ZTE Axon Pro now available for purchase at $449.98 unlocked

Posted on by

The term “flagship killer” has been floating around a lot recently. Recent device announcements like the OnePlus 2 and the Moto X Style might be making you rethink how you’ll fund and where you’ll buy your next device. High-end specs and performance at a more reasonable mid $300 to mid $400 prices makes bringing your own device and going contract-free so much easier to swallow. We know, the companies like OnePlus and Motorola area probably cutting edges somewhere, but everyone is getting so good and making these mobile devices. Do we really need all the bells and whistles?

ZTE officially announced the Axon Pro a couple of weeks ago. We knew it would be made available to purchase around this time. It is available now with its sleek metallic body in Phthalo Blue, Ion Gold, and Chromium Silver colors from zteusa.com as well as Amazon (blue only), Newegg (gold out of stock), and eBay. Every Axon Pro purchase comes with JBL E13 Premium Headphones as well as a 2-year warranty and premium protection plan with a $79.99 deductible. No insurance premiums or monthly fees. Sweet, sweet deal.

The specs are impressive. The device looks great. I think this would be a super fun phone to review. I’ve reviewed ZTE phones in the past and I’ve always been impressed with their phone design and premium feel at non-premium prices.

How do you feel about the ZTE Axon Pro? Can it compete with the OnePlus 2 and the Moto X Style on the unlocked phone market? By the looks of it, I think it has a shot. Especially with that 2-year warranty and protection plan. I’m so impressed by a company that can stand behind their product. Let us know your thoughts by commenting below!
