ZTE AXON announced 2 new phones and a smartwatch

ZTE's AXON has been known for making great looking smartphones that have some flagship specs for a price that doesn't break the bank. And that continues when they announced two new phones and a new smartwatch earlier this week.

The first phone on the list is the AXON Mini, which was actually announced earlier this year in July. It has a 5.2-inch AMOLED FHD 2.5D Curved-edge screen and it is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 616 Octa-Core SoC, there is also 3GB of RAM assisting the processor, and the Adreno 405 GPU. There is 32GB of storage inside but can be expanded to 128GB via a MicroSD card slot. The AXON Mini will only be just 3.5mm thin and 70mm wide, and very small bezels at just 0.85mm. The rear facing camera is a 13-megapixel shooter with PDAF (Phase Detection Auto Focus) which will allow the camera to focus in just 0.1 seconds. The front camera has 8-megapixels and also has 5P aspherical lenses. The phone also has a dual-microphone setup and an AKM4961 Hi-Fi audio chipset that will provide users with 32-bit Hi-Fi audio and superior sound recordings.

The Mini will be sold for $379USD, while there will be a "Mini Premium" model, but no specifications were given. Additionally, there will be an NBA edition, but no details what that means. It will also come in Ion Gold, Chromium Silver and Rose Gold color options, and it will be made out of Boeing 787 aircraft-grade aluminum-titanium alloy.

There is little detail about the AXON Max, but ZTE claims that the phone is coming soon, and there have been several reports about what specifications the phone would have. There have been solid reports however, that claim that the Max will have a 6-inch QuadHD display, the Snapdragon 810 SoC and 4GB of RAM, as well as Hi-Fi Audio since all of AXON's other phones have that feature.

The last product they announced this week was the AXON Watch, which was also announced earlier in July. It features a 1.4-inch Gorilla Glass screen with a Sapphire coating. As per most smartwatches, it features 512MB of RAM and 4GB of storage for the user to use. There will also be a 300mAh battery and Bluetooth 4.1. One downside, the watch isn't powered by Android Wear. It is being powered by Tencent OS, because ZTE partnered with Tencent when the device was made. QQ and WeChat are integrated into the device, as well. It will go on sale in China on October 27th from ZTE's online store called MyZTE.
