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
