Under the hood sits a Snapdragon 801 chipset with a quad-core 2.3 GHz Krait 400 processor and Adreno 330 graphics, paired with 2 GB RAM and 32 GB fixed storage. That's a mid-tier setup by today's standards, but it was solid horsepower for its era. The 5.5-inch IPS LCD panel runs at full HD resolution with 401 ppi, so text and images stay sharp, and Android 5.1.1 Lollipop handles the software side.

On the camera front, ZTE went with a 13 MP + 2MP dual rear setup with autofocus and dual-LED flash, plus an 8 MP front shooter for selfies and video calls. Video tops out at 1080p30 or 720p120 for slow-motion clips. A 3000 mAh battery keeps things running, and connectivity covers LTE, dual-band WiFi, NFC and A-GPS, so it's not missing anything essential for daily use.

ZTE Axon price in Malaysia starts from RM1329. It ships in Ion Gold, Chromium Silver and Phthalo Blue, and at 169.8g with a 9.4mm profile, it sits comfortably in hand despite the sizeable display.
