    Although is not the fastest phone in the market, you may rely on it. Great camera, sound and has fingerprint scanner.

    This is a great little phone, just understand that it's not a powerhouse. It has slowed down over time, but it gets the job done. it works well, but don't run too many apps or load up too much and you'll be happy. Just understand that you're buying a mid-range phone, not a flagship. I would not recommend this unless you're in a pinch, which we were. It works great to get us to the next phone.

    Great phone. The only negative is the battery life could be better.. Not sure if all metal cased phones have the NFC reader on the front but this phone does. When you use something like Android pay, you have to place the phone face down. This does not let you see the screen while the transaction is being made.

    The phone is great is speed, camera, ease of access, build quality, and etc for it's price that makes it seem like a flagship killer...but with something that seems too good for the price, there's always some draw backs. (NOTE: I've called the ZTE Technical Support 3 times and they couldn't solve this, having the phone repaired or exchanged isn't worth it really) First 3 days : - If you've bought this phone to listen to music with its Dolby Atmos feature, it's great but if you listen with headphones, as soon as you put this phone into your pocket with them on, it's gonna pause. When playing again and putting it back, it will pause again. There's no screen issue where my pocket is tapping anything and there's no on body detection activated or headphone wiring issue, using headphones for this phone is only an issue when your phone is out in the open and you always have to carry it and not simply place it in your pocket out of sight. - The phone shuts down randomly and it's definitely not the auto start and stop feature, some people have also had this problem and weren't able to solve this issue. This is actually something that occurs before the phone goes into this stage where all hope is loss and your phone is officially messed up and even ZTE tech support can't do anything about it. - This is the part that I'm experiencing and it's unsolvable(unless you want to take your phone apart), the phone pretty much gets stuck in a power cycle(the phone goes into a phase where it starts up but shuts off, not being able to start up). Android Recovery doesn't work and it doesn't even do anything unless connected to the charger where it power cycles for hours. Countless people from forums to videos have had this feature and this is what the Axon is pretty much known about. The only way that people have actually fixed this was either but random luck or taking the phone apart and using tools to fix a certain defective part that only someone who is an actual technician can fix. - Having the phone repaired isn't worth it because not only do you have to use your own money to ship a product to their repair center, but once they receive it, you have to wait 10 days or longer depending if it can be fixed or not and then sent back in another 2 weeks(from what they told me), so it's pretty much a waste of time and if you wanted to get an exchange, then don't. Literally they act as if your phone is defective, it's completely their fault and they'll send you a brand new one free of charge but nope, there's a large fee and they place a $200-300 hold onto your account until they receive the defective phone back which in case it gets into an accident during transit, congrats you played yourself. - I thought I was bought a $200 phone, yeah it's defective so I'll just return it or get it exchanged, oh but no, you got to go through days waiting for it or take a risk and wait even longer which could potentially be another defective(there are people who have actually received 3 defective phones in a row after every returns/exchanges). - If in case you don't have a defect and everything is fine, then it's a great phone to have and you can just stop reading and have a nice day but if your the unlucky person like me that received a defective phone and want a refund, call Best Buy and if it's a defective device, they'll pay for the shipping charges to their return center and they will pay the full refund instead of the $35 restocking fee and other charges. Literally it's that simple and you can either buy another one and see if your chances are better or get another budget phone like the Motorola G5 Plus or the Huawei Honor 6X, both are great in specs and camera.

    Nice phone for the price. Camera is decent, screen is nice, size is good for a 5.2" screen. I wish the glass wasn't curved at the edges, because that makes it difficult to use a screen protector. The fingerprint sensor rejects my fingerprint a lot more than on other phones I've used. Recently got an update to Nougat (7.1.1) with June 2017 security patches, which is good.

    I got this phone when it was $100 off during black Friday. Overall it's a great phone. Best feature is its speakers, downside is its battery is a little bit weak.

    Purchased the gold color, nice build quality, form factor & price. Using on T-Mobile network, signal strength seems to be pretty good. Great phone for the price, Nougate 7.1 was available when I set it up out the box. Major brands still dont have the update yet. Camera is just good, nothing special. Battery life is average. ZTE has really made a good phone.

    I really like the Zyte Mini 7 . It came with a good case, not flimsy. The phone comes with a pretty fast charger, in my opinion. Speaker is pretty loud and the volume is awesome for watching youtube videos. So far so good. I love this phone.

    Good phone for the money. Some bloatware but not as much as many others. Dual SIM capability is nice for when I'm traveling and have to buy a local SIM card. Although, if you're using the extra SIM slot, you have to forego putting in a MicroSD card for more memory. I can't speak to the capabilities of the camera because I don't use it.

    Everything about this phone is amazing for the price except for the battery life, which is on the low side. This is probably because the phone has a lot of capabilities which you don't get on most phones for this price, but it really is bad, especially when watching something on Youtube or playing games. Drains the battery fast.

    Had an old iPhone 4s that needed replacing and didn't want to spend the big $$$ for the latest technology from Apple or other big players. After lots of research this looked to be the best bet for an Unlocked phone; not too much Android customization and easily accepted by AT&T network (setup at store took 15 mins!). A few items that are a bit wonky (BT connectivity to speaker and car not the greatest & still can't figure out how to create custom tones for text messages), but all in all we're both happy with the purchase.

    I've got this recently after I looked online for a while for a good phone. I love the sound of the internal speakers. The Dolby option is awesome!!! The LCD is clear and the processor powerful enough to do any daily task.

    I got this phone bebause the oneplus 3T was out of stock but this phone is just as good at half the price. The sound is amazing with dolby and the screen is just as big as my 3T even though it's an AXON mini. I love that it has dual sim card option with the option to increase memory with micro SD card. The caveat is that you will can only use one sim when a memory card is used as this sits on one of the sim slots. Overall, it's a speedy phone and with Nougat update,...it's really a nice phone at a even better price!

    I was worried about buying this phone since I haven't heard about this brand before but its reviews were good, so I gave it a try. After using this phone for about 2 months, I would say it is a great phone at this price range. There is really no need to pay a lot of money to iphones or samsungs, this phone is rock solid and has a lot of features that others don't have at this price. I really recommend it to everyone who does not want to pay a fortune to a phone and looking for something that will last long.

    The first 1 of these I got I had to return and the bb guy tried to use it and said I had got a lemon so I got a 2nd one and it is great! Can't believe how little I paid for it and all that it does! Got 2 more for my 2 sons, 17 and 20 and they say it's the best phone they've had. Their previous phones were LG G3 and HTC one 8
