Affordable Premium Phones

The Axon 7 Mini Offers a Number Of Premium Features At a Low Price

— October 18, 2016 — Tech
Chinese telecommunications technology company ZTE has gone ahead and launched a brand new smartphone, dubbed the Axon 7 Mini, that is designed to offer some of the features that you'd only come to associate with a true premium phone at a price that is more reminiscent of mid-tier devices.

This Android device is available for less than $300, but offers a range of quality features such as stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos compatibility, dual SIM card slots and a powerful 8-megapixel front camera. Elsewhere, the device offers 32 GB of storage and 3 GB of RAM.

By offering a healthy blend of basic and high-end features, the Axon 7 Mini manages to offer a healthy balance between premium phone features and mid-tier price, something that will appeal to upwardly mobile segments of the cellphone market.
Trend Themes
1. Affordable Premium Phones - The trend of low-cost premium smartphones is disrupting the high-end smartphone market.
2. High-end Features at Mid-tier Price - The trend of offering basic and high-end features in mid-tier smartphones is catering to the budget-conscious but sophisticated user segment.
3. Balancing Price and Quality - The trend of balancing premium features with mid-tier prices is creating opportunities to attract upwardly mobile segments of the market.
Industry Implications
1. Smartphone Manufacturing - There is an opportunity for smartphone manufacturers to tap into the budget-conscious segment of the smartphone market by offering low-cost premium smartphones.
2. Technology Retail - Retailers who can offer low-cost, high-quality smartphones can capture the attention and loyalty of budget-conscious consumers who still want premium features.
3. Telecommunications - Telecom companies can meet the needs of up-and-coming segments of the market by offering a healthy balance of basic and high-end features in their mid-tier smartphones.
