[ZTE Axon Pro] GrievingJosh:
Hello nikunj87,

I too am from the UK and have owned my Axon Elite for roughly 3 weeks now, and can answer most of your questions if you wish. I would suggest buying it, I use mine on Vodafone and I bought it unlocked for £270(!!!), given the spec the hardware alone is a phenomenal deal. The fingerprint sensor not found on the Pro, or normal Axon, works surprisingly well, it's decently accurate and fast enough for most situations. The display is actually quite good, bright, sharp and colour reproduction seems to be quite good, the software allows control of the saturation of the display, going from more neutral to pretty oversaturated; I prefer the more saturated colours but that's just me. I thought I should mention, my SD810 does indeed get quite warm, however you'd be surprised at how low the temperatures actually are, it feels warm because ZTE dissipates the heat throughout the body of the phone, it can feel quite warm but CPU temp will only be in the high 30's most of the time, compared to the 801 in my OPO that idled at 39cish. Most daily tasks it keeps it's cool though, it's never actually been a problem for me.

Speaking of the software, it isn't actually too bad, MiFavor 3.2 aboard android 5.0.2, I do really like some of the customization features and ZTE has done a good job keeping the UI decently snappy, though on my particular phone the RAM management isn't too great, no idea if it's just my phone though to be honest. In short it's a pretty heavy skin, it wasn't too much to my liking but some stuff is nice, I now just run the google now launcher on mine, oh and I forgot to mention the play store and services is preinstalled, I wasn't expecting it to be either. As for the issues you've mentioned, call quality has been fine for me, no worse or better than my OnePlus One, mine seems easily clear and loud enough for my tastes. Music quality is also excellent, however for my tastes it's not as loud as I'd like, I've tried increasing volume the same way I did on my OPO (by editing the mixer_paths file) but the phone seems to just completely ignore what I changed. I'm sure it's fine for most though as I have quite bad hearing loss.

The cameras I found to be really quite good, my Axon has taken some honestly shockingly good photos, the HDR mode does slightly over expose and punch up colours quite a bit, though it does do a nice enough job of bringing light out of dark scenes. The camera app is quite well designed, and allows you to adjust exposure when you tap to focus, I apologise I can't include any screenshots or images, if you get this phone definitely try the Bokeh mode out, I tried it on some flowers and the result was stunning. The FFC also did really well, pulling a really nice amount of detail and colour was very good, exposure could of been a little better but it's only a FFC so I can't really complain. As for the sensors, you have a 13mp Exmor RS sensor for the main camera, a 2mp Omnivison lens for recording depth information and a 8mp FFC.

Sorry for the wall of text but I guess I wrote a mini review, if you need to know anything else or I missed something (bound to of missed something) then please ask! You should buy this phone, I really like mine, though I'd be interested in the Axon Pro, and it's software, the skin just isn't my cup of tea in all honesty but it works well enough, hopefully someone can get a completely stock 6.0 ROM on this phone, that would be killer!

EDIT: I managed to increase the volume, you have to scroll down to the line stating something like "playback_headphones" and edit the values there, now one of my biggest gripes with this phone is resolved and funnily enough, the audio quality is a mile away from my OPO, despite being at a louder volume the audio is nowhere near as distorted and it has so much quality and clarity behind it, I couldn't be happier. :)
