ZTE has unveiled a different version of its flagship phone, the Axon, specifically for its home market. At a recent event in Beijing, the company revealed its global flagship phone, the Axon, together with two other technology products.

According to a Tech Times report, the announcement comes days after ZTE unveiled its high-end flagship phone, the Axon Pro for the U.S. market. Like its U.S. counterpart, the Axon is also a high-end phone, which ZTE hopes will compete with other high-end smartphones in the Chinese market. The phone sports the same technical specifications as the one released in the U.S.
The Axon Lux on the other hand also has the same technical specifications as the Axon, including Corning's Antimicrobial Gorilla Glass, 128 GB of internal storage which is expandable to 250 GB and 3 GB of RAM. The main difference is in the display, the RAM and added biometric security features. The Axon Lux is said to have a 5.5-inch display with 2,560 x 1,440 resolution, has 4 GB of RAM and will have a fingerprint scanner, an eye scanner and software for voice recognition. These additional features are what ZTE hopes will set them apart from the rest of the high-end phones in the market.
