Limited edition ZTE Axon 7 offers Force Touch and upgraded specs

ZTE threw its gloves in the flagship segment quite ambitiously this year. The Axon 7 managed to turn quite a few heads and impress most reviewers and users alike, us included. It is hard to think of many other handsets that can deliver the same cost-to-performance level as the Axon 7, but if we had to cite one, it would definitely be the OnePlus 3.
And now that OnePlus officially has a mid-life refresh for its famous handset - the OnePlus 3T, a logical way for the Axon 7 to stay relevant, or at least in the user's line of sight, is to do the same. This became reality today, with the roll-out of the Limited Edition ZTE Axon 7.
The upgraded handset comes with a 6GB, plus 128GB setup, in place of the original's 4GB, plus 64GB. On top of that, you get a Force Touch panel as well. The latter will likely be used in a fashion similar to the Huawei Mate S or the Huawei P9 Plus, adding a few extra interactions within the launcher. But taking into account ZTE's history of interesting control implementations, with devices like the Z9, there might be a few surprises still in store.
Other than the aforementioned changes, the rest of the new ZTE Axon 7's hardware remains unchanged. That means, you get the same QHD, 5.5-inch, AMOLED panel, Snapdragon 820 SoC and 20MP main snapper. The only other thing that has changed is the price tag - now bumped up to $499.
