Axon Proby ZTE
PROS
- The Axon Pro's screen is sharp and bright.
- At only $450, this is a solid device.
- The Hi-Fi audio really does sound better than competing solutions from other smartphone manufacturers.
CONS
- The design isn't anything that screams "look at me!" It's an average design for an average device.
- Battery life is sub-par despite the big battery.
- There's no expandable storage and the Axon Pro only comes with one size of storage: 32 GB. Ouch.

The Axon's spec sheet is filled with hits -- the Snapdragon 810 chip is a powerhouse and the audio is surprisingly good -- but some misbehaving software and a fixed 32GB of storage keep it from being a dream phone.
The ZTE Axon Pro is a commanding multimedia phone at a more-affordable-than-usual price.

The display looks awesome and I enjoyed viewing photos and watching TV shows on the phone. I was worried about heat or lag from the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, but never had an issue with either on the ZTE Axon Pro.

But the Axon Pro can hold its own when it comes to performance and stamina. The Snapdragon 810 processor and 4GB of RAM perform flawlessly, and the phone never gets bogged down or feels laggy.
In a vacuum, the device would be a top choice for a high-end smartphone. But ZTE isn't the only one offering top-tier handsets.

Axon is ZTE's 5.5-inch Android challenger, with an aluminum design that's leagues beyond plastic unlocked phones. It also rivals flagships, as long as you're on AT&T or T-Mobile and willing to buy it at full price.
The ZTE Axon Pro has a stunning display and fantastic hi-fi sound, but its design and battery life disappoint.

The specs and real-world performance put the Axon Pro on the short list of phones I would recommend, to both beginners and pros alike.

The Axon Pro promises it all: premium design, fast performance, killer cameras and incredible sound. ZTE had the right vision, but unfortunately, it picked the wrong processor, and as a result, the entire phone experience goes right out the window.

I also found the ability to re-focus photos after the fact to be just as finicky as I did when I reviewed the HTC One M8 last year. It’s a feature that sounds amazing on paper, but leaves you disappointed in the end.
