ZTE
Axon Elite
ZTE's
Axon brand already launched in China and the US and by the end of the month it
will set off for the rest of the world with the ZTE Axon Elite leading the way.
The initial rollout will concentrate on Europe and will go through eBay.
Starting
September 24 the phone will be available in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and
the UK for € 420 and £ 300 respectively. Soon after that ZTE will open up a more
traditional retail channel in partnership with MediaMarkt retail chain in
Germany. Brick-and-mortar availability will expand to Spain and France later
on.
Going forward, the ZTE Axon Elite will add more stamps to its visa: Turkey, Mexico, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Russia and the Philippines.
The
highlights of the Axon Elite include a dual-camera setup (13 MP for photos + 2 MP
for depth effects), three-fold biometric security (fingerprint, voice and eye
scanning), 5.5" 1080p screen and Snapdragon 810 chipset.
Note
that this is different from the Axon Pro that's sold in the US and
which we've reviewed recently. The major differences are the
Pro model has a QHD screen, but lacks the biometric authentication methods.
