ZTE AXON 7 64GB 4G LTE Ion Gold Unlocked Smartphone 5.5" 4GB RAM (North America Warranty)-Newegg.com

I ordered a nexus 5x from bhphoto for 269 with case and so forth but I like the specs on the zte.

Is it worth cancelling my order?

Never had a nexus before.

i have the 5x. it's a good phone but the battery sucks. you get about 3 hours of SOT. also not sure how you feel about the 2gb ram. I don't mind it cause i use it for music, browsing, texting...no snapchat/social media etc.

You getting something else then? That's all I use a phone phone too. But the ZTE is tempting.

I told you guys in the other thread..if my boy said the Axon 7 is LEGIT, then it's fukkING Legit. I never had ZTE though and I want to continue with Samsung Pay and the SD card option which is why I'm getting the Note 7 on August 15th when it comes out. If it wasn't coming, I would have to seriously THINK about getting the Axon 7 because the price and the review of it not finding issues with it for SUCH a low price is too good to just ignore.

I used the 5x for a month before I got my 6p and had no major problems. Battery was lacking a bit but I made it 8 hours. Gave the 5x to my wife. She's been complaining about it for 9ish months. She says the battery sucks... but she leaves the backlight on full blast and won't lock the screen to turn it off :martin:

My coworker said he liked his but his fingerprint scanner was messing up. To be fair, he said Google gave him a new one free of charge. He took the replacement and sold it for $300 and bought the one + 3.

Hmm, my wife has the 5X, never really complained about the battery life. Are you a heavy user?

I have the 6P myself, and the battery has been GOAT status for me

i wouldn't consider myself a heavy user. i use whatsapp, google chrome, google play music, some texting here and there. and i get about 3 hours sot. the 6p has a bigger battery, that's why you get a good usage out of it.

Axon 7 should be better. Has most of the latest specs. If you're looking at the Axon 7 why now look at the Oneplus 3 as well?

Well it's birthday gift from a friend so I'm not buying it but I may tell her that I want a better phone.

I don't really trust Chinese oems, who knows when it crops out and I need to take it in. Rather stick with familiar names like Google, LG, Sammy and iPhone.

Unfortunately she can't afford a new iPhone so in told her stay under 300 bucks is cool.

I'll probably refund the 5x and thrown in from my own pocket for the one plus 3, that's a wicked phone.

But the aton 7 looks like a beast.

I'm not a social media Savage like thst, I got the cricket 2.5 gig for 35 bucks plan.

But I fear the 5x is to cheaply made.
