Make phone calls and listen to music on this unlocked ZTE Axon 7. A 2K display is easy to see outside, and the 64GB of memory is expandable if you add a microSD card, so it can hold more pictures and videos. This unlocked ZTE Axon7 has dual SIM functionality for more flexibility.

Finally .. a stateside dual sim phone with VoLTE... and wifi calling ... well 2 out of three isn't bad.. or is it ?
dual sim .. check
VoLTE .. check
wifi calling ... not (yet) .. rumors stated it would work out of the box, but apparently this is still a work in progress for a future software update from ZTE... OK, I can live with that, so I began using the phone , and tried really hard to like it .. but ... it will be going back.
... sitting in one place, playing games or listening to music, I suppose this phone would be great (except for the camera.. which is surprisingly as bad as other people have reported). However, if you have TMO, and travel and actually use the phone as a ... phone .... or have questions for the Google lady .. you may want to reconsider purchasing this device. The Axon 7 drops one tower and either doesn't pick up the next tower without a reset (reboot-airplane mode on/off- LTE discovery app tower reset), or grabs one with a weak signal, or one from a different carrier even if there is a TMO tower in range. I have spent days watching this happen with the LTE Discovery app ... $400 Axon 7, sitting 2 inches from a $69 Samsung Grand Prime from Wal-Mart .. no cover/case on either. Grand Prime holds and regains strongest signal every time . ZTE forums confirm my experience - https://community.zteusa.com/message/51320
I had the same issue with the LG V10 . Very sad to have TMO tell me I should just use the LTE discovery app as needed on a $700 device .. and now the same response from ZTE support as they have knowledge of this issue, but don't know if it can or will be addressed with software updates. I have 5 more days to return the phone ... and am even more disgruntled that Best Buy has now initiated a $35 restocking fee for phones.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
