The ZTE Axon 7 Mini: A Flagship at an Unbeatable Price

ZTE has recently unveiled its latest offering, the Axon 7 Mini, a compact and hand-friendly device that boasts a premium design without compromising on quality. As its name suggests, this mini companion is designed to be more manageable to hold and operate with one hand, thanks to its smaller size and all-metal construction.

One of the most noticeable features of the Axon 7 Mini is its textured print over the speakers, which adds an extra layer of sophistication to the device's design. The phone's premium look and feel are undeniable, with a design that perfectly replicates the original Axon 7 without much compromise. Even when looked at from different angles, the phone still manages to maintain its premium appearance.

Despite its smaller size, the Axon 7 Mini still features many of the same high-end components as its larger counterpart, including a fingerprint sensor on the back and USB Type-C connector. However, one notable difference is the reduction in screen resolution, which has been reduced from Quad HD to 1080p. While some may complain about this change, it's worth noting that the phone still looks quite detailed when viewed from a normal distance.

Under the hood, the Axon 7 Mini boasts a Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 chip with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage. This is a reduction compared to its larger sibling, but it still seems to produce nearly the same responsiveness as the original Axon 7 when performing superficial operations. However, it's worth noting that the true performance of this device will be determined by how well it handles gaming.

The interface on the Axon 7 Mini is identical to that of the original Axon 7, so there's not much new to report here. The phone still runs Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, which may seem outdated compared to newer versions, but it's expected that a next-generation update will arrive soon.

One area where the Axon 7 Mini does differ from its larger counterpart is in its camera setup. Instead of the impressive 21-megapixel camera found on the original Axon 7, this mini version features a more modest 16-megapixel camera with an f/1.9 aperture lens and electronic image stabilization. While it may not have the same level of optical image stabilization as its larger sibling, it still packs a healthy punch and includes a Sapphire lens and dual LED flash.

Perhaps the biggest draw for the Axon 7 Mini is its price, which is set to be €299 when it launches in some European markets at the end of September. This works out to approximately $333, which seems like an unbeatable deal considering the phone's premium design and features. However, if ZTE can manage to bring the price down below $300 in the US market, this device could become a serious contender in the mid-range smartphone space.

Overall, the ZTE Axon 7 Mini is a formidable offering that promises a flagship experience at an unbeatable price. With its premium design, impressive features, and affordable price tag, it's definitely worth keeping an eye on as more information becomes available.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: ena ztx on 7 launched 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 EA the company is unveiling its mini companion the ZT axon 7 mini now as its name implies the phone has a more Compact and handf friendly design while maintaining the same all metal construction from before this 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 still 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 the 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 too it's a 5.2 in AML with this one the resolution 2 goes from Quad HD down to 1080p here now some might complain 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 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB 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 telling 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 mapel one it's not as imposing as the 21 megap camera in the axon 7 but it's still at a healthy count it's accompanied with an f1.9 aperture lens electronic image stabilization pH 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 set up panels though arguably the biggest draw for the ZT ax on 7 was its price something that even continues to blow the competition out of the water moving on to the ZT axon 7 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 which seems all right for a phone of this caliber espe especially when other comparably spec phones are at $400 but it would have been more luring 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 we shall 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
