2-Minute Review

Let's cut through the noise, and get to the crux of it. 2 Expert Reviews analysed and summarised by the PhoneCurry Editorial Team, in a short and sweet 2-minute review.

Design

  • Good design, and choice of materials
  • Looks and feels good in the hand
  • Compact and ergonomic
  • Optional unlocking methods - iris-scanning via the frontal camera, and voice unlock - are both poorly implemented
  • Fingerprint reader is often inaccurate too

Display

  • Nice AMOLED display with wide viewing angles

Software

  • MiFavor UI is undercooked, laggy, and unintuitive and leaves a lot to be desired in both form and function

Camera

  • Average front and rear cameras

Audio

  • Good call quality
  • Decent loudspeaker

Battery

  • Good battery life - easily lasts a full day
  • Fast charging support

More

  • The Axon Mini's Force Touch is meant to emulate the iPhone 6s functionality, but is poorly implemented, and feels unnatural
  • On the whole it feels like ZTE has a lot of 'cool/unique' features on paper, but very few things are well implemented
