ZTE Axon - User Reviews

  • Love the axon, but I have noticed that the phone will overheat to an unsettling degree when charging

  • I own an A1R and although it has heat issues, it does update to 6.0.1

  • agree with you 100% after coming updates this garbage frozen and stop working

  • Very disappointing device. Android 5.1.1 and no option (at least for me) to upgrade the OS means basic apps will not run.

  • i own one! pretty unique looking phone, stable performance, excellent sound quality both speaker and headphones(dac). terrible gsm strength!!! suddenly one i started getting 0, yes zero signal from any carrier i choose. worst part is, the customer care listed in my country, i went there and found a closed garage!!!

  • on Axon A1?

  • Since when?

  • No.

  • Thank you ,I'm updating now

  • You are now able to update from v5.1.1 to v6.0.1

  • Absolutely the best phone I have ever had!!

  • The two cameras are to register depth

  • I hate this phone, II just got it and I despise it. This is is due to the fact that my front camera makes me look like I have a paint filter on my face and makes my face look smudged. Also when i try to open one of my social media accounts, like Snapchat for instance the camera glitches and keep in mind that it is brand new and is already glitching. My suggestion is to get a better phone from an android company that is well known such as Samsung or LG even the nexus isn't that bad. I am going to return this phone. One word to explain this phone is disappointed.

  • Hello everyone.... After 20 days with this device we have to say Its a great phone... Android is very well optimized here it runs very smooth ... Cammera is very decent great photos in daylight conditions... After 3 software updates it gets better adding 4K Video recording ... hope someday they develop 3D recording as well (LoL) Battery runs an entire day with no problems even much moore than a day... Audio quality is excelente besides it includes in package a 50 dollar value headset from JBL that sounds very powerfull with the Dolby audio of the Axon. Wifi is awesome.. great speed... downloads are realy very fast. The design gives a phone with personality ... you wont get confused with this cell when you see it out there you'll say Oh look it's an Axon Phone.. jajaja And the display is the best Superb quality for an IPS panel the blacks are actually very good the resolution is awesome the details are exquisit... and it offers 3 color profiles there's one called "Polo" that exceeds your expectations on color for this type of screens. Antoher very very nice touch is the cammera dedicated button that even lets you turn the phone on with a double click on it accesing directly the cammera software, alson front cammera does a great job in selfies with the Beautify feature oh! and is 8mpx out ! But its not perfect... for it's value (not so low for as we expected) ZTE missed out the fingerprint that is present in the other models of the serie like Axon Pro, Mini or Elite.. why..? now they are rolling out the Blade A2 a phone with a lower price and it have the fingerprint ! Other negative stuff is that tehy missed out an SD Card slot ... tough it have 32 Gb ROM that gives 25 Gb aprox for the user... but don't limit my possibilities please ! And a better GPU could be used in this model according to the date it was manufactured... Generaly is an "hybrid" between mid-range phones and high-range phones... like AnTuTu says is a mid-high device That surely will satisfy your needs Like we sayd an excelnet phone but if you want top performance get the Axon Elite... hope ZTE reads my post and offers to change my Axon for the Axon Elite jajajajaja.. Best regards to all of you..

  • The camera doesnt work for me as well. Only on software from play store works for me

  • Great value smarphone that can play 32bit 192Khz music files. However its software camera doesn't work for me, I have to use one from playstore. I suggested for the future ZTE don't confuse with too much model. Axon Lux, Pro and Elite mean the same thing, it shoud be just one model.

  • Same as HTC M8, for changing focus after taking shot.

  • One is a wide angle lens, the other isn't. One is good for selfies, the other for normal photos

  • Why two back cameras?????

  • Yeah...

  • A different look . Not bad .
