zte-axon-7

We’ve been waiting for a few weeks for the ZTE Axon 7 to go on sale in Australia, and it seems that ZTE has quietly released the device onto the market via their site. The Australian variant of the Axon 7 is available to purchase now for $699 AUD.

Before you run out and buy a device, just know that it seems stock may be a little limited, and according to some, the devices may not be shipping as quickly as they would like. That said, if you can get your hands on an Axon 7 you may just get the best-valued smartphone (Android or otherwise) on the market.

As a bonus, if you grab an Axon 7 in Australia it will come with complimentary accidental damage insurance. Normally $300, the cover seems to give you an amount of “repair credits” to pay for any repairs that may be needed until either the 2-year warranty has expired or you use all of your ‘credit’.

Getting a flagship device fro $699 is great, getting any free repairs included is even better. Need a refresher on the specs? Check them out below.

We’ve been impressed with the Axon 7 since it was first announced back in May. It’s been a long wait to reach Australian availability so hopefully we get some hands-on time with a device soon and can bring you the full Ausdroid Review.

Let us know if you grab yourself a ZTE Axon 7.
