Hands-on ZTE Axon 7 Mini review: an Ax to jam with

ZTE Axon 7 Mini design and build quality

ZTE's Axon Mini 7 makes use of an aluminum unibody with a curved rear (inspired by sports cars, says Axon), making it ergonomic and easy to handle. The device makes use of a 5.2-inch display, slightly smaller than the standard version, which makes it easy to hold and operate with one hand.

On the front of the Axon 7 Mini you'll see a speaker at the top and bottom of the device, in a style reminiscent of HTC's past models, and on the rear is a fingerprint scanner below a circular camera sensor.

It's a slim, thin handset which looks and feels good at the $330 price point.
