Back in October 2017, ZTE launched an experimental
phone named the Axon M. The selling point of this smartphone is the use of two
identical screens that are connected via hinges. Many have been thinking this
phone won’t succeed. But the company thinks it can be the future of
smartphones, and it is going to launch identical handsets in coming years. But
before that, the manufacturer has decided to enter the biggest market in the
world, China. A few days back the ZTE Axon M was announced for the Chinese
market. Today the company officially made it available for purchase.
The ZTE Axon M comes with two 5.2-inch screen
providing a 1080p resolution. But when the phone is completely opened the
screen size will become 6.8 inches. So you can use it as a regular tablet. But
there are various modes such as classic mode, large screen mode, split-screen
mode, and mirror mode. The most attractive of them is the split screen mode
that allows users to run separate apps on each of displays just identical to
the same experience on a regular PC.
The rest of features include a Snapdragon 821 chip,
4+64GB or 6+128GB of memory combinations, a 20MP camera, a 3180mAh battery
supporting QC3.0 fast charge. The 4+64GB variant is priced at 3888 yuan (US$ 603),
while the 6+128GB model is available for 4888 yuan (US$ 758).
At last, the ZTE Axon M will have successors. Jeff
Yee, VP Technology Planning, and Partnerships at ZTE said in an interview ‘they
will eventually make some really flexible folding devices, and over time, we might
add more and more amazing features.’ Shortly, they think this can become a
mainstream, and they want to become a founder of that trend.
