Overall speed

[XDA_RealLifeReview]

Would you say that the ZTE Axon 7 is "fast" in day-to-day use? A higher rating indicates that you think the ZTE Axon 7 exhibits fantastic performance. Like, is it as fast as your tears when you watch The Titanic?

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

One of the snappiest phones I've used. On par, or better than the Nexus 6p.

The 820 chipset seems like a decent boost coming from the 801

Does not lag at all

I do experience lag. It's not as snappy as I would expect. https://community.zteusa.com/thread/12239

I recently returned my Note 7 with all bloat disabled I could manage to get lag and skipped frames every few seconds... the Axon 7 is much faster, with almost zero lag during everyday use.

I've had it a little over 36 hours.. This thing is blazing fast AND more importantly, SMOOTH. Transitions don't feel like knee jerk reactions.. When you press the home button or recent button to me it feels like the phone said "I was already beginning to do that."

I was previously using a note 4 (Samsung, it's funny how I have to clarify this as there are several other note devices from other oems now!) And this axon 7 runs laps around my note 4 regardless if my phone was on touchwiz rom, stock, rooted, overclocked, custom Rom, aosp Rom... Still axon 7 smoking my note 4..

Best thing about the phone for me is that I can put it through some heavy usage without it becoming a mini furnace in my hand. Coming from a Oneplus One and Nexus 6p which both had issues where once the phone got hot it seemed to slow down a lot, the Axon 7 hasn't had this issue. Not sure if it'll suffer the same if it does get hot but so far I haven't had any slowdowns due to excessive heat.

I notice on my phone that it thermal throttles a lot. Unless it's cool at around 30 degrees or cooler, it won't hit 2.15 ghz and will generally top around 1.5 on the high speed cores. My antutu scores range from 70k to 140k.

Coming from a LG G4 H812, this phone is pure unadulterated butter! Android doesn't get any smoother than this. Absolutely no complains about overall performance.

How does it compare to the n7.

Compared to my previous phone with a Snapdragon 801...the Axon is a rocket.

device speed is fantastic, performance is been off the charts .

I used to have an Honor 8. Compared to Honor 8 it is a little bit slower
However I haven`t seen any phone as fast as Honor 8

Been enjoying mine. It's fast at anything device based. Once you go online the network can make it lag but no phone can help that. I'd like to have a play with an SD835 or Kirin 970 device but suspect I wouldn't feel so much benefit compared to coming from my Mate 7 and Find 7 up to the Axon 7.
Interested to see what ZTE bring to the market with the replacement of the 7.
