A First look at the premium yet budget-friendly ZTE Axon 7
It is like kind of comparison with OnePlus 3 in a Canadian Networks

ZTE’s Axon 7 is gunning for the would-be flagship killer OnePlus 3, and on specs alone, it might just succeed.

The device has a premium full-metal design, high-end competitive Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 quad-core processor and a 20MP camera, all for $529.99 CAD– only slightly more than the OnePlus 3’s impressive $519.00 price tag.

The handset is available for preorder now via online retailer Newegg Canada and will start shipping to Canadian customers on July 27th.

We’ll have a full review on the device out in the next few weeks, but until then, here’s a first gallery and rundown of the Axon 7.

The Marshmallow-powered Axon 7 puts itself in league with other premium flagships with its 5.5-inch 2560 x 1440 pixel display overlaid with Gorilla Glass Gen. 4. In this respect it outpaces its main competitor, the OnePlus 3 (OP3), which features a 5.5-inch AMOLED 1920 x 1080 pixel display.​

ZTE says the Axon 7’s full-metal unibody was inspired by “luxury cars,” and it’s fair to say the aesthetic played out well. The truly premium-looking phone comes in Ion Gold or Quartz Gray and has a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. Under the hood, so to speak, is a 2.15 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 quad-core processor (essentially the same as the OP3) and an Integrated Qualcomm Adreno 530 for graphics processing.​

The Axon 7’s main camera is 20MP with a f/1.8 aperture, comparing favourably (at least on paper) to the OP3’s 16MP and f/2.0 aperture shooter. The camera also has a dual-LED flash, Optical Image Stabilization and is capable of capturing 4K video and 30 FPS 1080p video. The front-facing camera is a capable 8MP.​

The bulk is a slight detractor for the Axon 7. Its dimensions run 151.7 x 75 x 7.9mm and it weighs in at 175 grams, quite a bit heftier than the 158 gram OP3.​

The device packs a 3,250 mAh non-removable battery promising 16 hours of talk time and 360 hours of standby. This is a slight bump from the OP3’s 3,000 mAh battery. ZTE states the phone’s USB Type-C charging technology should provide a full charge in 100 minutes.​

One of the leading bullet points of ZTE’s marketing copy is that the Axon 7 features America’s first 32-bit HiFi mobile audio. The device further shows its dedication to sound with dual speakers and microphones and Dolby ATMOS surround sound.​

Quote: first hand expereince by a potencial buyer at the Canadian Store

 I saw one at the Canadian open yesterday and it is really nice. The in hand feel seemed good but tough to tell with the security measures strapped to it. The brief time I had with it left me with a positive impression as it was fluid and fast, and I have a oneplus 3 already

 

hope it helps but more to come, Thanks

Okay. No problem.

Mine shipped today and I was supposed to have it by Wednesday this week. But then UPS said "severe weather" had delayed it, so I have no idea. Hopefully this week. I got the B&H deal with the gift card and Samsung wireless earphones (odd??).
 
Going to laugh when my $399 phone comes with a decent wireless headphone and the iPhone 7 comes out without any and no headphone jack

Anyone else who can compare it to the V10, please do

 

[Niyologist]

Got an order confirmation from Newegg. It should ship out by tomorrow morning.

Anyone see the PC Magazine review? Specifically this statement?
 
"Wired audio through the 3.5mm audio jack isn't nearly as thundering as it is through the HTC 10's 1V headphone amp."
 
**sigh** Please let this not be true.

Everyone else thinks that's it's more than powerful enough. As long as it's stronger than my ZenFone 2, it will be more than sufficient.

One more thing to add.

It uses the AK4961 Amplifier.

Understood, I was just concerned that they directly compared it to the HTC 10 and found it to be quieter. Loud enough it may be, but quieter than the HTC 10 by enough of a margin to mention it in a review still concerns me.
