ZTE today began taking preorders for the Axon 7, its flagship smartphone for 2016.
Consumers interested in ordering the unlocked Android handset can do so via ZTEUSA.com, Amazon, B&H, Best Buy, and Newegg. ZTE announced the Axon 7 earlier this year.
It features a 5.5-inch quad HD display with 2.5D curved glass, and it is powered by a 2.2 GHz Snapdragon 820 processor with 4 GB of RAM. The 3,140mAh battery supports Quick Charge 3.0 and can deliver a 50% charge in 30 minutes.
The main camera includes a 20-megapixel sensor from Samsung with optical and electronic image stabilization, sapphire lens, and an aperture of f/1.8. The selfie camera has an 8-megapixel sensor.
Other features include dual AKM HiFi audio chipsets, Dolby Atmos software, stereo speakers, support for Google’s Daydream virtual reality platform, support for memory cards, and a quick fingerprint sensor.
The Axon 7 ships with Android 6 Marshmallow and supports the majority of U.S. LTE bands. The Axon 7 is sold with Axon Passport 2.0, ZTE’s two-year warranty plan that protects consumers from busted screens and other damage. The phone costs $399 and will ship starting July 17.
