ZTE Axon 10 Pro

Advantages: Power - Snap 855, so there is a lot of it. At least for now. Sound. Plus, good sound from the speakers. And very loud if required. The screen - the colors are pleasant, you can see it clearly, without unnecessary loosening of the eyes. Smoothly increases brightness when the screen is turned on - in one review they recorded it as a disadvantage, I personally trudge with this chip. Surprisingly, the automatic brightness mode is rarely idiotic, so I have it turned on. The possibility of wireless charging (and for the first buyers, like mine, the module itself from ZTE, as a gift) - works pretty well. Not like on QuickCharge, but nevertheless it charges completely and is not noticed in overheating. Camera - there are no buttons "Get a masterpiece by drunken stupor", for everyone else, if you have hands, eyes and other organs, it shoots perfectly. To be honest, I didn’t try to shoot a video, but just as honestly, I rarely do this one that I’ll hardly find fault with it. I am not disappointed with the selfie camera either - everything is nice. Quite a cool warranty for the Axon line from ZTE (however, I hope that I will never use it) Looks nice. Almost naked Android. I personally like it, so for me this is a virtue.Assembled with high quality (so far in advance, but purely by eye and by sensations - everything is buzzing) Autonomy - quite at a decent level. There is a good advisor that calculates battery-hungry applications and even butts with them for your charge percentage.

Disadvantages: A very slippery comrade - we straighten our arms as much as possible. It is advisable to buy some kind of bumper or cover. Dust and water protection is simple here - IP53. The gorilla-glass of the modern generation is really in stock. It is worth saying that the new flagships with IP68 for the most part cost almost like these two ZTEs. And if you take into account that it is better to minimize the swimming of smartphones, even with super protection (checked by me personally with IP67), you will think a hundred times more whether to overpay for it or not. There is no minijack connector, which is a minus for someone. And the set of headphones too - you need to buy some (however, this is not very confusing). As a small compensation, there is a USB-C - 3.5mm adapter included.

Comment: To the brand, as I have noticed, the trust is average. Perhaps the cheaper ZTE segment is to blame, because the general emotions of real users from the flagships are more or less positive. By the way, Xiaomi or Huawei for modest money also do not differ in particular reliability and grip of stars from the sky (examples were before our eyes more than once). I personally do not like bias, and flagships from ZTE have piqued my interest for a long time, since the time of the Nubia Z17. I switched to Axon 10 from HTC U11. For a modest time of use at the moment, I am happy as an elephant. How happy I was with the previous phone, until the aggregate it began to require too much repair. How it will be over time - we'll see.

Advantages: Design, camera, screen

Disadvantages: Minus a ball for memory, because IMHO such smartphones should be 256 GB by default. Photos, videos take up a lot of space. And not to take a picture with such a camera - why buy then?

Comment: Purchased on 10/20/2019. When I turned on for the first time, an update arrived. I didn't dig into the settings, everything is very convenient by default. The fingerprint scanner is built directly into the screen, very unusual, but got used to it quickly. But the whole front part is a huge display, very bright and juicy, I set the brightness to the minimum in the room. Looks cool, used to control very quickly. This is my first smartphone of this size, over 6 inches. Reading and surfing the internet is perfect! I work a lot from my smartphone and it's super convenient with an axon.

Advantages: Everything is at the level of the flagships, the power of the latest processor and the fact that a pure android, not a large and already self-sufficient set of progs, has added antivirus and other programs to taste (if you need more than the phone has), the case is assembled with high quality, without squeaks, etc. etc.

Disadvantages: The case is too tight, there is no stabilizer for the video (for me it's not a problem, I'm not a reporter, and in general there is a way out and not one is another), at the moment there are practically no covers in Russia - it is difficult to hold in hands without a cover ( how you hold soap), unreasonable distrust of the brand, the mandatory need for a cover, who let the duck in that there is FM in the smart, a special thank you, that's why it's not written in the technical characteristics.

Comment: Sorry for the review - I did not catch any nuances and the slightest differences in smartphones of this level, this is from deceit or perversion, and in general this is a modern phone (dialer), I do not sleep with a phone in my hand.

Disadvantages: After a week of use, with the auto-adjusting of the screen turned on and the screen off time, gray translucent stripes and spots appear. When I turn off these functions, everything works, only the screen does not turn off.

Comment:

The smartphone is good in every sense, the sound is simply incredible, there are no complaints about the work, it is worth its money, it looks stylish with its own case, I advise !!!!

Advantages: Excellent performance, versatility, wireless charging support, good wide-angle camera.

Disadvantages: the lack of stabilization when shooting is the main disadvantage. In principle, I don't see others

Comment: if not the best smartphone from my "gadget history", then definitely the most balanced one. His camera, perhaps, is not ideal, but otherwise I have no complaints either on work or on charge consumption. A few more words about shooting: the lack of stabilization is certainly unpleasant. You can shoot something from a moving boat - but 6 frames out of 10 will be blurry. On the other hand, panoramas, landscapes and night photography are simply epic. The shades of the sky and clouds that I like to shoot are perfectly reproduced. Wide-angle shots are also better than most Chinese cameras I've seen. Plus, there is a whole scattering of all kinds of filters / lotions and software features. I don't even erase all selfies, although I usually don't store them). Video shooting meets the realities of today. True, the files weigh a bit too much, and I have not yet figured out how to reduce their size.

Advantages: In principle, a good machine! For me, two functions were important, this is NFC and an audio codec, there are such ones here.

Disadvantages: A slippery type, he strives to slip out of his hands and all the time runs away somewhere, the problem is solved by a cover or bumper, which you can buy anyway.

Comment: Everything you need is in it.

Advantages: For me, the key advantages are high performance with a margin of several years, a gorgeous high-resolution screen that allows you to view the received photos in the smallest detail, and the ability to watch videos and listen to high-quality music. In fact, this is my manual media center. Also a big plus is the ability to use a large memory card, up to 2 TB, since my videos and music weigh very well.

Disadvantages: I consider a slippery body a disadvantage, the smartphone has a beautiful body color, but it's dangerous to wear it without a cover. No protection like its predecessor. I did not notice any more cons.

Comment: The phone was bought for the sake of teaching photography and listening to high quality music. My office is located near the park, and during lunchtime I often go out looking for beautiful frames for my photo collection. On this phone, the pictures are especially juicy and realistic.

Advantages: Almost all

Disadvantages: I want a camera at 64

Comment: great phone

Advantages: Great performance, good battery. looks stylish.You can even play without any problems, even watch a movie all day long - the smartphone can withstand the load. About the camera below, but I must say that from the point of view of software, it is interestingly made and compensates for the shortcomings by the wide possibilities of image processing

Disadvantages: Camera without stabilization. I tried to shoot in motion - two thirds of the pictures are obtained, one third is a blurry marriage.

Comment: I also have to say about the sound. With my spinal cord I remembered that Axons were historically flagships with an audio interface (up to the DAC in the seventh version). This device has all the possibilities, from a jack for ordinary headphones and naturally - wireless ones, ending with Atmos support and just a good sound card. The Atmos interface itself is more to show manufacturability. it is unlikely that at least 3-4% of users of this device have a "smart home" with the same sonosity. But 5g support is definitely not for show. Tried it - it works. speed - excellent!
