The rumors are over, the ZTE Axon M is already a reality. The new device of the Chinese brand offers us a revolutionary design, based on two screens that can work together or independently. A system that multiplies the possibilities of the telephone compared to traditional alternatives.
This device seeks to distance itself from its competitors by its possibilities, not so much by the hardware. Still, the ZTE Axon M includes cutting-edge elements, such as a 20-megapixel camera or QuickCharge 3.0 fast-charging technology.
Innovative design
What we find in this ZTE Axon M is a double folding screen in the form of a book. Together they form a 6.75-inch screen with HD resolution. Besides, in its design we find some curious features, such as the fact that the fingerprint reader is located on the side, and that it acts as the start button.
Another characteristic element of this device is that, due to its peculiar design, it does not need to use a front camera, since there is a screen on both sides. Thus, the 20 megapixel camera that it includes can be used both to take photos of others and to take selfies.
Regarding its specifications, no specific mentions have been made other than the specific points already announced. The rumors still speak of a terminal with a Snapdragon 820 processor, 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of ROM, as well as a 3120 mAh battery. For now, those are the data we can hold onto.

Three modes of use
The great attraction of this ZTE Axon M is its usability. If we have the mobile folded, we can use it as a traditional terminal, but if we open it, that's when the possibilities begin. On the one hand we have the extended mode, which allows us the two screens as if they were one. The result, especially if we put it in landscape format, is quite reminiscent of portable Nintendo DS consoles. Reading an article or consulting a website is thus made easier, with a screen width that rivals that of a tablet.
Then we have the dual mode. With this mode, ZTE takes the concept of multitasking to another level. It is no longer that we have a split screen with two applications working, it is that we have two complete screens with two different apps running. We can check the email while we respond on social networks, or play a game without losing sight of our inbox.
Finally, we have the mirror mode. This mode allows us to take advantage of the fold of the ZTE Axon M for video calls or games. In this mode, two players can face off in a game of chess, and each screen will show an opposite end of the board.
Arrival in Europe in 2018
In the fleeting presentation of ZTE in New York, it has only been ensured that the model will reach both Europe and Asia and the US. Of course, the arrival date for our continent is unclear, we only know that it will be during 2018. Regarding the price, an exact amount has not been specified in any currency. The rumors pointed to a terminal of 650 dollars, but we cannot assure anything, so we will have to wait to know the specific date to know the launch price that this ZTE Axon M.
