ZTE's Axon 7 Mini prepares for budget battle (hands-on)

The mostly-metal Android phone drops its size and yes, specs, to compete at an even lower price than the full-size Axon 7.

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.

The Axon 7 Mini doesn't make too many trade-offs from ZTE's flagship-worthy Axon 7. But this $299 phone's battery life holds it back.
