ZTE Axon M: The future of smartphones is foldable

ZTE AXON M

The ZTE Axon M is the future of smartphone design that’s already here in 2017, and it literally acts on the phrase two is better than one. Here’s another phrase: it’s way ahead of its time.

You’re looking at the first foldable, dual-screen Android phone with modern specs, and it’s an incredibly ambitious idea from the Chinese phone maker that’s not afraid to take risks to beat Apple and Samsung to the latest technology innovations.

It combines two 5.2-inch full HD displays into a single smartphone, and they’re either folded back-to-back – the width of a normal phone with a glass front and glass back – or expanded out to the dimensions of a Nexus 7 tablet.

Yes, it contains a seam in the middle where these conjoined screens come together on a hinge and is thick when folded up , but the potential benefits of having two screen outweigh these obvious issues, and this is just the beginning of the dual-screen idea.
