ZTE Axon mini - User Reviews

  • i bought my phone last week and it has been stolen and i want to track it please i need your help

  • I bought this phone in July of 2017 and it's still going strong. I have three complaints about it though. No FM radio, the auto rotate doesn't lock and there's no dark screen clock. When I download a radio or clock from the Paystore they mess up the phone and I have to delete them. Othrwise my needs are simple and I'm pretty satisfied. If they got those three things right it would be a perfect phone.r

  • Hey plz tell me how to enable VoLTE service on axon mini b2016. ZTE customer care executive says this model support jio VoLTE..?? Plz help me

  • Can any one tell me. my ZTE axon mini b2016 model not support jio VoLTE service. But ZTE custemer care executive say axon mini b2016 support VoLTE. Plz tell me guys how to enable VoLTE service...???

  • choose another one like via or cm, you don't need to use what is in the phone from zte.

  • Gearbest website is about 134 euros:

  • Unfortunate that the browser constantly kicks me off the internet (Unfortunately, browser has stopped) all day, every day! Now my ringer sounds and any video sounds is gone, or makes a very weird sound. Not happy with this phone that I bought just barely 3 months ago!

  • This is a good phone if anybody wonts a fast mobile you will have to spend up big this phone is under $200 well worth the money

  • Very nice phone with a few drawbacks: - no Android updates - both cameras are very bad - HSDPA and LTE connections are very weak - it shows many bars but does not perform

  • When android 6 upgrade comes for this phone?

  • this phone is very fit even i can't open mcdonald delivery apps

  • ya zte axon mini premium has the grycpo sensor and it does support 360 videos on youtube though axon mini may not have it,,as there are 2 mini version

  • Good phone, weak support on software. The device will be stock with android 5.1 and no more unfortunatly.

  • will it(zteB2016) be getting android update

  • does it have GYROSCOPE or not? specs say it does, but someone in comments said that it doesn't. please answer, not having gyro is a deal breaker.

  • How can I activate double tap wake up on this device. I thought android like windows phone has this functionality. Othervise its a good phone. No lags, no heating, good battery life, rather fast charging, very good screen and audio.

  • Hi, I too have a ZTE Axon Mini (B2015) & seek advice on teh following: 1.0 How to upgrade it's Android 5.1.1 to the latest version (tried contact ZTE online helpline several times but of no avail at all!!) 2.0 Disappointed that it doesn't seem to have an FM Radio, the most basic to expect and equally basic mind gap of a company as huge as ZTE. Is there any way to get around it & enjoy FM without using the data connection.

  • axon mini is best phone with this price no heating good battery nice display

  • No, only in China!

  • Hey guys, ZTE has rolled out a Android 6 update for the Axon Mini. I got it. UPDATE THIS PAGE.

  • on gearbest ZTE AXON Mini only 134euro :D

  • can anybody tell me where to get good screen protector?

  • Succeed :];];];] Downloaded B09_M to SD card and installed it. Everything works on my b2015 model now! TOTALLY LOVE IT. Paid only 176 EUR from Hong Kong via ebay.com + free shipping plus no tax/fees for customs. :- D Finger print scanner is super quick on my device. Installed Active Launcher which is superb. HOWEVER, was disappointed that there is no offline FM radio app installed. I still believe this chinese b2015 actually has internal FM radio chip.

  • If not be the CMCC/CUCC/CTCC version just do the OTA upgrade, finally you would be the Marshmallow.(B09M) If be the CMCC/CUCC/CTCC version, download the normal version ROM, the best one is marked with B09, you can flash it with your SD card, then OTA to the Marshmallow(marked with B09M) the B09 is Android 5.1.1, B09M is Android 6.0.1

  • How to install Android M on this chinese version phone?

  • just ordered new from ebay.com for 176eur, cant beat he price;] gg.

  • mini? 5.2"? really ZTE? where is then Your Nano Axon? -.- also, 2700mah for this size is tiny battery, competitors have 4100mah in 5" body

  • 1+3 is good option, zte axon not support 4g in india.... pls check

  • problem in ur palm .... mobile size is quite good

  • this mobile better for use

  • This phone does not have gyroscope sensor.that why 360 didn't not function in YouTube or other app

  • Faster charging is amazing Battery is avarage fingerprint responses quickly Totally It is good to use

  • it should not bother someone much, it seems to blend in much with the rest of the back panel and seems of high grade material not plastic

  • Yes, the fake leather is only for the premium model, I have the normal version and it like the picture here, simple plain plastic.

  • from what i found, i'm guessing fake leather is only on "premium" edition (with force touch) can anyone confirm this?

  • from what i found, i'm guessing fake leather is only on "premium" edition (with force touch) can anyone confirm this?

