[@origamidude2013]

cerealkiller he ruined it for me

[@fer200015]

The axon 8 was released and then this phone boots up

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

HA!

[@glen0630]

JuanBagnell, whats the stylus you're using?

[@eleanorbowers8948]

As far as I know this is the best price. It's for 159.99 USD with coupon code: AXONK www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_424822.html?wid=11&lkid=10811634 See ya kzbin.info/www/bejne/pX_Ggniabpx8qpI

[@tomielcapodeamnesia]

" it looks like a surprised minion" lol i laughed so much

[@XHobbiesPrime]

I watched this video because it was filmed on the LG V20 and I am really impressed by the video capabilities. It looks like it was filmed with a professional camera.

[@charlottesimss9853]

Thanks, I cant unsee that minion face now THANKS A TON

[@lucaszollner6298]

I already ordered it. Should come on Saturday morning. I'M SO HYPED

[@Pocketnow]

First!

[@aneeeessshhh]

Pocketnow arrrgggg

[@ethancrucey4229]

Pocketnow that dosent count

[@kennylilipaly4806]

Pocketnow 2(

[@sethpalmer9187]

Pocketnow y u do dis

[@MegaSasukeAmaterasu]

Its petit.

[@absolutelypositivefuture]

a 2k screen, with snapdragon 820, aluminum build, stereo speakers is midrange because it cost half than a Samsung? If it would cost 599, about 99euros cheaper than s7, it would be a high end device?

[@jdvh__94]

Nick Pass it's a flagship at a mid range price point like the one plus but they are always missing things that brings them down to the price

[@kennethoon]

Nick P midrange is according to prices

[@lifegoeson1877]

When is the lg v20 review coming and camera can u let me know pocketnow

[@jtec99]

Most important thing, does it work on all AT&T bands?

[@LarsJ1977]

I guess "mini" has a better ring to it than "the tiny bit smaller version"

[@XP9724]

Damn that music towards the end was funky as hell!

[@btjh1855]

hell yeah

[@shaarujonvijayakumar3074]

Great review Juan!

[@applejuice-4706]

All the video was shot on the LG V20.. & it looks amazing!

[@krishnansen1301]

Nice video as always Juan.

[@weenieandthehotdog2077]

Does this take screenshots?

[@45800lol]

Jesus, note to self: don't let this phone die. The boot time takes longer compared to charging

[@ELTONYU200]

this is just first boot, the first time this phone has been turned on, which means this is the only time that it will ever boot up that long

[@capvazquez3137]

When is the full review being released??

[@CyborgSodaCollects]

If HTC released this in 2014...reminds me of a well refined M8. The HTC 10 and LG G5 neither support 1080p @60 fps at $600+.... Somebodies gotta call these engineers out about these glaring omissions. Very clever editing Juan 👍

[@denopat8687]

When are we getting the full review on this phone Juan?

[@jvillaro]

Hi Juan is that a US variant and if so, those were onscreen button right? I would hope they make their way (as an option) to the Axon 7!

[@aaronyun8185]

What pen are you using at 1:53?

[@emdotrod]

It's booted up so long that Juan had to trim the outro The mini used Snapdragon 617, right?

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Correct. I accidentally muted my specs title cards. :-/

[@shrimp1920]

Pls do a review of Asus Zenfone 3 pls. Because I want to hear from you guys... You and Jaime are the best reviewers on KZbin. IMO

[@AbbasAther]

I am so happy that the unlocked model is compatible with my carrier. I might get this phone to take a break from Nexus 6P.

[@tinhngo4127]

where do you go to turn on axon 7 on screen home buttons?

[@aneeeessshhh]

Juan!!Good Video!!

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

:-)

Just touched this at my local Media Markt today. Wooooooooooooooowsers ist the first thing coming to mind.

[@Van-Hammer]

What is the stylus that you were using? Can it work with other Android phones? Thanks.

[@odkKoma]

I was offered a Project Manager position from ZTE 3 years ago. I agreed but didn't sign the contract on my first day because I had different plans and went to China to study Chinese shortly after. Maybe a huge mistake. I still think about it regularly. I'm probably blacklisted now... Great video, though! I nose exhaled 😂

[@Oshkosh239]

What type of pen/stylus were you using in this video to navigate through the phone in this video, i would like to buy one!

