ZTE Axon 7 mini now up for pre-order in the US

ZTE Axon 7 mini has been around for a while, launching in Europe back in September. Now, the time has finally arrived for this 5.2-inch Android handset to hit the US. Although its design makes it look like a smaller ZTE Axon 7, the specs have been pushed down as well. Thankfully, they did the same with the price.

ZTE Axon 7 mini is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 octa-core processor with Adreno 405 graphics, next to 3 GB memory and 32 GB internal storage. The 5.2-inch display has 1,920X1,080 pixels, while the cameras offer 8 MP (front) and 16 MP (back). The list of connectivity features is complete - 4G LTE, NFC, USB Type-C, WiFi 802.11 ac, and Bluetooth 4.1.

In the US, the handset is listed with a price tag of $299.98 USD. For just $100 USD more, the ZTE Axon 7 packs a 5.5-inch display with 2,560X1,440 pixels, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, 4 GB RAM, and 64 GB storage. A far better deal, obviously.
