Double screen and it becomes a 'tablet'
If it weren't for its main feature, the ZTE Axon M would be one more mobile that joins the Asian catalog. However, their two 5,2-inch screens joined by a hinge, they make it very special. Both panels are identical: same size and same resolution (Full HD).
Now, This form factor determines both its final weight (230 grams) and its thickness (12,1 millimeters). Now, working with an extended desk will be like being in front of a tablet. Likewise, this also allows the ZTE Axon M to run two applications at the same time; one on each screen.
Power, memory and storage
From ZTE they have not opted for the latest Qualcomm processor, but have decided to include one of the top of the range from previous generations. We are talking about Qualcomm Snapdragon 821, a quad-core chip with a working frequency of 2,15 GHz.
To this we will have to add a 4 GB RAM -It is not one of the smartphones that have the most, but it is not one of the least. While its storage capacity is based on a 64 GB internal space, above average. And it's good news that companies are no longer basing their models on ridiculous 16GB capacities. Also, the ZTE Axon M allows you to use MicroSD memory cards of up to 256 GB. So saving files of any kind will not be a problem for him.
Connections and camera
ZTE's new dual-screen mobile is committed to all kinds of connections. You will be able to use high speed WiFi; Bluetooth is low power and you can use latest generation 4G networks to achieve a web browsing very similar to that of home.
The ZTE Axon M also has a fingerprint reader integrated into the on / off button, as well as you will also have a GPS module and a 3,5 mm audio jack. In terms of sound, the ZTE Axon M has Dolby Atmos technology to achieve surround sound. Although this is also thanks to its two integrated speakers.
As for the photographic part, thanks to the particular design of the smartphone, we will only have one camera. That is, it will work as both a rear camera and a front camera. The sensor is 20 megapixels; It is accompanied by a dual LED flash and can record videos in 4K quality.
Battery and operating system
The ZTE Axon M battery reaches up to 3.180 milliamps capacity. This will make it easier for us to get to the end of the day. In addition, this mobile has Qualcomm technology that allows you to enjoy a fast charge (up to 4 times higher than a normal charge) called Quick Charge 3.0.
On the other hand, ZTE's new plagable mobile is based on Android. And the version that will be factory installed is Android 7.1.2 Nougat. At the moment there is no news of Android Oreo or Android 8.0.
Price and Availability
The ZTE Axon M will hit the market later this year in the US market through an exclusive with the AT&T operator. Nevertheless, ZTE has already confirmed that over the months it will also appear in other markets in Europe and Asia. Although no names or an exact price for the terminal have been confirmed.
