As for selfies, because it's the same 20-megapixel camera, they look just as good and faces are smooth and sharp. The camera itself works well, and photos taken in ample lighting are clear and bright. Again, this is something you're really, really going to have to be OK with if you want the Axon M. Even if you like having that bigger screen, the garish line down the center is distracting. I know I mentioned that already, but it's worth repeating. Lastly, when you fully unfold the phone to get both screens side by side, you'll always have the black hinge running through the middle of your newly expanded display. These kinds of small, awkward design choices are the price you will have to pay if you get this phone. And when you fold the display over, one edge is rounded with the hinge while the other feels flat and sharp, which is just not pleasant. Because the battery is on one side of the phone, it feels weirdly uneven at first. In addition to folding downward, its weight is not completely symmetrical. The Axon M is also just not a comfortable phone to use. That's the trade-off for two displays in this design, though the dream of a foldable or rollable phone has always been one that's convenient and thin. the Axon M is thick at 0.48 inch and heavy at 8.1 ounces - that's half a pound - and it can't exactly fit comfortably in your pocket. Playing games on a bigger display also make them more immersive, and runner games (like Super Mario Run), where a lot of the action is at the bottom of the screen, especially benefit from having that top-bottom design.īut there were also some unwelcome things I had to get used to, too.
I especially liked using the secondary display as a kickstand or when I needed to multitask and have two apps opened. Having the extra display is useful and even fun to have around. You can also flip open the second screen part way and place it down to use as a kickstand. The phone will auto-switch to this mode when you close the device. Single: This option uses just one screen (the one attached to the battery and camera), while the fold-out display remains off.
You can move apps to another screen by swiping left or right across one display to the other. This option is best for multitasking for instance, if you wanted to keep an email or browser window open on one side while penciling down a related calendar event on the other.
Good for watching stuff with another person across from you, so you can both see the same thing. Mirroring: Both screens display the same content.

It's a convenient button that I like to use to launch into YouTube, going full screen in a snap and saving me a few taps.

This automatically sets the phone to the expanded viewing option and opens a video-viewing app of your choice (YouTube, Google Play Movies & TV or the preloadedĪpp to name a few). However, you can also have it launch "TV Mode" on the long press. A long press will launch an app you assign. You can double click it to launch the camera. One of the control buttons on the side is a quick launch button. When you want to use the extra screen, you'll have to fold the second display from behind, like opening a book with the binding toward you and the pages facing downward. When closed, the Axon M is an extra-thick 5.2-inch phone with all its buttons on the left edge and a hinge on the right. And while it's a reliable and decent phone in and of itself overall - and it'll be interesting to see if ZTE continues to iterate on this device - you should only get it if you either really see yourself getting a lot of use out of that second screen, or you like indulging the onlookers around you who'll ask if they can see your snazzy phone.
As such, the ZTE Axon M isn't for everybody and most people will find its design ridiculous.
