ZTE is one of the largest Chinese tech companies, even though they’re not exactly at the very top of the Chinese smartphone market. This company did introduce some interesting smartphones with their Nubia Z17 Mini, Nubia N1 Lite and Nubia N2 smartphones are quite probably the most compelling ones, especially the Z17 Mini flagship. Having that in mind, the company had also released a couple of Blade-branded smartphones this year, which belong in their affordable smartphone category.
The ZTE Blade A610 that the company announced. The smartphones are quite affordable, and don’t exactly have the greatest specifications, but they do pack in huge batteries. Both of these phones come with 4,000mAh battery packs on the inside, and that, compared with their internals, should result in great battery life.
If you compare the smartphone with the price then the Battery Capacity really much high that also speaks about it’s performance as well how it will works. The ZTE Blade A610 sports a 5.0 inch HD, Oncell display with a 2.5D curved glass on top of it. The devices sports 2GB of RAM and 16GB of expandable internal storage. An 8-megapixel snapper is placed on the back of this smartphone, and a 5-megapixel camera is available on its front side. This handset is fueled by Mediatek MT6735 Chipset and Quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A53 Processor.

Design
The design of the ZTE Axon Mini Premium Edition is certainly striking. Not only do you get the Axon’s triangle moire design at the top and the bottom of the device, but the phone comes in gold or silver, quite different to the run-of-the-mill black or white. Like its bigger siblings, the Axon Mini was designed with help from Teague, the design house which worked on the design of the Xbox and the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. There is also another connection to the 787 in that the chassis of the phone is made from Boeing 787 aviation standard aluminium titanium alloy.

The phone has the “Mini” moniker because it is a smaller version of the 5.5 inch Axon, however I am sure some people will comment on its size. On the front of the device is its 5.2 inch Full HD display, along with the front facing camera and the triangle moire design for the earpiece and the front facing speaker at the bottom.

On the back of the phone is the camera and flash (separated by more triangles), the fingerprint reader and the ZTE logo. The back cover is non-removable and seems to be made of plastic. However it is painted using a metallic paint to try and make it match the metal on the front. At the top and bottom of the back cover is some stitched faux-leather, also sprayed with the same metallic paint.
Display
The 5.2 inch AMOLED display on the Axon Mini is crisp and vibrant. It has a contrast ratio of 5000:1 and a resolution of 1920 x 1080, which gives a pixel density of 423 PPI. The glass is said to be “2.5D’, however it is hard to see any curvature at the edge of the screen.
zte axon mini
The display is everything you would expect from an AMOLED screen, deep blacks and bright colors. It has good color reproduction, great viewing angles and high levels of contrast when needed. Overall it is a pleasure to use.
Performance
The bigger 5.5 inch Axon uses a 2.0 GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810. For this smaller version ZTE has stuck with Qualcomm but this time opted for the Snapdragon 616. The 616 is also an octa-core processor but this time using eight ARM Cortex-A53 cores, the four fastest of which are clocked at 1.5GHz.

On board the chip is also the Qualcomm Adreno 405 GPU, which supports OpenGL ES 3.1, and support for LPDDR3 memory. Talking of memory, the Axon Mini Premium Edition comes with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, with the option of adding another 128GB via microSD card.

We can look at performance in two ways, first what do the benchmarks tell us, second what are the perceived levels of performance. The latter is subjective, while the former is objective. Starting with how does the device feels, well it feels good. With 8 cores and a reasonable GPU you aren’t going to be pulling out your hair waiting for the phone to react. The UI is fast and responsive as is the multitasking, mainly due to the 3GB of RAM. What this shows is that all modern day processors are more than capable of giving a smooth overall experience, including the Snapdragon 616.
Hardware
ZTE is keen to promote the audio qualities of the Axon Mini. The advertising bumpf boasts about the use of the Asahi Kasei Microdevices Corporation (AKM) AK4961, a high performance advanced audio CODEC for smartphones. It has a 32-bit 192kHz codec, for playing back your “studio quality” FLAC files, and promises low distortion and noise at -97dB THD+N and 127dB DNR.

