I felt I explained it clearly enough that I was talking about the screen so would be pressing on the screen. Anyway to avoid the ambiguity, yes, I mean when I grab the phone with my thumb on the front of the glass and fingers on the back then I noticed the click - which related to the pressure...

I think the only way to test is to take the otterbox and screen protector off. I haven't returned it yet as i don't want the hassle. Also I have had a full day of use and interestingly the clicking has gone. I am not sure if it is because it is up to temperature and has flexed in to place. I...

To clarify - this is a bare phone with no protective case or tempered screen. When applying pressure (relatively light to medium) the clicking occurs. It is toward the centre of the screen and my description is that it sounds like the glass screen is trying to stick to the digitizer but the...

Don't get me wrong - I don't drop £800 on a phone I don't really want. But that also means it needs to feel right on. My concern about the clicky screen issue is in case this is likely to cause problems down the line. Currently since I'm only in by a week I have retailer returns in my locker...

I feel vindicated from feeling like a mad man. I am going to record the noise and then consider requesting another exchange. Trouble for me is that I am happy with the screen whiteness/red levels so don't want to jump back into that frying pan. Do you think it is something from the rear or...

Any body having any build issues? After pink tint - I thought I picked a decent phone. Just noticed a few times today (having only used the phone lightly for a few hours) that when I pick it up from the middle of the screen I can hear and audible click as if I'm pressing the glass onto the...

So I've received my S8+ second one after a tiny scratch on the first - but allowed me the chance to compare and see the pink-tint-gate issue myself (it's real). A while ago I ditched my Axon 7 - lovely phone, excellent price but ultimately the call quality and ear piece sound was bad plus it...

Pretty damning statement there. What is it you SSO dislike? I've just sent my s8+ because of some tiny scratches on it from factory. I did notice the screen stuttering on youtube but I'm going to stick it out. Hopefully updates will sort these. Anybody got any comments on call quality/strength...

Just an update for those who might find it useful - I went in to the Samsung store and spent an hour with both devices (I wanted to leave with a clear decision of S8 or S8+). I have 'normal' (!) sized hands I guess and I found the S8 to be a perfect size - easy to get across the device. The...

How does it feel in hand? I think I've held the S7 edge and that felt like a nice size - given that the S8+ is the same width I feel like that would be a reason to change from my S8 (albeit £90 for a marginal bit of extra screen and battery is difficult to reconcile). PS - what store - I might...

This one illustrates my main issue with the S8 and why I'm tempted to go with the S8+ (this is an S8 up against a OnePlus 3T) I know you can do screen stretching but the fact is you will distort/crop into the intended visual Borrowed from this dude: https://youtu.be/AxStsKhefTk...

Just interest free. Hence £770 just seems a bridge too far for a phone (hell £689 seems a lot to me) - that said I currently have a S3 (i9300) :o I am being suckered into tech again and trying to buy the latest (= the greatest).

I'm going to check it out tomorrow - I didn't realise they had them in stores to look at (London). I think the new screen size is a sneaky numbers game. I've always hated on screen home/back/nav. To me that is just using up pixels for no reason. In thinking about this taller display I am...

I bought the S8 from very - ETA 20 April. Though currently driving myself bonkers thinking I should have got the S8+. But I'm not a heavy phone user ie, games and other shiz. Price is a bit of a killer for me. Now if I change it for the S8+ I will have to wait til 8 May!

Do you know what the width of the screen measures on the Axon 7? I am in two minds on the S8+ (I've ordered the S8). By using the 'proper' diagonal dimensions the screen is of course bigger than the Axon 7 but I wonder if the S8 will feel narrower/or indeed if it actually is. I am worried...

I've ordered the S8 but am now having the same dilemma. Would the S8+ be too big? I like phones that aren't phablet territory and can be used one handed. The narrower width helps on the S8/+ I suppose. Is there anywhere in the UK we can actually see the devices? Second consideration is paying...

I agree with the stereo front facing speakers - I had an Axon 7 and this is the thing I wish the S8 had the most. Then it would be almost perfect (for me). That said you have the US version which wasn't tempered like the EU one. I returned the Axon 7 because I felt the phone reception and...

Would be really interesting to see the reception quality on that particular phone. I haven't been able to find info to suggest if the antenna is physically different (also the DAC - hence louder) or if it is purely software. I don't see a better phone for the price at the moment so do feel a...

Do you still have your Axon7 US? What will you do if you have any problems? ZTE UK are still pushing the Blade 7 so I don't expect any support from them. Having had the drama of posting one of the phones back to Amazon I'm worried about getting a dud from the US and then having to deal with it.

It does handle 4G whether you get that or not is a different story. I'm on my third Axon 7. The reception has been terrible. By this i mean constantly dropping. I have now installed Network Cell info lite app on the phone to monitor it. My brother is on a OnePlusOne and I have got him to do...

Yes! Me. I have read stories of crisp clear audio. My experience is mushy, kind of muffled and distorted sound. I requested a new one from Amazon. Received that and tested today. Seems the same with the added bonus of more off white screen colour. Now I'm not sure whether the crisp sound is a...

I think you'd be better off paying in Euro. Use a Mastercard for the best rate. Amazon charge is quite high. However don't forget you'll pay a non sterling fee. Mine was about £11.

Why would you have to pay to return it? It's not your fair it's faulty. Amazon should cover those costs in that instance. At least that is my experience with .co.UK.

Mine is going back. Not for a refund though. Exchange for me. Yes there are small details that are annoying (notification light and lack of customization is a big one for me). But my one seems to randomly drop signal connection, even when I. Haven't moved myself or the phone. I don't mean like...

