Snapdragon 820 sits at the core here, paired with Adreno 530 graphics and 4GB RAM, so the Axon 7 handles everyday multitasking and games without much fuss even years after its 2016 release. The 5.5-inch AMOLED screen runs at 1440 x 2560 resolution, working out to 538 ppi, which is sharper than most phones in this price bracket manage. Storage is 64GB, and there's a microSD slot for more, though it shares space with the second SIM.

The rear camera is a 20MP unit with f/1.8 aperture and OIS, useful for steadier shots in dim conditions, while the front camera covers video calls at 8MP. Battery capacity is a modest 3250 mAh, non-removable, and Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow runs the show out of the box. ZTE Axon 7 price in Malaysia starts from RM1944.

Other touches worth noting: stereo speakers, Dolby Atmos tuning, a fingerprint sensor, NFC and a USB Type-C port. It comes in Ion Gold, Quartz Grey and Chromium Silver, weighing 175g at 7.9mm thick.
