ZTE Axon 7 mini makes waves in UK, gets discounted in US

The smaller ZTE Axon 7 model is beginning to make itself apparent in the marketplace at large.

Carphone Warehouse in the UK has launched the Axon 7 Mini on its site and is the exclusive source for the Snapdragon 617-equipped mini-loudmouth — even with its shrunken size compared to the regular Axon 7, we’re still talking about some major speakers. Customers can grab it in gold SIM-free for £249.99. The grey color should come soon.

If you’re in the US, prepare for a major discount at Best Buy as both gold and grey colors are going on sale from their $299 price marks starting December 4: it’ll be $249 for the Platinum Grey version and $199 for the Ion Gold one.

The deal will be available through December 10.

ZTE Axon 7 Mini First Impressions: A petite powerhouse?

Reviewing the full sized Axon 7 was a very happy surprise. That phone delivered an incredible bang for its $399 buck. ZTE is back at it with a phone that continues the same design language, but arrives for $100 less.The Axon 7 Mini isn’t THAT much of a mini in terms of size. About 4mm shorter and thinner, but with the same depth, and shrinking the screen from 5.5″ to 5.3″. Just about everything gets a trim here. The processor, the RAM, the storage, and we would expect that from a “mini” device. We are curious to test the audio and camera performance here ...

ZTE Axon 7 mini Hands-on: It’s Not a Size Difference, Really

As it stands, the Axon 7 has already garnered ZTE lots of positive reputation for 2016, but the company is out for more with its announcement of the new ZTE Axon 7 mini. Now, it seems that companies haven’t really taken the name mini into account, considering that the Axon 7 mini is really just 0.3 inches smaller than the Axon 7. There is more to the story though, as this isn’t really that much of a small phone, and more of a device that we could call a premium mid-ranger.Watch our full hands-on video to learn more.Video sponsored by

ZTE Axon 7 mini packs quite a punch in not-so-tiny body

And so it has come to this. 5.2-inch smartphones marketed as diminutive flagships. Or, as ZTE puts it in its Axon 7 mini-announcing press release, proof “power, performance and premium experience does not have to lack in a smaller form factor.”Smaller by just 0.3 inches, mind you, in screen diagonal, 4mm as far as device height goes, another 4 in width, and a “massive” 22 grams less in weight. Not long ago, the ZTE Axon 7 mini would have probably been deemed a giant, but now all of a sudden it’s ...