[@fuzzydunlop69]

Does anyone know when the axon 7 is officially coming to the UK

[@Crysis762]

does the phone come with a screen protector or a case ?

[@sapphiresky1773]

does notification bar on lanscape mode still an issue

[@manishdas4186]

is it shoot with Lg v20

[@IVUSER]

For a second I thought the ZTE boot just froze, until the AXON animation showed up.

[@bb-hu6ou]

Very nice video!! Which android version has the phone?? My ZTE Axon 7 mini has other icons!!(android 6.0.1)

[@dkakoo]

What kind of stylus are you using in the video

[@bf1057]

Are you going to do a real audio review for the original Axon 7? It sounded like you were really impressed with the audio in the review.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

It's definitely on the list :-)

[@bf1057]

JuanBagnell heck yeah.

[@andrews5831]

JuanBagnell does the axon 7 still have signal and wifi issues??

[@manishgant]

What is the name of the music video playing at the beginning?

[@pedroandrade2398]

Soulfoul muzak man! dope stuff. I've listned before, but can't recall what is it. can you oint me in right direction? regards juan.

[@ruffio_]

Filmed entirely with the LG v20? Wow

[@jaylouie2395]

Is its audio headphone quality is as same as its brother Axon 7??

[@AhmadRaza-ih2bx]

What do you guys do with all these mobiles

[@AlexeyFilippenkoPlummet]

5 minute teaser - that's harsher than what Hollywood does

[@Phoenix1024]

The screen isn't full right?

[@supreme84x]

With the Nexus line dead, I'm very interested in the Axon 7.

[@troy5568]

That bootup though. An iPhone 7 would've finished a speed racing while that phone is still booting up lol

[@janh.4656]

Will you take a look at the Moto Z Play, too?

[@SuperCMTR]

watching on my axon 7 mini

[@michalischristou2673]

Can you put it against the normal zte axon 7?please

[@my99by]

What is the song from the outro?

[@youngxjz25]

does it work with tmobile lte?

[@sirusvalencia2770]

3 minutes for the first bootup? Damn. Hopefully it doesn't take that long every time. Phone looks alright, though. It would have been nice to see a Snapdragon 625 instead of the 617, but I've heard that the audio on this is actually slightly better than on the flagship model (since they fused the 2 audio chips into 1).

[@vvkhor]

whats that stylus thing he used?

[@HandheldAddict]

"surprised minion"... now why'd you have to go and say that? now I can't unsee it... and that boot, is that booting Android or Windows 95? [pause for canned laughter]

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

HA!

[@afteryouhavereadmylonguser771]

HA!

[@MechaMeister]

HA!

[@TheFroInBristow]

HA!

[@lucaszollner6298]

I got mine a week ago. Things I noticed: The design is slightly different here in Europe (Yours has Axon written on back while mine is completely blank and only has ZTE and Dolby Atmos on the bottom) and the warranty is nicelier presented (yours is like this blue and white stuff while I have a very premium looking black paper) To the phone itself: I installed Google launcher on it and feels pretty smooth, Audio is great from both speakers and headphone jack, build quality is amazing and pretty (although I recommend using the clearcase that comes with it), the amoled screen is looking good when it comes to brightness and sharpness, although there is slightly colour shifting. over all its a killer midranger for 300$ that makes people look stupid when buying a 2013 iPhone 5s in 2016 for also 300$ (Yes, I actually know people who do that. sad, isn't it?)

[@lucaszollner6298]

Whoa did my comment really get that long?

[@gary-g6547]

Is it still booting ?

[@jiggymangosha]

been waiting thanks

[@sidersproductions941]

Juan what up. Where's my real camera review for, you know, that LG phone we kept talking about.

[@CellPhoneAddicted]

Hi! Can anyone help by telling me if the ZTE AXON MINI 7 has a Notification Led Light??? Thanks in advance.:)

[@izzyraj]

That boot time... if you plan to give this phone as a gift, turn it on befre you give it to them. Otherwise they might thinks its bricked out the box

[@gabrielsalgado342]

I've got baby hands! are there any decent mid range Android phones that are 5" or less nowadays?

[@RogerWittekind]

Ok, so where is your second impression of the 7 mini? BTW I've owned a 7 mini for over a year. I bought it when Bestbuy dropped them to $199 after Christmas and just found out today how to show off the Dolby ATMOS that you never even mentioned.

