ZTE AXON 7 | THE 8 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP REVIEW

[@davebo9615]

I followed you in part because of this coverage. This phone was just so perfect for its time.

[@davecphilly]

Still use my Axon 7 for KZbin and music around the house. Replaced so many parts and tought myself how to open a phone and fix things with this phone. Still going strong. One of the best phones ever made. Got it brand new from zte for like 400 dollars on a black Friday deal the day after my HTC M9 power button broke. Replaced the battery. The volume rocker. The screen. Great phone.

[@BigDKBee]

@@davecphilly still got my Axon 7 and Nexus 6P. I also learned how to take apart a phone with the Axon then replaced parts on my 6P at a later time. This phone is a sleeper. People are still amazed at how sleek and sexy this phone is when I use it in public.

[@Alexander0189]

I remember your passion for this phone very well J! when I saw the thumbnail I knew it was you immediately!

[@PrinceRevolver]

Random, but I 100% support it. If you reviewed the Nexus 6P I'd support that too.

[@merrileebarnes9439]

I still love my Axon 7...my only phone still in 2024. Changed battery twice. I upgraded to Oreo with your help!... Last week I picked up a 128/6 on eBay for $83. !!! It will be my dream phone when I get it in a few days 😉...have my Oreo ready to load after I put in a new battery! Thank you Very much for your support.😁

[@Actarus-2euphore]

Hello from France! well I bought both models, the gray one and the gold one in 2016; I have never changed the battery, it lasts 8 to 10 hours! still in their original box! I will never get rid of these high quality mobile phones!! the sound is just madness!!!! even for 8 years no one has done better a must have

[@petrsittek1021]

[@bobbywright4394]

Hey J, thanks for the throwback! This device brings back so many memories, I used to love it.

[@sparksx2]

Great device with legendary speakers. Can’t believe it’s been eight years!

[@fatmax2195]

Lots of great memories. Discovered your channel by this phone and have enjoyed your videos for 8 years 👍🔥

[@JohnBob-g1l]

Boss. Do more of this old phone's. I love such videos... Keep it up bro...

[@jaramieblack3310]

I loved this phone! It is one of my favorites ever!

[@simonpeake1956]

Still got my axon 7 in the UK couldn't get rid , speakers are 👍 😎

[@jayrome8764]

I still have two! One is down because the screen was damaged (kept it for spare parts) but the other one is running quite fine. I'm running a custom rom. I changed battery twice and applied fresh thermal paste to keep it relatively cool. The audio quality is top notch💯

[@cliffmenze]

Yeah J. Still got my golden Axon 7. Been drawed for last couple of years, but when I come to use it again one day I know it will bring back fond memories as it always does. Great for its time and still works today after a battery change 3 years ago

[@katmai7777]

Watching on my Axon 7. Still using as a daily mobile. 3x battery replacement. And this year "fast charging" broken. Only normal charging works. No Idea why. I heard that one "chip" on motherboard can be damaged. KZbin playback and sound with "Dolby on" is gorgeous. Greetings from Germany, Europe.

[@moc2292]

Love these nostalgia videos. Some of the phones you have in your collection are just pure classics.

[@MagdielLopez]

I had that phone when it came out and I loved it.

[@RhondaGriffinshopsherlock]

I still have my Axon 7, as well. When I first saw your review about it and the speakers, that sealed it for me.

[@tonymarenno9568]

Sweet! Android 8 isn't bad at all, honestly 🙂

[@JasonScottCarter]

Wow. This device allowed us to meet. So many good times with the Z Community.

[@smartphoneconversations]

Indeed!

[@passivaggressor]

I love these old phone videos.

[@michaelmiller3598]

My wife actually had that phone and that was to this day one of her favorite phones

[@SolidSnake4Ever2003]

Man, time truly flies, I always felt like this, and even the budget ZTE Blade V8 Pro are the two decent androids that are like "the ones that got away" with me over the years. Something was either going on, I didn't find out about them till way later and/or the situation just didn't line up. I've used all the OS over the years, despite mostly rocking iphones the past few years, I've always felt more "at home" or "cozy" with an android, like I'm on an actual pc. I may go with a stout enough one that won't break the bank in the future just for something different. Honestly, for their specs and bottom dollar prices, I've been impressed by what I've seen with the newer budget Moto phones. They don't have that great update security cycles, but they're so cheap someone could get xyz new Moto model in a few years and still come out ahead. Still sad about LG leaving the phone game, I'd wait a little bit and get their flagships for a fraction of what they were new. I just got a 2022 3rd gen iPhone SE with the same cpu as the 13 and non pro 14 on a can't miss deal so I'm good for awhile but am very intrigued in how the budget/mid range on android will advance the next few years when I'm due for an upgrade

