Metal-made ZTE Axon 7 Mini now available to buy in the US

Less than two weeks after it started taking pre-orders for the Axon 7 Mini, ZTE today released the smartphone in the US, offering it unlocked via its online store.

While it resembles the 5.5-inch Axon 7 in many aspects, the Axon 7 Mini is obviously a smaller device, and is also cheaper. You can buy the new handset for $299.98, free shipping included.

Like its bigger brother, the ZTE Axon 7 Mini runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow, it's made out of metal, and has dual stereo speakers on the front. However, the Axon 7 Mini is not exactly a high-end phone, as it offers features like a Snapdragon 617 processor, 3 GB of RAM, and a 5.2-inch 1080p display. The handset further comes with a fingerprint scanner, a 16 MP rear camera, 8 MP front-facing camera, 32 GB of expandable storage space, and a 2,705 mAh battery.

The ZTE Axon 7 Mini has LTE connectivity, and is compatible with GSM carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile, but it won't work on Verizon and Sprint. You can take a closer look at the smartphone in our Axon 7 Mini hands-on.

What do you think, is the ZTE Axon 7 Mini worth $300?
