Lixin Cheng, CEO of the United States’ division of ZTE, officially announced the ”late 2018 or early 2019” arrival of ZTE’s first 5G smartphone. Exact date of release depends on, quote, ”availability of 5G networks and the requisite chipsets”. Both Verizon and AT&T have announced that they will be rolling out their own 5G networks by the end of the year, so the 5G connectivity of ZTE will actually be useful. T-Mobile wants to do the same by 2020. ...

Axon 7 initially launched in 2016 with Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Half an year later, in October, smartphone’s OS was updated to Android 7.0. For a long time there was no word on another OS update for the smartphone – until now. ZTE has officially announced that they are working on updating the Axon 7’s operating system to 8.0 Oreo. The update has no known ETA, though, so it will be done ”when it is done”. What we do know is the update will feature new ”Stock and UI”, whatever that may exacly ...

ZTE can be seen slowly taking hold in the United States of America, largerly thanks to the relatively low cost of their phones and prepaid wireless service provider tie. ZTE’s newly found success in the land of freedom and justice will not, though, help a one and a half-year old Axon 7 from being discontinued. The phone is reported to be out of production, so after the stock available is gone from the stores, that is it, game over, man, game over. It is already out of stock in the OEM’s official US store. It can still be found on Amazon, where it costs $399.99. Grab them while ...

We have had leaks and rumours about Axom M for quite some time now; today , though, is the day when the phone becomes officially revealed. If I were to sum up what we are being told about the phone, I would say that its dual display certainly makes it stand out from the crowd, but other than that gimmick there is nothing special about it. It has an okay camera but no rear one; the battery is too small for dual display; the CPU is tad too old etc etc.Specification:– dimensions: 150,8 x 71,6 x 12,1 mm,– weight: 230 gram,– foldable dual display, 5.2′, TFT LCD, FHD, ...
