ZTE Axon Performance and Software

Performance and Software

Under the hood, the ZTE Axon is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chipset, paired with a quad-core 2.3 GHz Krait 400 CPU and an Adreno 330 GPU. During its time, this configuration was capable of handling everyday tasks efficiently and even supported light to moderate gaming. It ran on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, which was relatively current upon release, although it lacked the promise of software updates that more prominent manufacturers typically offer.
