ZTE is ready for Axon with their new phone

ZTE USA, which has been around for years, hasn’t really had a phone that they could call a contender in the Android market. Their Android phones up to this point have all been geared towards the budget crowd. This, of course, is not a bad place to be. However, they also have aspirations to compete in the much more competitive high-end arena.

ZTE went through thousands of surveys and focus groups to determine what the American public was looking for in their new phone. What they found out was that we want premium features for a not so premium price. Of course, I could have told them that and saved them thousands of dollars and man hours. I mean, who wouldn’t want that right?

Enter the ZTE Axon Pro

The Axon Pro will be the first smartphone to go on sale in the U.S. equipped with Hi-Fi sound. With 2 dedicated audio chipsets, the sound reproduction should feel just like the real thing, giving you the sense of atmosphere where the music was originally played, the depth from where the sounds came from, and the goodness of balanced harmonics.”

You’ll also be able to record in HiFi as well. The dual audio processors will help to reduce wind noise, and dual microphones with auto level controllers and long-distance voice pickup will help you to capture even the slightest of sounds from up to 20 feet away.

Other Axon specs include

Stock Android

The phone will run stock Android 5.1.1 and ZTE promises “…a clean Android experience with the addition of only a few pre-loaded apps that look out for your health.” This is great news to the users of heavily skinned and bloatware laden premium handsets.

On sale

The ZTE Axon Pro pre-order just went live on their website for $449.98 and it includes JBL E-13 in-ear headphones. You can also find it on Newegg and eBay. What do you think? Is this phone on your radar? Let us know in the comments.
