Got my Axon 7 in Quartz Gray yesterday. Wow! What an incredible phone! I only have a few very tiny gripes overall and most are with Axon, not the phone itself.
The box was the standard Gold Trim box and gold accessories. I would have preferred Gray but that's a very small gripe. One of my biggest gripes overall is that I ordered from Axon so I got a free Flip/View case. When I pulled it out the box, it is Gold. Not very happy about that. Had I known that, I would have ordered elsewhere because I am not going to use a Gold case. I may contact them and see if I can return it for something else.
The navigation keys REALLY need to be backlit. My solution would be for pop-up screen buttons when the light sensor detected a very low light level. It's another small niggling point. Not major, just an observation.
Setup was fast and very easy. Transferred everything from my S6 Active and got all my accounts synchronized. Didn't play with the camera much as I was too busy being amazed by the sound from the speakers which was one of the major selling points for me.
The phone is quick but it does hang in a few spots. (Thought it may be learning.) I noticed that opening my USAA app takes a couple seconds where on the Active, it was pretty instantaneous. The fingerprint sensor is AMAZING and I set it as security for all of my banking apps that allow it and it works flawlessly. I am ultra impressed by it.
The phone doesn't feel the least bit slippery to me like I had read. I put it in the clear case that came in the box with it and it's fine for my tastes until I find something better.
The screen is GORGEOUS as reported.
Overall, I'd give the phone a solid 9.3 out of 10 for ME. Just a few tiny things like the lack of backlit keys, nothing major. For $400, I can't complain one bit!
