There will soon be dozens of new smartphones to consider after CES 2017. While we wait, the ZTE Axon 7 Mini has gotten a price cut that drops things down to only $199 unlocked.

Before the Axon line, it is safe to say that ZTE did not get much attention from consumers in the smartphone world. While their handsets were solid, the ZTE Axon lineup kicked things up a few notches while keeping the price low. The ZTE Axon 7 Mini has become a fan favorite as well and may get some more love thanks to a new price cut through two major e-tailers. If you aren’t familiar with the device, here is what you can expect…

ZTE Axon 7 Mini specs

• 5.2-inch AMOLED display 1,920 x 1,080
• Octa-Core Snapdragon 617
• 3GB of RAM
• 32GB of internal storage
• 16MP rear camera with PDAF and Dual LED flash
• 8MP front-facing camera
• Fingerprint Scanner, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, A-GPS, NFC
• Dolby Atmos
• USB Type-C w/ Quick Charge 2.0
• 2,705mAh battery
• Android 6.0

The ZTE Axon 7 Mini isn’t as beefy as its bigger sibling but still packs plenty of punch. That combination made it an attractive option before, and nothing is changing due to the price cut. The handset is currently listed at $199.99 unlocked in the 32GB version from Best Buy and NewEgg. The latter has a limit of 20 per customers and we assume the deal is good while supplies last.
