ZTE Axon 7

zte axon 7As far as smartphones go, ZTE is relatively unknown in the US, but the Chinese company's latest smartphone should help change that.
The new Axon 7 smartphone is ZTE's latest premium flagship smartphone, and it could truly give the Samsung Galaxy S7 a run for its money, even more so than the other big smartphones from LG, HTC, and Motorola.
The Axon 7 offers high-end specs for at least $100 less than other premium flagships from well-known companies.
Check out the Axon 7 to see how it can compete with the latest and greatest Android smartphones.

To design the Axon 7, ZTE collaborated with BMW's design arm Designworks, which also designed the BMW X series and the two-man bobsled for the USA Olympic Bobsledding team.

On paper, the 20-megapixel camera has all the makings of a great shooter. It has optical image stabilization (OIS) to compensate for shaky hands and an f/1.8 aperture for good low-light performance. But only a camera test will prove if it's worthy.
