The ZTE Axon Elite is one of the most interesting proposals that we are seeing these days. A mobile with a generous 5.5-inch screen that supports its proposal on three main pillars: on the one hand, it has a very careful design in gold metal with a slightly curved back and several areas with a leather touch. On the other hand, it integrates a double rear camera to play with the focus and blur of different parts of the photo. Finally, it integrates a dual-chip audio system to create a Hi-Fi sound experienceboth in recording and playback. But the best thing about this mobile is that, due to its characteristics, it is a very powerful and complete high-end smartphone. However, for its sale price it corresponds to a mid-range equipment. The ZTE Axon Elite goes on the market with a price of around 420 euros. We tell you all the details in a thorough analysis.
Design and display
Without a doubt, one of the strengths of the Axon Elite is in its design. The Asian company has used a metal body with a slightly curved casing and a rose gold hue that increases its appeal. In addition, on the back we have two stripes (in the upper and lower area) that imitate the touch and look of leather in the same golden hue and that give it a differential touch. In the front area, the side frames have been practically reduced to a minimum and two speakers with a triangular pattern grille have been included that create an interesting effect. The complete measurements of this device are 154º — 75º — 9.3 millimeters, together with a weight of168 grams. It is not a particularly thin or thin mobile, but it remains quite competitive figures.
In the field of the screen, we find a panel with a classic size of 5.5 inches (it is the standard format for phablets like the Lenovo Vibe P1 that has also been presented these days). Its resolution is Full HD 1,920 x 1,080 pixels, with a density of 401 dots per inch and a good level of detail to enjoy content such as movies or videos in high quality. By the way, ZTE also wanted to highlight the use of Gorilla Glass to protect the screen against bumps and scratches and to prevent the accumulation of microbes.
Photographic camera
Without a doubt, the great attraction of this team. ZTE has included two Sony-billed sensors on the rear, a primary one with a 13-megapixel resolution and a secondary one with 2-megapixels. This second sensor is used to analyze the depth of field and establish which elements are in the foreground and which ones are in the background. In this way, users will be able to play with different effects such as focusing on a certain area of the photo and blurring the rest after taking the snapshot. Another strong point is an aperture of only f / 1.8, a value that will allow us to obtain clear photographs in environments where there is little light. Not detract from the video section, capable of recording video in 4K UHD 3,840 x 2,160 pixels and then view them on a TV or monitor art. On the front it includes a camera with 8 megapixel resolution to take selfies.
Memory and power
In its guts we discover a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 octa-core processor with a speed of up to 2 GHz, which is combined with a 3 GB RAM. A very good set to be able to run Android games and apps and have many processes open at the same time without slowing down the performance of the computer. The internal memory of this terminal goes up to 32 GB, a capacity that can be expanded by means of a MicroSD card of up to 128 GB or by an online storage system.
Operating system and applications
The ZTE Axon Elite's operating system is Android 5.0.2 Lollipop. Although it is not the most recent update of this platform, it will allow us to enjoy the vast majority of new features with which this operating system arrives, such as its colorful interface with the rounded icons of Material Design or the improvements in its notification system. In addition, the user experience will be completed with the ZTE MiFavor 3.2's own software layer . But above all, at the level of use, the greatest attraction is the sensors that the company has included to enhance the safety of the equipment. Thus, we have three different alternatives to protect the smartphone. On the one hand, a fingerprint readerIt is positioned at the rear just below the two camera sensors. On the other hand, this equipment incorporates a technology that analyzes our iris through the front camera to unlock the equipment. Finally, we can also register our voice and speak to the phone to get it unlocked.
Another point that we would like to highlight here is the audio system of the ZTE Axon Elite. The company has deployed two independent audio chips with which a HiFi sound experience is achieved both when recording content and when playing it back, so this is an excellent compact multimedia player.
Connections
In the field of connections, this model integrates a double slot for MicroSIM cards. Thanks to this, we will be able to carry our telephone line and that of work in one team. Of course, we must bear in mind that if we make use of the two slots we will not be able to expand the available space through a MicroSD card. As expected, this model is compatible with high-speed 4G networks. It also highlights its compatibility with the WiFi AC protocol, to connect simultaneously to the 2.4 GHz bandwidth and the 5 GHz bandwidth and thus enjoy a faster and more stable network experience. Connections are completed with an NFC chipto carry out payments through the mobile, Bluetooth to synchronize it with compatible devices and GPS to share our situation or navigate anywhere.
Autonomy, price and opinions
The ZTE Axon Elite includes a 3,000 milliamp battery , a capacity that is close to what other similarly sized models like the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge + mark. ZTE has not shared specific data on the time of use that this battery allows, although it has wanted to highlight its fast charging capacity (two hours of conversation with five minutes of charge). To see this device on the market we will have to wait until next September 24. Its price will rise to 420 euros.In short, a very interesting model that becomes the spearhead of the Chinese company and that shows us its possibilities in the field of high-end, with its professional cut camera or its HiFi audio system.
