Amidst Samsung,
Sony, Alcatel and other
announcements at IFA 2015, ZTE
announced the global version of its new Axon smartphone, the ZTE Axon Elite. The handset will reach
France, Spain, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom on September 24. Turkey, Russia,
Singapore, Malaysia, Mexico, Thailand, Hong Kong, and the Philippines would get
the smartphone later. ZTE has priced that Axon Elite at EUR 419.99
(approximately Rs. 31,100).
The dual-SIM ZTE Axon Elite will hit the markets with similar
specifications like seen in the original ZTE Axon (aka Axon Pro), which was
launched in July in the US this year at $449.98 unlocked (approximately Rs.
28,500). The differences between the two variants comes in their screen
resolution i.e. ZTE Axon has QHD (1440x2560 pixels) resolution display while the
Axon Elite comes with lower full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) resolution display. However,
the Axon Elite includes biometric authentication methods such as fingerprint, eye
scanning and voice sensors, which are not there in the ZTE Axon.
The Android 5.1.1 Lollipop-based ZTE Axon Elite
specifications includes a 5.5-inch display, and is powered by a 64-bit
octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 (quad-core 1.5GHz + quad-core 2GHz)
processor coupled with Adreno 430 GPU and 3GB of RAM.
The main features of the metal-clad ZTE Axon Elite includes a dual-lens
(13-megapixel + 2-megapixel) rear camera with dual-LED flash and BSI CMOS
sensor. The dual-lens camera lets users refocus an object after the image has
been captured. The rear camera is capable of recording videos in 4K resolution.
The smartphone consist of an 8-megapixel front-facing camera. It also bears
32GB of internal storage and misses out on microSD card expansion. The
connectivity features included in ZTE Axon Elite are 4G LTE, GPS/ A-GPS, Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth 4.0 and USB. The smartphone is backed by a 3000mAh non-removable
battery.
