ZTE, one of the well-known Chinese smartphone manufacturers, has unveiled Axon M, a new model that will stand out as the first smartphone with a folding screen to be released.
Although still far from the futuristic mobile phones with flexible displays, ZTE has opted to create a device with two screens connected by a hinge allowing an aperture of up to 180 degrees, something similar to what can be done with many convertible tablets.

Axon M FHD Screen
Each of the available screens is a FullHD LCD screen of 5.2 inches. The two screens together form a 6.75-inch display. Users will have different ways of using them to watch videos, consult information, and much more, from the Axon M.
In this sense, Axon M brings four modes of use: dual, whose screens operate independently; extended, functioning as a single screen between the two; traditional. That works just like any regular phone; and mirror, allowing the same content to be seen on both screens, ideal for sharing content with family and friends.
Axon M Camera
Also, there are some more things to keep in mind of this new phone is that it has a Snapdragon 821 processor, 4GB f RAM, 64GB of internal storage expandable by microSD, 3,180 mAh battery. So, that offers a single-day charge per charge compatible with Quick Charge 3.0, and a single camera, 20 MP. That comes with f / 1.8 aperture and integrated dual flash, located on the main screen, which also allows you to record videos up to 4K resolution.
Axon M, other Specifications
It also has 3.5mm jack connector and USB Type C, and Bluetooth connectivity 4.2, LTE and VoLTE. As for operating system, it integrates Android 7.1.2 (Nougat), which takes advantage of its multi-screen capability.

Since ZTE have already optimized and integrated many popular applications for Android, up to 80 applications, such as Gmail, Twitter, and Facebook, to be used in Extended Mode. The rest will work as if it were a conventional tablet.
At the moment it is not known for prices, but it will arrive in Europe, China, the United States and Japan. Europe is expected to come in the first quarter of next year.
