I am looking to buy next year an axon 7. What is your favorite features of this phone?
I have two lines, I was using a Galaxy S7 Edge and a Moto X Pure Edition. I wasn't feeling the Moto X that much so I got the Axon 7 in grey.
I am now using the Axon 7 as my main device vs the S7 Edge. The main reasons are the stereo speakers, I prefer an all metal build, the rear finger print sensor (S7 edge is so low that I find myself unlocking it with the pattern vs the fp sensor), the overall look of the phone, I like the 3 pinch screen capture, quick charge 3.0 charges pretty fast , I really like the toolkit app package it comes with, I liked the sim/sd card slot tool keychain it comes with, the USB-C and the dual sim card tray.
I'm really digging the weather widget it comes with and the voice and gestures controls. One of the commands I had been longing for a long time was the ability to control your music with your voice and this phone lets me! Like when I'm taking a shower or shaving or whatnot, I always have my phone playing music and it's nice to skip to the next song without touching the phone. I dig the stock notification sounds (I know these can always be changed but I never, I use whatever it comes with but I really the selections Axon made), pretty cool wallpaper selection.
I kind of got tired of the no edges of the S7 edge and it lags a tid bit, so far I experience zero lag on the Axon 7. One thing I do wish the Axon 7 had that the S7 edge has is it being water/dust proof. I do prefer the stock messaging app the S7 edge has vs Axon 7 but I can always replace that with something else. I don't like that on stock operating system, the max # of apps width wise is only 4, so I'm using Nova Launcher on the Axon (actually on both).
I do think the S7 edge takes better pictures and I like the Always On Display, but overall, I'm happier with a $349 phone than a $750 phone.