[@hkhudadad]

Juan best Reviewer!!

[@sic22l]

It should've got the SD650 or 652.

[@CyborgSodaCollects]

sic22l totally should've been...

[@SonySMRTLim]

5.2" is considered small? And that boot time tho.

[@darrennico8527]

hello does any body know if this phone has a led notification light ??))

[@FastR080T]

hey could you guys do a review of the xperia XA?

[@jiggymangosha]

Does this really have fast charging, you didn't really fully unbox it

[@adamfaraj9138]

The Big Bang happens again then this phone boots up

[@stephen_sezs]

Correction: Axox 7 is a flagship, not a midranger. The Mini however...

[@uros2909]

Juan,what do you think,will budget phones soon take over the market?

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

It's tough to say. We have to undo YEARS of conditioning in the USA. I think "power mid-rangers" have a ways to go, especially if these companies don't work harder at advertising.

[@1989DP3]

I cannot unsee it now, 'a surprised minion!!!!!'

[@moisestyle]

I was sure the phone is stuck on that 1st boot lol Btw what is the exact chipset? You did not mention it Juan :o Is it the 615, 617? You only mentioned the newer gen is 625.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

DAH! I had a title card which I muted before rendering! It's the 617.

[@huntertran2249]

Can it run android oreo?

[@troy5568]

That boot though. I already thought my Zenfone is the slowest booting phone I've had

[@jdvh__94]

Watching this in super crispy 720p on my iPod...my S7 edge is charging 😞

[@alessandroher09]

Excuse me señor Juan bagnel , explain me how the ZTE axon 7 is a midrange? I mean if you compare it to iPhone 7+ the only thing where the iPhone wins is the camera and water proofing, the rest, design, screen resolution, amoled , audio quality, front facing speakers, plus android and price, so should we say that the new iPhone it's a midranger

[@lm658]

Wilfredo Hernandez price

[@alessandroher09]

Sooo, right now I can get a Galaxy S7 for 429 bn on eBay, those that makes it midrange now?

[@lm658]

And brand name

[@lm658]

Lol i dont know where u live, but here i can't get a S7 for 429

[@alessandroher09]

That's all I can think about, the brand, still to me a high end device that I'm gonna get as soon as I can :)

[@austinthaikehui]

OMG.....that boot time is crazy.....

[@tree_fingers]

My Axon 7 had a similar initial boot super lag but then never again...I don't think it's because of the chipset, I think it's a MiFavor thing.

[@freddywayne]

Haha! I'm still waiting for it to boot up!

[@racea.t6531]

that boot up time is crazy 😬

[@angelstudiosmggsg3196]

what's up you guys have a good day to test the camera what does the camera dude I will appreciate it

[@sidewondoh7018]

I really like this phone I'm getting this phone

[@healthbrokendown3267]

Does have fast charging like Samsung

[@tigerd7528]

For $300, that's a beast.

[@lucaszollner6298]

that's why I'm getting one

[@Yoko.Kurama]

at least the fixed it and gave it on screen buttons

[@joshua3220]

Newegg is having this phone on sale for $199!!!!

[@victorv.300]

Legend Says it's still booting

[@chocol8chiptrip]

why did they do this if they weren't going to put sd820 on this? we want small phone with specs like the pixel or iPhone 7

[@PotatoisAHerb]

I had bought from Amazon at £269.99. I liked everything but it didn't support the 5GHz Wifi . So I had to returned it back.

[@a.ychristian3562]

Commenters help! Axon 7 (6GB), the new Xiaomi Mi Note, or shall I wait for the Mate 9??

[@cristian_c]

Regarding boot time, I think this will happen only for the first boot

[@erroldtumaque3430]

goddamit cant unsee "surprised minion"

[@NeXMaX]

FUN FACT: This entire footage was shot on an LG V20

[@Haninos]

Looks cool.

[@MrKingpin1988]

does this phone have a earphone jack

[@mattfedrachen8245]

christopher bias Yes, I think so

[@bartmanplayminecraft]

Wish I could get an axon 7 in the uk D:

[@bartmanplayminecraft]

But then I'd rather a Oneplus with a 2k panel xD

[@deucedaprodeuca]

The LG V20 review brought me here.
