We knew about the updated chipset already, but the additional camera was a surprise.

And if you want ZTE to history on the performance you've received wouldn't it be easier to email them directly?

    ZTE makes great high quality budget flagship level phones, Xiaomi should take note.

      AnonD-413292, 24 Apr 2017I almost bought ZTE A7. I read a lot on xda and it appears ... moreThere are 3 ZTE AXON 7's in my house. Best phones we've ever owned. I made the mistake of upgrading to Nougat when the update came out, immediately started noticing issues. So I googled android version 6.1 and downloaded that same day. Flashed it to my phone and no problems since.

              If it fixes all of the issues with the original this could be a winner.

                      I almost bought ZTE A7. I read a lot on xda and it appears the official Android 7 has same issues as beta. Reviews are great, but I'm curious if they update the software and get rid of most of the issues, such as: audio delay, Atos not working. If that's solved and it's below 500, I might give it a try. I'm fed up with faulty phones. You buy S7 edge, and you might just get red line across the screen. Huawei on the other hand, no problems, except my Mate 7 is very slow.

                        Nice specs! They should have released it a little earlier though.

                          I'd hate to nitpick but really for a 5.5" screen chassis, just how hard is it to cram in a 4000mAh ++ battery into it? I mean c'mon....

                            What dac does it use, is it still the same ak 4961/ak 4490 combo ? If they gone for the ak 4492 hifi board (dac,dsp and amp combo) I will buy this phone the moment it comes out.