[@theish9]

One of the best devices I ever had. I still have a couple of them

[@sherylhodge6361]

I wanted a dual sim phone then remembered I have this phone put up. Time to take it out.

[@GSF_1977]

I used to have one back in the day. Coming from a OnePlus 2. It was a pretty good device.

[@CarWrapsCasablanca]

I have the silver one for 8 years I only change the battery I actually comment with it 😁 Love my phone 🤳

[@mikehagquist5198]

I had the gold axon 7 from Best Buy. That was the first and last great axon

[@bernardosellers369]

Great review

[@emudojo]

Tossed mine in the trash as the battery and screen died, the cost of parts was not justificable, but has been my most favorite phone since, followed by the g1 and the note9 and the palmpre

[@justfasial01]

It was a true successor of the HTC M8, I owned both of them.

[@simonpeake1956]

Don't use it daily anymore obviously but couldn't bear to part with it , used to use it as a dash cam but the battery is awful now , still on original battery mind , 12T pro as a daily these days , still got my nexus 5 and iPhone 3gs too , all in working pristine order💪👍#loveoldschool

[@BabyBoyy2024]

Hi are you going to too review the new TCL 50 XL?

[@RedneckPunk]

I have the axon 7 I bought upon release and a couple years ago I came across the chinese rom version with the 821and 128gb storage and a double camera set up.

[@zocken2go]

Joo, can you show the Axon M again and how it's holding up?

[@ReeseJaimison]

Wanted to grab for a second phone how does Snapchat run on this

[@9upplus]

I believe if they relaunched it it would do good today

[@bezelking9192]

Wow can't believe it's been 8 years

[@ElJibaro718]

I had the Mini. Great phone,except for the trash battery. Wish they'd bring this out again.

[@RobertWilke]

I loved this phone until it an unfortunate drop on concrete. The screen didn't shatter but the OLED broke. Never had a chance to repair it. It was such a good phone. If it was working I'd still have it.

[@artdogg50]

Yeah that's still the phone I regret not buying when I had the chance. ZTE's stock on them ran out when I finally tried. Never hesitated on any phone I really wanted since.

[@tonymarenno9568]

Might have to replace the battery sometime. Shouldn't be too complicated

[@NATURETECH476]

Classic zte just my lg velvet

[@hookextraodinDonnyFair]

I had an axon 7 mini it was the truth

[@alihejazi2060]

I followed your channel since the huawei mediapad x1, wonder if you still have it?

[@smartphoneconversations]

Yes, sure do

[@alihejazi2060]

​ Wow, would love to watch a retro review of it, i still have mine on android 5 beta, but my battery is dead and can't find a replacement

[@FurryNacho]

There can only be one! Huawei Mate 20x

[@kamildouglas]

Ahhh yes I remember this phone

[@honeyten1001]

No way! I'm watching this on a ZTE Axon 7😂 (it's my replacement phone)

[@apparentlynot1stLeonchubbs]

This phone taught me to hate my local used marketplace lol. Was not ever one of these up for grabs 😑 Kept looking off and on for years before i gave up 🤷

[@artdogg50]

Yeah I had a chance to buy one, procrastinated for many reasons, and when I finally went to buy one, nobody had them. I never procrastinated for long on any phone I really wanted since.

[@juansantiago4442]

HTC U11 next PLEASE 🙏🙏🥺

[@mattytwotimess]

Gotta be HTC!

[@lavidaloca61]

the speakers are benchmark

[@JuergenBertram-ps7sy]

Stop glorifying this thing, please ! Now, is this a 4th generation phone ? Yes, or no !

[@EstudioEmmanuel]

Bro i have the same desk too 😂 i am currently seeking to fix my axon 7. I feel i got a defective unit because it broke down within a year of ownership. I want to see if i can being it back to life. Thanks for the video!
