The total package of ZTE's Axon Mini Premium Edition is attractive, especially with a street price of approximately 300 Euros (~$333), even though it has some shortcomings. The flagship idea was not finished consistently, and thus "only" a good...

A speedy handset with a decent screen, let down by performance issues and a truly bewildering design that does little to establish the ‘premium feel’ ZTE promises.

At just under £230, the ZTE Axon Mini is for the most part a handset worth considering. The UI needs a lot of work and the phone as a whole could have been refined a little more before hitting the market, but it boasts respectable performance, a nice...

ZTE Axon Mini Premium Edition – Camera The Axon mini has a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera, which is the same as the OnePlus X and the Moto G. The results from the rear-facing lens aren't going to astound anyone, but they're also not terrible. For a...

It's with a heavy heart that we knock a few beer mugs off the Axon Mini Premium Edition's score. It's undoubtedly a very well-built device, with a crisp, colourful screen and far more features than might be expected for £229.99.Nonetheless, the...

ZTE has added quite a bit of extra value with the pressure-sensitive display, the fingerprint reader and the high-end audio. The 3GB of RAM is also good to see, as is 32GB of storage. But, the processor doesn't match the rest of the...

That is more or less it. The ZTE Axon Mini (Premium Edition) is a very capable mid-range device which puts focus on sound and security. Its display is also really, really good, and the battery life is slightly above average as well. The camera is...

So, there you have, the ZTE Axon Mini Premium with a pressure sensitive display tech. I have to tell you that there is a lot to love about this phone. It all starts with great design and all-aluminum-titanium body makes it look like an expensive...

So far I am super intrigued with the ZTE Axon Mini. I'm excited by the cool unique tech packed in to the slim body, I wonder how well optimised the battery and performance will be, and most of all I want to figure out who exactly ZTE are aiming this...
