ZTE Axon Elite Smartphone Coming To The Global Market
ZTE is rolling out its new flagship smartphone, the ZTE Axon Elite, to Europe, Latin America and the Asia-Pacific. The Axon Elite will first go on sale online via eBay for France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom on 24 September, priced at 419.99 Euros (or 299.99 GBP). Starting from the end of September, ZTE will partner with MediaMarkt to sell the Axon Elite on the open market in Germany, the device’s first offline launch, and will continue rollout of the device in Spain, France, Turkey, Mexico, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Russia and the Philippines.
The Axon Elite can be unlocked with three different biometric authentication options – fingerprint, voice control and eye-scan. Additionally, it comes with 32GB of internal storage, which can be expanded to an extra 128GB with a microSD card, and features Corning’s Antimicrobial Gorilla Glass.
Other highlights of the Axon Elite include a dual-camera setup (13MP for photos + 2MP for depth effects), three-fold biometric security (fingerprint, voice and eye scanning), 5.5" 1080p screen and Snapdragon 810 chipset.
Note that this is different from the Axon Pro that's sold in the US. The main differences are the Pro model has a QHD screen, but lacks the biometric authentication methods.
