ZTE Axon M Review: Halfway Happy

I have had more fun in my week with the ZTE Axon M than with almost any other phone of 2017. The Axon M is more crazy dual-screen clamshell than a true "folding phone," but whatever you call it, it's a half-phone, half-tablet that I would love to carry … if its execution lived up to its concept. Join me for the MrMobile ZTE Axon M Review!

I don't know, this seems like the perfect way to emulate the nintendo DS!

Honestly your video titles are underrated. Iphone: "great, but not grand, " Pixel 2: "burn-in down the house" I dig the way you make all of your videos stand out in every aspect even the titles. You could easily write "Zte Axon M: Interesting!" Or "Amazing" Like other reviewers, but you don't. Just something I noticed lol.

This guy can review a bag of potatoes and I'll still get entertainment and even get me to buy a sack of potatoes Lol. been binge watching your vids man. xD

Now in 2019 they are on clearance for $130 give or take. I got one. Absolute steal at that price, unlocked too.

[TechLineHD]

Great concept, rushed product I would say. Software issues are unacceptable on the phone this pricey. Superb review!

[EpicallyEvil]

Another great review by one of the best Mobile reviewers on YouTube and one of the best channels. Keep up the good work bud.

[hexiidecimal]

As someone who owned this phone when it first came out, it was actually a really nice phone. It's amazing to see how far we've come since then though, and although I'm amazed with my motorola razer 5g I still miss this phone a little. Really hope that we eventually get an upgraded version of it someday.

[TechSprinkle]

I love Mr. Mobile’s way of integrating the subscribe reminder to his channel within the script. You are the best... Michael.

Wow have far we have come. I'm writing this from my fold 2

[AndroidBasha]

[krishnapandey-lrbu]

Been waiting for a mr.mobile review for quite some
Already know it's going to be good boi!!!

Imagine how much you could do with a custom launcher on this thing.

This phone is the unknown spiritual successor to the plethora of large form factor foldables being sold today. The satisfying clack of the hinge is something I miss on my Fold 4

The Surface Duo is so similar to the Axon M in concept, but the execution seems to be so much better.

[NeXMaX]

I wished we had more phones like this.

Sure, they're far from practical, but it harkens back to the times where smartphone manufacturers were releasing bold designs.

ZTE had a great phone strategy for phones, why did they let go of all of the exclusive features that the ZTE Axon 7 had? If this phone took the DAC, front facing speakers, and excellent OLED display, from the AXON 7 and improved on the Camera, design (it was slippery when I held it), software, and battery it could have easily beaten the OnePlus 5 for the best budget phone of the year (IMO). I think ZTE made the Same mistake as LG did with their G5, aiming to have the maximum amount of gimmicks for media coverage, even though the excellent audio from the 7 had lots of coverage (Unbox Therapy is one example). I Don't want to see an Axon M 2 and would like to see an Axon 8 improving on the features of the 7, instead of scrapping everything to make new phone.

[PierreWilliams]

So glad you mentioned the camera issues.

[MuvoTX]

I like it... Something radically different. Needs a bigger battery though

Watching this video, I'm not surprised at all that he ended up going all-in on foldable phones.

Just ordered mine from amazon for 149.99 I am pretty excited getting rid of my iPhone 7 Plus for it if the axon m holds up. Which I think it will 😀