Okay cool. Thanks for the clarification. One technical issue down just two others to resolve!

I guess what I really was getting at is how likely is it that the physical RAM is faulty rather than the software being RAM hungry. I ask as it seems my phone is a bit flaky in a few areas and I wonder if it's just like a b-grade item. But take all the points on board that most likely...

So, reading between the lines here, you guys. Think it's software rather than hardware? I'm just building an evidence base to warrant an exchange. Although the prospect of a two month wait leaves me reluctant.

Excellent post. Thank you. I bought mine from Amazon.de and glad I took the plunge earlier to get it for £370 (£10 was credit card fees). So basically a smidge more than the expect UK price but a small price to pay for knowing i was getting it. ZTE UK are clearly focused on pushing their Blade...

Not sure if this specifically for our US chums. But I have to say I am disappointed with my EU version. The call quality is bad. Not so much about network in terms of stuttering/cutting conversations but in terms of the sound quality. There is a clearly audible background buzz and I can only...

Been running my Axon on and off for a week (not yet my daily driver due to being lazy with backing up my old phone)... Anyway one thing I have noticed is that the phone seems to be always running at over 50% RAM usage. If I launch one app - or anything else - and then clear all it will revert to...

I did check it but and was getting the same kind of numbers - trouble is i realised it's a slightly redundant test. The Galaxy S3 isn't 4G capable so I would see a speed increase. I forgot to mention my observation which is that the Axon runs really warm. Maybe it's the metal body but watching...

Don't want to join the Axon 7 dislike crew buuuuut... Can't seem to get fervent network. Dropping out or really bad 2Mbps but sometimes 30Mbps. I have just changed network to Three so can't do a direct comparison. Well actually I will. Going to stick my sim back in my s3 and continue to do...

uploading now - see post above yours

Received! Excuse the last image - forgot I had the flash on. Too tired to upload/retake again. Will likely do a video review shortly. Quality is also not so great as low light/bright desk lamp and Galaxy S3. First impressions of Quartz grey is that flat on it does look a little silvery. It's...

I originally was set on getting the Moto Z because it's so thin. But then after seeing the price and no capactive buttons or upgradeable storage it was a deal breaker. I went on a bit of a journey and ended up with the Axon 7. We're all gonna say go for that since that is what we're all buying...

can you settle the grey debate? Is it quartz grey (ie dark grey) or silvery grey? Thanks in advance!

Do yourself a favour. Don't wait for Amazon UK. Got my ship date. Conversion rate want too bad. Better using Amazon GBP pricing. Hoping to get it next Friday. I'm sure there'll be loads of pics by then. If not I'll post some.

I'm also seeing the same. No progress. Ordered 2 August at lunch time (12:30ish). I tried the angry "send it to me on express shipping and for free" that didnt work!:laugh::crying:. They said you have to wait or just cancel it. Must be my lack of charm! Will also be interesting to get to the...

That is not sold by Amazon though just to note. I think I've just given up a little and as long as I get one that isn't a returned buggy one then I'll be happy. Would be nice before the end of the month as I'm now stuck on a 12 month 4G contract that I haven't tested! In the mean time I've...

Is that in relation to stock of the grey being in Germany or just at this retailer? If the former than good news potentially for us who are waiting on Amazon.

I ordered mine from Amazon.de on 2nd August. The link you said say grau/gold. Makes me suspicious... the gold just says gold. I'd be worried that they'd send me a gold one instead. I'm kind of stuck anyway as I don't fancy paying EUR460 when I can have it for EUR423 after all the wait the...

For the grau massive this is what Amazon.de have said to me as of this morning: "After contacting our suppliers regarding ZTE 126661101001 Axon 7 Smartphone (13,97 cm (5,5 Zoll), 20 Megapixel, 64GB, Android) grau, we have been informed that the delay in obtaining this title is due to the fact...

Ok, so it seems to me that we are hopefully going to be getting our phones soon. So rather than worry about that I'm now turning my attention to paying for it.... I was one the people that got the Amazon.de price drop but going back through this thread I noticed it's a different price to above...

One or two months?! That just doesn't make sense! The device is in existence and in other territories. And it's just a colour variation! I also have it at the 413 price on Amazon. De. Hard to know whether to look at alternative sources to get it in now.

Not that sad to be honest... pre-ordered at the start of August so got a honour price of EUR 423 including shipping :cool: Brings it to about the expected £360 UK price assuming I don't get done over on the exchange rate. I assume the link you had was not Amazon as such but a third party store...

Wheres the link. When I go to Amazon.de I see it at EUR449. I have pre-ordered mine from there an am a little worried about support - though on this thread some of the posters have said Amazon and ZTE warranty is across EU and UK of this. I am worried though about the rate my credit card will...

I almost forgot about the 6GB variant. I too would be frustrated if it release like a month later. I suspect I will run this phone for 3-4 years as it seems the tech improvements are slowing/waiting for developer ideas to maximise them. So future proofing is defo important - one of the reasons I...

Hey guys, In case you haven't seen this video. Just some info that will help us keep spirits up that waiting for this phone will be worthwhile in the end. Jerryrigs or something like that - basically he damage tests phones to test for durability. I recall on XDA there was uncertainty about...

I think this may be like the OnePlus One in that it's an exceptional package for the price. The Axon 8 or whatever going forward will likely have less bang for buck as with OnePlus Two/X because of demand. I'm hoping that for once being an early adopter (albeit waiting 6 weeks) will pay off...

The only think that would make the wait worth it now for me would be that they used the time to make the capacitive buttons illuminated. It's a small thing but a basic oversight for me (granted might be more cost drive than anything else). I also hope they taken the time to colour code those...