  • hey gsmarena i dont see sar value anymore,and is not only for this phone...what you do guys

  • why i can not watch 360° video at youtube? Anybody try it?

  • Hi. Anyone know if there will be custom root and twrp? I really need xposed

  • I would buy it right now. But .. the FAKE LEATHER plastic on top and bottom is just disgusting :/. not in this picture but its in all unboxing videos.

  • hi I want to buy this mobile, how is the screen display & overall quality. how much the price & from where we can buy it..thax

  • Hey people, I am new guy on this site and I've got a lot of good mobile some are good in usage and some are good in looks but the people using it they knows these very well so I need some suggestions. I like three mobiles on this site ZTE Axon elite and Axon mini and the third is Lenovo Vibe shot. I am confused in these to choose which one but I need a mobile of good usage so please suggest me which one is good in usage with no hanging and heating problem and must have a good battery life as I have very good use of all the day and night. Please help me in sorting this out. Thank you.

  • mini ?.... too big in my palm... hrrrr big big big mini mini big mini... mini big

  • Definetely no Dual speakers. however I dont know anything about FM Radio but I thing it is not packed in.

  • 2 questions? Does it have; FM Radio available? Dual front facing speakers?

  • Dual Camera?! The bottom one is Flash, not Camera.

  • so microSD uses sim slot?

  • Wait....why is that unfortunate? Do you know the disadvantages of removable back?

  • Battery is not-removable (unfortunately)...

  • ZTE is the new HTC. I've been very happy with their Bade Vec 4G, awesome phone, great camera and display, good battery life, sound, everything was great, except maybe for build quality/finish level which hopefully is better with these new models. But I would definitely say they are more reliable than what HTC has been putting out lately. Way to go ZTE!

  • This phone has Force Touch screen, gsmarena. Just like the 128gb version of Huawei Mate S

  • The gold colour is really not gold at all so I wouldn't worry. It's called Ion Gold but it's really a mix of gold and silver. It's really hard to place on the spectrum, but it veers towards the champagne sort of shade. Definitely not a gold like the tacky bling you get on other phones.

  • Hi guys I got this phone and I can say that worth definitely the price .the screen has an really awesome colours and has got very smart customizations that I ve never found on others smartphones.the battery life is very very good(better than s6) the sistem is pretty fast no lags.the camera is pretty good ,the front as well.is very very light.it is a very good deal with a very nice features. I can say it has many different thing than a normal stock android.the signal is the best compared with all the phones I had.

  • It doesnt have dual camera

  • Pls could somebody tell me where to buy the silver version, i've only found the phone in gold....

  • Just like to know, is that this model got the Radio function..??

  • unfortunately "Card2:GSM:B2/3/5/8" does not tell us if it supports GPRS or EDGE. Basic GSM only has a data rate of 9.6kbps. EDGE goes up to 384kbps, and is still not 3G. So it is unclear if the second SIM card supports just GSM data or GPRS or EDGE.

  • That information is available on ZTE website. Here is it: Band Dual SIM Dual Standby(DSDS) Card1:FDD-LTE:B1/3/7/8/12/17/20 TDD-LTE:B38/40/41 WCDMA:B2/5/8 GSM:B2/3/5/8 CDMA:BC0 Card2:GSM:B2/3/5/8

  • If you mean the display protection then yes. The display is covered with gorilla glass. And I'm not guessing, I've got that phone. It's clearly stated at the sticker covering the screen of a new phone.

  • Just watch the picture! Fingerprint scanner.

  • Does anybody have clear information about which speeds/bands are supported by SIM1 and SIM2? It is clear that SIM1 supports everything listed in the specifications. But there is conflicting information on the web that says SIM2 either supports only 2G, or 2G+3G (EDGE/GPRS and maybe HSDPA), or even LTE. Can anybody confirm the actual specification for SIM2?

  • seems not and if it had It would have been a really nice phone

  • This is good stuff

  • who can i this buy

  • has it any protection?

  • Is this phone available in any store?

  • It's smaller than the normal Axon, with 5.2" vs. 5.5".

  • I like the dual camera feature.

  • What does the mini refer to. cuz the phone is not small. Or they trying to say u will get minimal tech support for the device

  • Wow... Amazing...great work zte.. Love it.. Cost just 320usds.

  • I very much like the design language of ZTE axon. I just don't like the dual camera setup.

  • Hopefully this will be available in Finland in the near future. Specs seems competitive and in my opinion, the phone looks amazing.

  • I usually prefer clean and simple look. But this phone with all its accent, looks very beautifull.

  • Do we have ZTE here in the Philippines?? coz I really like ZTE smartphones.

  • Not bad compare to others.
