ZTE Launched Axon Elite With 5.5-Inch Full-HD Display, 3GB RAM And Fingerprint Sensor At IFA 2015

Now ZTE has launched its Axon smartphone globally, the ZTE Axon Elite. It is priced at EUR 419.99 (approx. Rs. 31,100). On September 24, the phone will reach France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom. Turkey, Mexico, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Russia and the Philippines would get it later.

Dual-SIM ZTE Axon Elite has similar specifications like seen in the original ZTE Axon (aka Axon Pro), which was launched in the US in July this year at $449.98 unlocked (roughly Rs. 28,500). The differences between the two models are that while the ZTE Axon has QHD (1440×2560 pixels) resolution display, the Axon Elite comes with lower full-HD (1080×1920 pixels) resolution display. However, the Axon Elite comes with biometric authentication methods such as fingerprint, voice and eye scanning sensors, which are not there in the ZTE Axon.

The smartphone runs Android 5.1.1 Lollipop. It features 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 clubbed with Adreno 430 GPU and 3GB of RAM.

The highlights of the metal-clad ZTE Axon Elite is its dual-lens (13-megapixel + 2-megapixel) rear camera with BSI CMOS sensor and dual-LED flash. The dual-lens camera lets users refocus an object after the image has been captured. The rear camera can also record videos in 4K resolution. The smartphone houses an 8-megapixel front-facing camera. It also bears 32GB of inbuilt storage and misses out on microSD card expansion. The connectivity features included in ZTE Axon Elite are 4G LTE, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS/ A-GPS, Wi-Fi, and USB. The smartphone is backed by a 3000mAh non-removable
