ZTE Axon 7 mini
The ZTE Axon 7 mini was leaked once so
far last month and we expected it to become official in August. Yet here we are
almost at the end of the month and that hasn't happened.
Even so, two online retailers from
Germany have already listed the Axon 7 mini, with one of them even claiming it
has units in stock and ready for dispatch. The handset is priced at €299
unlocked.
The retailers claims the Axon 7 mini's are
actually the specs of its predecessor, the Axon mini from last year. It's
highly unlikely that ZTE would only change the design this time around and
stick with the exact same innards for a new generation of its smaller
Axon-branded handset, so it's unclear what's going on here - and how one
retailer can claim to have Axon 7 mini units in stock while apparently not
knowing its specs.
If nothing else all this probably
signifies that we're getting ever closer to an official announcement of the
Axon 7 mini by ZTE. Perhaps IFA, which starts in a few days, will prove to be
the perfect venue for such an outing.
The new model will be powered by Qualcomm's
Snapdragon 617 SoC, it will sport a 16 MP rear camera, and a 2,705 mAh battery.
It should run Android 6.0 Marshmallow from day one.