But, here is the thing, it is generally accepted that anything over 20-bits, maximum 24-bits, is beyond what the human ear can distinguish.

The 2800 mAh battery provides a good battery life. It is good enough to provide a full day of use with around 4 hours of screen-on time, but that is the upper limit as far as screen-on time is concerned. Even on a day with heavy usage, that involved playing a lot of games and taking lots of pictures, the phone still managed 4 hours of screen-on time. With more casual usage, you will get about 30+ hours of standby, with the same 4 hour screen-on time.
Camera
The Axon Mini comes with a 13MP rear-facing camera and a 8MP front-facing camera. I found the main camera to be surprisingly good. It is winter now where I am and we haven’t had a clear sky for several days, I kept waiting for the sun to come out so that I could shoot some photos in direct sunlight, but it never happened. So I took some pictures under a moody and cloudy sky and I was impressed with the results.
zte axon mini
The camera app is fairly comprehensive as it offers a manual mode as well as HDR, Panorama, and a Beauty mode. In manual mode you can set the exposure bracketing, the ISO level, the white balance, the shutter speed and also the focus. Overall the app is easy to use and doesn’t get in the way of your main objective to take photos.

Software
The Axon Mini runs Android 5.1.1 Lollipop with MiFavor UI 3.2.0. The biggest difference between stock Android and MiFavor is that there is no apps draw. All installed apps appear on the home screen, like on the iPhone. The default UI skin for the Premium Edition is Axon Classic which provides the UI with a complimentary look and feel to phones physical design. The theme is dark and all the icons are made with silver and gold colorings.

Tapping the on screen menu button (the three vertical dots) brings up the launcher customization panel. As well as the ability to alter the icon set, you can choose from a series of solid colored or abstract wallpapers, or download one from ZTE’s online library. There is a built-in slider to give your wallpapers a blurred look, plus you can also alter the desktop transition effects.
zte axon mini
The Quick Settings toggles have also been slightly tweaked, allowing users to rearrange the shortcuts to any order they find useful, and there are a lot more toggle options available as well, beyond what you find with stock Lollipop. One particular enhancement that appeals to my inner geek is the ability to add the connection speed to the status bar, next to the battery percentage. This tells you how fast you are sending or receiving data on Wi-Fi and on 3G/4G.

Snapdragon 616 doesn’t match the rest of the specs
Nubia Smartphone is always a different experience. It’s never been an overwhelmingly delightful or agonizingly poor first encounter, but always a pretty daunting one to wrap your head around. Bold and distinct design, high-end hardware at a bargain price, original screen gestures – these have always been a prominent part of the package ever since the Nubia Z9.
Z17 keeps throwing curve balls, making it even harder to define what this phone is all about or put a finger on a single signature aspect or feature. This latest Nubia flagship comes with a trendy dual-camera setup and the beastly Snapdragon 835 chipset under the hood. The Z17 boasts Quick Charge 4+ support before everybody else, and ZTE still manages to hang an extremely competitive price tag on it. At about $465, the Nubia Z17 undercuts the OnePlus 5 and the Xiaomi Mi 6 by a few dollars, pointing to a less-than-subtle stab at the “cheapest Snapdragon 835 phone” title.

