Even the best phones aren't invincible. If life takes a toll on your Axon, ZTE has you covered, with the world's best mobile protection plan: Passport 2.0.
Axon Passport costs you nothing to take advantage of, and offers:
* Charges up to $79.99 deductible for out-of-warranty condition repair
Pros: - The Snapdragon 810 is a powerful flagship-grade SoC out of 2015. The overheating issue seems to have been fixed. - Plenty of RAM. Displays 3,631.64MB Total memory. The OS reserves the remainder. - Camera takes very good quality pictures. Dual-tone LEDs are extremely bright. - Display is excellent. 1440P May be unnecessary, but the high pixel density means you will never see pixelated content that supports 1440P. - Metal center body gives a premium feel and helps dissipate heat better than plastic. - With moderate usage, the battery lasts me all day. - Android 6.0 out of the box. ZTE has a very clean and light skin on the OS, never ran into an issue. - Above average earbuds (JBL) out of the box. Not as good as proper JBL products, but these are still better than your standard fare.
Cons: - No fingerprint scanner. ZTE has an Asia-only version of this phone with a fingerprint scanner. Would be convenient. - The only preinstalled app that can not be removed or disabled is "Rock My Run". Would be nice if it could be disabled. - I do not think this phone will receive updates for the remainder of its life. ZTE appears to have abandoned it, but to be fair it is in quite a stable state currently. Would be nice to receive security updates. - No secondary SIM or MicroSD slot. Would be helpful. - Near impossible to root the device or even unlock the bootloader.
Overall Review: For reference, my device is the North American version, specifically Canada. At the "sale" price of $300CAD, this phone is an excellent buy. It has been on "sale" for months now so I'm assuming this is now the regular price. I consider myself a moderate user of their phone, I use it as a flashlight regularly throughout the day, use the camera regularly as part of my job, browse social media sites a few times a day and make a couple phone calls and texts. I usually end the day with over 50% battery remaining. People on their phone constantly texting or browsing Twitter/Facebook/etc. I'd consider heavy users. WiFi and LTE Data take a lot of power. A side note, the included charger supports Quick Charge 2.0, like the phone. It charges extremely fast at lower battery life. Storage space is entirely user-specific. If you don't like to use cloud-based services and take tons of pictures at 4K then yes, you will run out of space. I like to move pictures I'd like to save to something that isn't so likely to get run over by a car or dropped.
