(Part 2) Best products from r/Axon7

Replace the battery. It's like $50 on Amazon. I did about 7 months ago, so worth it.

I also recently converted to Honor View 10 after I dropped my Axon and couldn't get a screen repair quickly enough; I'll eventually replace the LCD and keep the 7 as a spare.

There's some bloatware to get rid of on the HV10 and the speaker placement is kind of lame but over all the UI and specs are great. 128GB internal plus expandable is legit. I miss the heft of the Axon a bit since I have big hands but the I'm not mad at the HV10 at all. Oh and it's hella cheap, ~$420 on Amazon.

What state do you live in? Because you can order from B&H and you won't get charged sales tax(unless you live in NY/NJ) and there's free shipping: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1257204-REG/zte_a7g331_axon_7_64gb_smartphone.html

Newegg has a free $10 cable included with the purchase of a Axon 7: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875705055

And then Amazon if you have Prime: https://www.amazon.com/ZTE-Axon-Unlocked-Smartphone-Warranty/dp/B01FUF1JKE

Personally I'd probably buy it from B&H because of saving on sales tax and usually B&H orders take ~3 days to get to my house in SoCal(as long as I order on a Sunday/Monday lol).

I actually have 2 made by Aukey. One at work and one in the car. They work perfectly fine. I have used them since day 1. I have my A7 since the 1 week it was sold. I actually have 3 of the AC plugs.

Also I would only by a USB-C cable from this list

I've used these for about 3 years I'm on my second pair only because I wanted the updated by 4.0 versions. I wouldn't recommend using them for jogging because your sweat will likely gunk up and dissolve the ear cups but hey sound surprisingly good and have a battery that lasts for somewhere between 24-30 hours of playback on a charge. I use them all day long at work and charge them every 3 days, I've never tested to see when they actually run out of juice...

This vent mount from Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019D29Q32/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Doesn't have a problem with the weight of the phone. Been very happy with it.

The Aukey ones are pretty good and have a decent warranty.

I got the mini one from here:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01M5JT042/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It doesn't cover the fingerprint sensor at all, fits under my Spigen case without a problem, and works with my Tylt Vu charger. I highly recommend it, it works just like you would expect it too.

I got this one for my bike and it works great! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015PS3ME2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_n46fSuiXsrNeQ

I use the Scoche Magic Mount. I put a steel plate in the back of my case and the phone sticks to the magnet. It works perfectly.

> Anker adapters

Seconded, bought this

in the UK, works perfectly.

Warranty?

Buy copycat break/malfunction then warranty is another option.

[Xiaomi Mi Pistons](Xiaomi ZBW4326TY professional Store Hybrid Dual Mi Hybrid Earphone In-Ear Headphones Multi-Unit Circle Iron Mixed Piston Earphones, Silver https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018AMDCLI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_k.l9Ab11KYFFZ) I recently copped for $25, works well with my Axon7, favorite pair for Android.

These work great for me

i dont know of a case like that. It somewhat defeats the purpose of a wallet case or a stand alone case.

your best bet may be to just buy a cheap $2 ebay chinese wallet folio case and cut off the snap-on case part, and also buy a cheap snap on case from ebay and just super glue it on there.

really JerryRigged i know, but thats all i can suggest at the moment.



EDIT- after a search i found this. Its not cheap, but it appears to be both a case or a wallet case depending what you want. https://www.amazon.com/Dreem-Detachable-Fibonacci-Protection-Kickstands/dp/B01LX0LRFS/ref=sr_1_28?ie=UTF8&qid=1485203184&sr=8-28-spons&keywords=axon+7+folio&psc=1

Was a bit more expensive than when I bought it, EUR 380 seems pretty reasonable!

I ordered one of these when there was a deal for around $50.

[Qualcomm Certified Quick Charge 3.0] RAVPower 20100mAh Portable Charger + QC3.0 USB Charger (USB-C / Type-C Port, QC 3.0 Input & Output) for Phones, Tablets and More https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IVMXW7G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Ym8YxbBVTD525

Can be charged with qc3 as well. So good.

I bought a matte IQShield from Amazon( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GQWMIZU). Applied wonderfully and it's been on for a week with no bubbles. I also have a MicroP kickstand case from Amazon. ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01J9Y5CQO)

https://www.amazon.com/Mountek-nGroove-Universal-Phones-Devices/dp/B004G1L52Q

I use this one, it's worked fantastically, it fits basically any phone, and as long as the charging port is in the bottom center, it's flawless.

This thing has survived a cross-country trip and is still going strong. I use the vent clip, haven't even tried the dash or windshield holders yet but it comes with all three for $14.

edit: my axon is in a spigen case, just for the record

I got the two pack from Mr Shield. It has everything you need to get a good install. Like all the other tempered glass screen protectors it does not cover the edges of the screen but none will due to the rounded edges. The tempered glass coupled with a case that has decent raised edges gets the job done, but you have little valleys on the sides that you have to blow dust/lint out of every now and then.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GCIO12Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I use this screen protector. It only covers the flat part of the screen and leaves a noticeable gap between its edge and case edge. Something I had to get use to. At least you get 2 and its under Amazon Prime.

$369.98 USD = $489 CAD

If they won't ship to Canada use a forwarding service. One example

There is nothing definite if there will even be an Axon 8, especially after ZTE announced the Nubia Z17. If there is an upgrade to the Z17 it will probably cost over $500 USD
