The ZTE Axon 7S comes
with some nice upgrade over the Axon 7 and a cleaner design due to the absence
of the front speaker grills found on last year’s flagship. Since April when the
flagship was announced, there have been no details on pricing and availability
but the Axon 7S has now gone up for sale in China, arriving with a whopping 4599
Yuan (US$ 675) price tag.
The ZTE Axon 7S is powered by a Snapdragon 821 chip,
as against the Snapdragon 820 on the Axon 7. The upgrade also includes coming
with 6GB of RAM which is higher than the 4GB RAM on its predecessor. The
storage also sees an upgrade from 64GB to a massive and roomier 128GB storage.
However, the Axon 7S features a similar 5.5-inch Quad HD display that is
available on the Axon 7. The new phone also features a microSD card slot and
carries support for Google Daydream.zte axon 7s
The Axon 7S packs a dual camera setup with a 20MP
Sony IMX350 main sensor (1.25µm pixels) and a 12MP Sony IMX368 camera sensor
(1µm pixels) from Sony. For selfies, the ZTE Axon 7s continues to sport an 8MP
snapper like its predecessor. The device is fuelled by a 3,400 mAh which is
larger the 3,250 mAh battery present inside the Axon 7. The Axon 7s carries
support for Quick Charge 3.0 fast charging through USB Type-C port.
The ZTE Axon 7S is presently available on Jingdong
(JD.com) and carried a massive price tag of 4599 Yuan (US$ 675). The price is way
higher than some of the Snapdragon 835-powered flagships we have seen this year
so, we are in a fix how ZTE hopes to pull the competition. It is still not
known when the Axon 7S will be available outside China.
