Reviewers get their hands on latest Chinese smartphone

A new Android smartphone with a revolutionary design is causing waves across the globe.

The Axon M is being seen as an exciting bit of tech to get your hands on. 

The phone is made by ZTE, a Chinese telecommunications group with its headquarters in Shenzhen. 

China was the first to get a taste of the phone on January 20th this year, and will be followed by Europe in the not too distant future.

The price tag starts at ¥3888 or around £435 - although prices for Europe have yet to be announced. 

So is it worth it?

Opinions amongst experts are varied and some reviews are a little underwhelming. The most exciting feature is undoubtedly its folding screen, enabling users to have two apps open simultaneously. 

This is a step up from the split screen feature which can be seen on other devices such as China’s OnePlus 5.  

It must be doing well, too, as the company’s Vice President of Marketing recently announced that they would be releasing more ‘foldable screen’ phones in the future. 

So watch this space and try one out for yourself soon!
