[Rigby Jones]

How long ago did you purchase from B&H? I would order one from Best Buy and if you can get it tomorrow, cancel with B&H.

Tom's Hardware chimes in. Not a big fan of battery life but gives Axon 7 a final score of 8/10.

This review is strange. "mixed audio performance" is one of their gripes and the camera is listed as one of the positives. Every other review has it the other way around. They actually call the speakers "ok". That's a first.

I was thinking same thing. Everything I read before this was the camera was somewhat eh, especially in low light, and the audio was awesome. Yet this review flipped it. Wish Android Central would chime in. Regardless, still can't wait to see that Newegg package in the mail.

I like what he's saying, but I'd feel alot better if they didn't put their fourth string guy in to review this phone

Engadget review is up.

"If you want a cleaner OS and can live with a less-sharp screen, the OnePlus 3 is a better bet at the same price. But those who prefer a great multimedia experience and a distinct aesthetic will find a more suitable companion in the Axon 7."

That's true. But ppl on Verizon can't use the OP3. So this is a great alternative.

According to this guy with an active Verizon SIM, the Axon 7 isn't any better:

ZTE claims you WILL have problems running Axon 7 on Verizon network at this point in time.

Flossy Carter posted his unboxing and first impressions, like he says, a major win for him, only thing he didn't like so far, the Capacitive buttons being so close.

this could be realistically a perfect phone if ZTE spent like 5 minutes reading this forum or scrolling through youtube and corrected like 5 things. Its all pretty simple problems

Capacitive button positioning isn't all that simple to change, particularly if other hardware is in the way.

I like the position of the capacitive buttons/keys. If they were farther apart you would not be able to reach all three with one hand... unless you have super long thumbs!

I wonder if I can rig that MiPop thing into an on-screen navigation "bar".

First Durability test I have seen.

I haven't toyed with the phone nor any other big phone outside of the Samsung S7 Edge, so I can't make a final judgment. But the buttons look about an inch or two from the actual home button. That'd have to be sorta troublesome I imagine.

Edit probably less than an inch, I'm pretty dumb when it domes to measurements off top.
