    The sound quality from this phone is by far the best I've ever heard on a stock phone but I ended up returning mine because the battery life was so bad I couldn't make it though an entire day without having to charge at some point. Complete deal breaker.

    I like the price. I like the front speakers. The display is large and bright. There are some things I don't like, the antennas are not great, I have no reception where I live and my provider wasn't able to setup wifi calling. I lose wifi in some parts of my house. It is a fine device just not a very good phone.

    One of the best smartphones under $200

    After having my Samsung Galaxy S4 for around 2 years, loving the crisp 5-inch Super AMOLED Full HD display but being constantly bottlenecked with only 1 GB of RAM, 16 GB of storage, slow processor and rapidly aging (But still supported after all these years) OS, I needed a new device. I was almost deadset on grabbing a Sony Xperia series phone, liked the design despite the mediocre specs (Still better than the S4, though), I happened to come across the ZTE Axon 7 mini on clearance, by chance. I saw the reviews, looked at the specs and plenty of pictures and reviews and decided this was for me. A beautiful sleek design and color (Normally I'm not a gold guy, but the Ion Gold color is beautiful), a nicely sized 5.2 - inch AMOLED Full HD display (Not bad for a "mini") 3GB of RAM and best of all, front-firing stereo speakers loaded with Dolby Atmos technology and a sweet headphone jack with Dolby tech as well. The phone also supports USB-C port on the bottom, that also boasts fast charging with 50% battery within a half hour, a nice 16MP camera rear and 8MP front, both capable of 1080p recording, and dual SIM card support (Note: if adding an SD card, you have to give up a slot for it) with slot for Micro SD card storage. The only downside, but only really for gamers, is a mediocre Snapdragon 617 processor, that has 8 cores, it kinda holds back on certain functions but not enough to truly wreck your day. All in all, probably one of the best budget-to-mid-level smartphones I've ever used. Everything about it screams premium, (The aluminum body, snappy fingerprint scanner, etc.) except for the processor, but when it has so many positives how could you not love a phone like this? This one is a real winner, worthy of taking space in your pocket.

    I bought this for my wife since I own the full version. The mini looks close to the same as the full version. After using the phone W have found that it plays music just as well as the full version. She doesn't use a ton of apps and has found the phone to be quick and responsive. Combine with Nova Launcher, and the phones works just awesome. For $200, I find it hard to beat.

    The Axon Mini is a great device with top tier specs. With the phone being GSM unlocked, your value is even greater! Why pay $500 for a phone with similar specs? When you can get the Axon for $200?

    Purchased the phone to run on T-Mobile and it works great. Pros: Amazing display. Speakers are best I've heard in a cell phone, and I love they are on the front. Signal quality is great. Bluetooth has better compatibility than my Honor 5x it replaced. Size is good, RAM is great and phone runs very well. Cons: Battery life is acceptable, but nothing to get excited about.

    It is the good mobile to buy in low cost. I like all the features for this budget. Only concern about this item, you need charger or power bank with you. You have to charge two or three times in a day. 100% Charge stands for 5 to 6 hour. One good think, it is 100% charged in 30-45 minutes

    I wanted an unlocked phone for around $200 and discovered this in my search. It has ample storage space for my needs, feels comfortable while holding, and has a clear bright screen. Will definitely be sticking with ZTE for future phone purchases.

    Great Phone... One important flaw

    Phone is great value. Just don't do upgrade to 7.1... If you "draw the short straw" you'll lose your hotspot capability. Then ZTE support will be "surprised and unaware" of the issue, then vague about a fix. BTW don't wait for the call back or email confirming a course of action from them.... it won't happen.

    I was a bit cautious about buying an "off-brand" phone, but I've been quite pleasantly surprised. Although it may not have all the bells and whistles of an $800 phone, it is an awesome value for a $200 model. I've been using it for a couple of months and really like it. Battery life is good and the speed is totally usable. Highly recommended if you're looking for a good, inexpensive smart phone.
