New York but have you seen the axon elite for Europe and Asia i'm michael fisher with pocket now here at you've had 2015 in Berlin let's take a quick look in terms of hardware the axon elite is very similar to the axon Pro we already know metal casing 5.5 inch display Snapdragon 810 three gigs of ram and curious a dual camera arrangement dedicated audio chip the whole Shaboom where the elite differs is first in minor cosmetic touches ZTE changed to the end caps on the backside from plastic to a softer pleather like material which will either pleased you or it won't for what it's worth I think we've been here before and maybe it's time to move on other changes include the substitution of the American versions lightweight UI for the full blast skinning of ZTE s me favored interface or my favored interface which provides in many more customization options the cool stuff is in security the Oksana lead can be trained to recognize up to three different biometric keys meaning you can unlock the phone with a fingerprint a voice print or a via the new eye scanning feature the fingerprint scanner works as well as most of them do these days and it was too loud to test the voice print unlock in the booth but really we've seen those before and I was dying to let a smartphone scan my eyeballs teaching it was pretty straightforward you basically stare into the front-facing camera so the phone can measure the shape of your eyeballs no retina scanning here and after you've gotten acquainted you can unlock the phone just by looking at it well no actually you can unlock the phone by waking it up and dragging down on the lock screen holding it up pretty close to your face and then looking at it for a few seconds straight that could get pretty annoying pretty quickly it's obvious that this tech is in an embryonic state but not too long ago fingerprint scanners were awkward swipe sensors that didn't work too well either if the eye scanner a few more generations and hey you never know the axonal lead will go on sale in a handful of European countries starting at September 24th with wider availability in Europe and Asia following their after price 420 euros we've gotten hands on with many more smartphones and wearables a tee for 2015 in Berlin folks check out our videos here on YouTube and head over to pocket calm for up-to-the-minute updates until next time this has been michael fisher with pocket now captain to phones on twitter thanks for watching see you next time
