ZTE launches Axon 7 with 6 GB RAM
ZTE has announced the launch of Axon 7. It is the successor to last year’s Axon flagship. The all-metal smartphone comes with high-end specs for just $450.
ZTE has skipped Axon 2-6 and gone directly to Axon 7 after launching the ZTE Axon last year. This may have something to do with the launch of many high-end devices like Samsung Galaxy S7, iPhone 7 having 7 in their name.
