Today, ZTE officially announced the ZTE Axon and the ZTE Axon Lux at the company’s Beijing event. The Axon phone was already announced a few days back in US, so we knew most of the specifications of the device. However, there is one major difference between the international model and the Chinese version. The latter comes with a three different biometric sensors namely fingerprint, voice control and eye-scan. Other specs are more or less the same.
The ZTE Axon Lux is the higher-end version, and features a WQHD 5.5-inch display with pixel density of over 534 ppi. There will be 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM on board along with 128GB of internal storage which is further expandable. As for the standard Axon model, it comes with a 1080p 5.5-inch display (400ppi) and 3GB + 32GB internal storage (expandable) option.
Other specs are same, which include Snapdragon 810 octa-core chip, Hi-Fi AK4961 chip, dual cameras (13MP+2MP) with dual LED flash and a 3000mAh battery with Quick Charge. There are a lot of security features as well on both the devices like Fingerprint Scanner, Visit Mode, TrustZone, Eyeprint ID, and Voice Unlocking. This also makes it the first phone to support three different biometric authentication options.
As for pricing, the Axon Lux costs 3888 Yuan while the standard Axon edition costs 2699 Yuan. There will be two color options, namely Ion Gold and Chromium Silver. Users can order the phone from ZTE’s official website or via JD.com.
