For the price, this phone is a no brainer to buy. Phone came brand new in box, unlocked and ready to use on the simple mobile network. I was greeted with a 4GLTE symbol on top as soon as my sim was detected and the phone connected to 5ghz wifi just fine also.
I haven't been using the dual screen mode a whole lot but I have been testing it out and I like it (:
It's great for reading, scrolling through the internet,even playing games and watching Netflix looks so good on this phone.
While watching YouTube I was able to play a video in 1440p and it looks really good also.
I have seen some reviews that have stated one screen has a different "color" than the main screen does but I've checked mine with different colors and backgrounds and they both look solid on my device.
All apps such as Snapchat,IG, YouTube and quite a few gaming apps have all ran on the device with no stutters, hiccups, or any type of freezing.
The camera is definitely good but not great
In low light and darker rooms or environments. The phone will not perform as great as some other phones, but it's not terrible. I took quite a few pics and videos already, also downloaded open camera and the pictures look very good (:
The only negative thing I have to say about this phone is battery life. I did check my battery health and it is actually perfect!
No depleting from what I see but to be honest, this phone can bring you through the end of the day but don't expect a 2 day battery life.
I'm already considering buying an external battery just in case I happen to need it while out and about.
Battery life, performance, and camera are all things that we all look for now when phone shopping. For $130 I can't complain one bit because it's the best phone in this price range.
No phone is perfect, and if battery life isn't perfect I'll take that over a crappy camera and a laggy non usable phone anyday.
Also I would like to state that I am coming from the XIAOMI REDMI NOTE 7. INCREDIBLE phone but when it came to service and being able to receive calls and texts messages on the TMobile network,the phone didn't have the proper bands for me to be able to enjoy the phone without worrying all the time if I missed calls or texts messages.
With the ZTE AXON M I made 100% sure it had the necessary bands for T-Mobiles network,and it does!
The speakers are actually impressive. Dolby Atmos speakers fill the room and compared to the front firing speaker in my Motorola, this speakers sounds a whole lot more crisp.
Be aware that there are NO CASES AVAILABLE FOR THIS PHONE. It sucks and is a very big disappointment for all of us :( using a phone without a case is a bad feeling but with Gorilla glass 5 you can at least rest assured that your phone will be perfect okay from a drop of no more than 5 feet. So for my tall friends on here, I'm sorry lol
I will continue to update on the software experience, call quality,and how good this phone continues to run on a day to day use.

I would like to add that I am using an old school type pouch case for the phone that I bought at Walmart for $6 and it works great. Protects my phone when in my pocket or when attached to my belt. It was a way better protection option than having nothing at all.
Also, charging time is impressive on this phone. Rest assured if you are low on battery, just plug it in with the included fast charger and you will be ready to go in no time.
I'm still enjoying this phone and my only "negative" review would have to be when using Snapchat or Instagram the phone will randomly switch from the front and back screen. Could definitely be an issue that the actual app needs to update on.
Besides that small nit pick I have nothing bad to say.
If you came across this phone and are having 2nd thoughts, Don't!
It's worth it. Just be aware this will not work on any cdma carrier such as Verizon, Sprint, and boost Mobile.

One of the most affordable fold-able phones - ZTE Axon M

Reviews with images
Best bang for the buck.
If you were disappointed that Samsung and Hauwei had mediocre offerings for a "folding phone" this year and want to forgo the $2000 price tag, then the ZTE Axon M may be the one for you.Let me be clear...THIS IS NOT A PHONE FOR A POWER USER. It does however serve very well as an everyday/ backup phone.It has basic battery life but the dual screens will not allow it to last all day. Basic phone functions worked well along with Bluetooth and wifi and the speakers have a surprising volume which made watching videos a pleasure. Performance wise, this phone rarely lags as I was able to play high intense games AND multitask.Switching between screen modes proved rather bothersome as the lacking RAM failed to keep up and recognize what orientation I was trying to achieve. But with a few tweaks on the interface and remembering what "mode" I left the phone in quickly remedied the issue. Overall for a phone from 2017 it kept up with my expectations. Mines was brand new in a sealed box and was unlocked so I could use on T-MOBILE network with no hiccups.My only cons are that this phone is 100 percent solid with a very sturdy build of glass and aluminum. It's heavy as hell! And you will feel it during use. I use just a basic "generic" case that doesn't really offer protection. You will have to get the custom case for that. It is also slippery and will literally slide of a table even when completely flat. Don't ask me how it happened but it fell off my night stand while charging and got a small nick in the metal. Lesson learned...watch where you put it because it will fall. Last con is getting used to flipping it open is a pain. Again, this phone is sturdy as hell and that includes the hinge mechanism which makes opening it requiring both hands more than often.Overall, I do enjoy using the phone. Most satisfying are the looks when people notice you using it. Definitely would buy again.
