The ZTE Axon 7 Mini is a solid mid-range phone let down by poor battery life and unwanted software changes.

The Axon 7 Mini falls short of being the platonic ideal of a “mini” phone, one that takes a flagship, features intact, and gives us a handset with a smaller screen. Instead, it practically turns that approach on its head, barely decreasing size at all,...

The unlocked ZTE Axon 7 Mini's lower price comes at the cost of significantly pared down hardware. It's a decent midrange Android phone, but the Axon 7 is a better deal.

ZTE was able to carry over many positive aspects from its flagship smartphone Axon 7 to the smaller Axon 7 Mini. This includes the great chassis and the good speakers, but the FHD-AMOLED panel is also convincing except for the somewhat inaccurate...

There's a lot to recommend the Axon 7 Mini if you're in the market for a phone that won't break the bank. This device retains the same great design as the flagship-challenging Axon 7, while making acceptable trade-offs in performance to keep the price...

The Axon 7 Mini may look like the more capable Axon 7, but it's not up to par with its performance. Spring for the more expensive model if Axon is the way you want to...

ZTE Axon 7 Mini – Camera The ZTE Axon 7 Mini breaks away from the norm by using a Samsung ISOCELL main camera instead of the Sony models we tend to see most of the time. It's a 16-megapixel sensor, so sounds rather high-end. It's a fair performer, but...

ZTE launched the Axon 7 Mini at $299, which is way too high for this phone to be competitive. Since launch, though, it's fallen in price and has hovered around $199 pretty permanently, which definitely puts the phone in a place where you should...

The “mini” iterative design treatment has been done many times before, and almost every manufacturer has been guilty of it. In this case, the Axon 7 Mini hasn't slimmed down that overtly, except the parts swapped out to squeeze everything in for the...

The ZTE Axon 7 mini may not be the most powerful smartphone for the price of about $300 if you only care about the sheer specs but it is a pretty solid midrange smartphone nevertheless.It is definitely a looker thanks to the excellent all-metal build,...

The ZTE Axon 7 Mini is a pretty good smartphone from ZTE. It's not what most people would call a “mini” smartphone though. Which is a bit unfortunate, but it is still small enough to be used with one hand, which is definitely nice to see, seeing as most...

The ZTE Axon 7 Mini isn't quite the star like its bigger sister the Axon 7 is. But it is a lovely, well-designed, smaller phone that doesn't break the bank and manages to look a lot more expensive than it is. So while the Axon 7 is the epitome of...

The ZTE Axon 7 Mini shrinks the very likable Axon 7 mid-range phone from the Chinese company. It's easier to hold in one hand and more affordable, if you don't need a powerful phone or Verizon and Sprint support in the...

In conclusion, the ZTE Axon 7 mini will probably push the Axon brand down to the ~$300 level, and it is a very good spot to aim at. At this price point, the obvious competition would be the Google Nexus 5, the Sony XPERIA Z3+ and HTC One M9 and all of...

Going by specs alone, the Axon 7 Mini should have been a hit. Decent power, an OLED screen and a metal build for under £300? Sounds great. It's a shame things don't pan out once you get one in your hand, though. The UI isn't great, the camera is merely...
