ZTE Axon Elite - User Reviews

  • I get missed calls too, just little vibrate when call ends but nothing coming on screen while ringing

  • Questions 1. Does the phone heats up same as the rest of the 810-powered smartphones? 2. Does it have twrp and custom rom? Answers are much appreciated.

  • Unfortunately no android update. No marshmallow and no nougat.

  • can you clarify more as i have this problem (i didn't get notification from the face book and sometimes missed calls)

  • This phone is amazing. Great batterylife, nice design and loud speaker! Good that there is almost no bloadware, and you can uninstall all apps incl. Google apps. What i not like is the software, the icons are ugly, and there is no app-drawer. Camera could be better (especially in low light situations). Totally not like that this phone will not get Marshmallow!!! Considering this phone is only about 1 year ago released, it lacks of support by ZTE.

  • Regarding all the delay in notification, it is because the OS will set all apps for power saving, meaning the OS will auto close the apps until no notification. To prevent this, you need to manually lock the apps to prevent it from being closed, or set the apps to be able to run in background. These power saving implementation are common among China brand smartphone, such as Xiaomi, OPPO, Vivo, Meizu, Huawei and ZTE.

  • hi, i want 2 buy it, how i get this fon n Pakistan?

  • I could not have a chance to compare camera. this also has Sony camera. Os is user friendly. this can use without any afraid. more strong. sony need more care. but these are depend on you. has dual camera. give good quality pictures even in low light. Manual mode give chance to make better images. sound hifi sound. surely I can say elite more attractive than Sony. it is beautiful. display same as sony. battery stand more than sony z.

  • Which one do you recommend? Axon elite or xperia z3+ dual ? Thanks

  • this is a awesome phone. i love this phone. design is fantastic. some told that has delay the notification problem. it has a function to delay notifications if you like. change settings in the notification part. i think camera is better than huawei. dual camera is great. has refocus function, great selfy, can overlaps pictures and make different thing. has light painting. great battery life. quick charging superb sound. speaker has high sound. can hear call clearly.

  • Phone will not unlock when in flip case take it out of case and it works. Does the magnet in the case case issue with sensor,

  • Is your problem solved or still exist ?

  • @td93 can u please tell me from where did u buy this phone in saudi ? do u recomend this phone ? especially after counting the no. of problems here at the bottom!

  • Starting at around 875 SAR

  • Hi, does anybody know the SAR value of this phone? thank you.

  • Nice phone. An all day long battery, a perfect bt-car compatibility, wifi cast works fine on smart TV, an accurate Wi-Fi signal. The photoshooter refocus is Just awesome. The eyeball scanner is a little bit long with 2 swipes before scanning (3-4 sec) but works perfectly even in the dark, the fingerprint is quicker to unlock. A singular and futuristic phone for an average price.

  • It's awesome under good light and very good in dark.

  • I want to know about its picture quality?

  • This phone has so many probelms and not solved despite sending much reminder to the main company. 1) sms comes in late. 15-30 mins late. how do u do iBanking, internet purchase when the One time password expires in 2 mins? 2) if u dont physically open up whatsapp by clicking on it, the notifications wont come in. u dont know who messaged u. 3) if u add a country code in front of the number u saved in your contacts, the phone is unable to detect the number when the person is calling and unable to know who is calling u from your address book. 4) it practically hangs on my in car media system when connected by bluetooth. imagine being connected to bluetooth inside a car and unable to talk via bluetooth. after which whole in car media system gets error and only work upon restarting the CAR. how bad is this phone? tell me about it.

  • gorilla glas 2.5 d

  • not gorilla glass version !!! how come :S

  • anyone test the dual sim card? able to detect auto roaming?

  • nice phone

  • this phone should have a review

  • it nice and different look, what about its battery ability and what about its speed?

  • Only in gold??? Great phone ruined.

  • Actually I don't care about price but the lack of Wi-Fi 802.11ac makes not to buy this epic fail.

  • When in Mexico?

  • usd 700 for a chinese phone!!!! i know its really good but usd 700 is so much

  • If it has an eye scanner, it will work under normal lighting conditions though.

  • ZTE Axon elite has an eye scanner,to unlock the screen the screen will scan your eyes and then BOOM,pretty impressive technology