Display
“Bezel-less” is not exactly the buzzword it was a few years back. Infinity displays and ultra-wide aspect ratios seem to have taken over. Still, Nubia’s optical tricks are impressive enough, even if a little outdated. As already mentioned, however, there is a downside to bending light to extend out an otherwise flat LCD panel. You can spot distortions along the edges quite easily, especially when viewing the phone at an angle.
zte nubia z17
Still, if you don’t focus too much on the image quality in that particular border area, the overall style benefits still outweigh the inherent deficiencies. In other words, we quite like what we see. Just like its predecessor, the Z17 uses a 5.5-inch, FullHD panel. Nothing too fancy, but still plenty sharp, with a pixel density or around 403ppi.
zte nubia z17
The panel is a rather basic IPS LCD unit, but one with surprisingly wide viewing angles.The maximum brightness is average and tops off at around 388 nits. There is a Max Auto boost that needs to be enabled in the settings first. However, it is not particularly useful, as it only managed to push the display up to 392nits in our tests.
User Interface
Nubia is no stranger to flashy, bloated and over-the-top custom versions of Android. Nubia UI 5 is no exception. The OS is custom end-to-end and is filled to the brim with added features, little tweaks, and options everywhere you look.it is running a Chinese Android 7.1.1 Nougat ROM.
zte nubia z17
Besides the multitude of odd local apps, this also means a total absence of Google Play services and the Google App package, and no apparent way to sideload any of them. Not without rooting the device, at least. Of course, we did our best to work around this and not to judge the OS too harshly based on its localized features. What we did find a little hard to swallow, however, was the overwhelming number of bad and confusing English text translations found all throughout the UI.
Performance
The Nubia Z17 is a true flagship offer and a beastly one at that. It is built around the latest Snapdragon 835 chipset. This means a potent 4×2.35 GHz Kryo & 4×1.9 GHz Kryo CPU setup and Adreno 540 GPU. Naturally, this lets the Z17 rub shoulders with the cream of the crop of today’s smartphone market.
zte nubia z17
The Snapdragon 835 powerhouse is still found in only a number of handsets. These include the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ pair, Sony Xperia XZ Premium and HTC U11 – all more expensive than the Z17. However, there are other rivals out of China which have also taken up the hard task of integrating a Snapdragon 835 chip on a budget – most notably, the OnePlus 5 and the Xiaomi Mi 6. In a perfect scenario, free of all the additional availability and support concerns, these are the contenders the Nubia Z17 has to face and beat.
zte nubia z17
Making it in this fairly new, ultra-value, sub-$500 niche is probably one of the toughest challenges a manufacturer can take on in 2017. After putting the Z17 through its paces quite thoroughly, we are happy to report that it aces the performance round.Kicking things off with the pure CPU-based GeekBench, we can see the Nubia Z17 hold its own with a multi-threaded workload and even out-inch the other Snapdragon 835 phones in single-core tests.
Camera
It really seems that “trendy” with a signature design spin is what Nubia was after with the Z17. And nothing really says “2017” like a dual-camera setup. In this case, it’s a 12 MP, f/1.8 + 23 MP, f/2.0 setup, which is actually one of the highlights of the phone.A 1/2.55″ sensor size and 1.4um pixels are a strong foundation to build on. The Z17 adds phase detection autofocus, a dual-LED (dual tone) flash on top and the dual camera setup even allows for 2x lossless zoom. OIS is a notable omission, though.
zte nubia z17
On the far left of the viewfinder, you get a few toggles, including HDR and flash, both of which can be left on Auto. The options do change, depending on the mode you select, but they are all very self-explanatory. The settings wheel opens up a few quick toggles. Both face and smile detection work really well.
zte nubia z17
We don’t exactly appreciate the absence of a clear and plain resolution selector for stills. All you get instead is an aspect ratio switch. Tapping on the More settings opens the detailed settings menu, where at least the video resolution is nicely laid out for you to manipulate as you see fit (up to 4K on the main camera and 1080p on the selfie).
Battery
The Nubia Z17 is equipped with a 3,200mAh battery – only a bit smaller than that of its OnePlus rival, and nearly identical in capacity to the Sony Xperia XZ Premium’s unit. Since all of these smartphones are based on the Snapdragon 835 chipset, there is a certain degree of consistency to be expected in terms of battery life.The Z17 managed to score an impressive 81 hours of endurance in our testing routine.
zte nubia z17
A quick comparison with the OnePlus 5 reveals that both devices behave equally well in terms of 3G call time. 19h is definitely not bad, especially considering the poor past experiences we’ve had with units intended for the Chinese market and networks.Video playback is quite easy on the battery as well. 12:26 is a definitely a solid accomplishment on an LCD panel. Naturally, the OnePlus 5 squeezed a few hours more out of its efficient Optic AMOLED display.
