Starting today, there's more to like about the ZTE Axon 7, which combines a high-end metal design and specs with an attractive mid-range price.
A new, souped-up version of the Android phone just launched with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, the Chinese phone maker announced. That's up from the standard 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage.
What's more, there's a new Force Touch feature that brings menu shortcuts to the user interface, sort of like the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus with 3D Touch, or the Google Pixel and Google Pixel XL with App Shortcuts.
This beefed-up ZTE Axon 7 configuration still runs Android Marshmallow, so these are not exactly the same Android Nougat App Shortcuts we've seen from Google's new phone. But we'll test them and update our full review soon.
ZTE Axon 7 6GB of RAM price
How much does the ZTE Axon 7 with 6GB of RAM, 128GB of internal storage and Force Touch shortcuts cost? It's still closer to a mid-range than an expensive handset.
The new price is $499.98 (about £405, AU$676) in the US, according to today's surprise announcement. The ZTE Axon 7 with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage costs $399 in the US and £359 in the UK.
The new ZTE Axon 7 is available right away, exclusively through ZTE's website. Previously, this configuration was only available in China, where the company first launched the phone in May. Good things come to this who wait.
