The IT Nerd Award For The Best Smartphone Of 2015 Goes To: ZTE Axon
This category was a slam dunk as far as I am concerned as ZTE has managed to go from budget phone manufacturer to making flagship phones that you’d want to buy, and won’t cost you a lot. How have they done that? Well, they delivered the Axon smartphone which has the following going for it:
- Android 5.1.1 Lollipop
- 2.3GHz quad-core processor
- 5.5-inch display with 1080 x 1920 resolution with Corning Gorilla Glass 3
- 2GB RAM
- 32GB internal storage – Non Expandable
- 13MP + 2MP rear camera with 4K HD video capability with dual-LED flash
- 8MP Fixed-Focus front-facing camera with 720p HD video recording
- Hi-Fi audio
- LTE, 802.11a/b/g/n/ac
- Non-removable Li-Ion 3000 mAh battery
Let me boil all of that down to just the facts. ZTE has a fast phone that has the best audio that I’ve ever heard in a phone, a camera that works in all conditions, and a battery that not only lasts the whole day and then some, but charges quickly as well. It’s a phone that will have Samsung and Apple looking over their shoulder, and you smiling all the way to the bank because it won’t cost you an arm and a leg. The ZTE Axon is a deserving winner of the best smartphone of 2015.
