Let’s face it, after more than a decade of mainstream success, smartphones have become a bit boring. Regardless of the logo, the vast majority of phones stick to the same tried-and-true rectangular format. Sure, there’s been some minor deviations, but few really shaken things up.
It’s 2017; isn’t it about time for a change? Some manufacturers are attempting to do that by curving the edges or just making their phones a bit taller, but ZTE is taking a different, more innovative approach. The ZTE Axon M is unlike anything before it, giving us two screens in one package. The two displays are brought together by a simple hinge that opens up a whole new world of possibilities.
Multitasking with ease
The future is bright, but for whom? The ZTE Axon M is most appealing for hard-hitting multitaskers. Using two screens side by side is incredibly powerful. You can punch through any task thrown at you, while playing a YouTube video on the second screen. You can copy and paste in between documents without switching windows.
Single screen multitasking is just okay on a typical Android device. Once you’ve tried two side-by-side screens, there’s just no going back.
Extend more
But the ZTE Axon M is more than just a multitasking machine. Its extended mode basically eliminates any need you have for a traditional tablet. The Axon M gives you all the screen real estate you could ever need for checking out a map, streaming your favorite movie, or getting some writing done. What makes this so amazing is that it’s a ‘tablet’ that folds into the size of a phone. Slip it into your pocket, and you’re ready to go. Leave the backpack at home.
Personal space
Have you ever wanted to show a video to a friend. Some might see an opportunity to snuggle, but personal space is still important, so use mirror mode to show the same screen on both sides of the phone. You’ll be able to watch the video, while your friend watches on the other side. This is also great for kids in the car, or any time you want to show others what’s going on.
Just scratching the surface
ZTE is just scratching the surface on what might be possible with a dual screened phone. This is a first-generation product fresh out of the gate. It’s basically a brand new concept for the modern smartphone. Imagine what may come down the pipeline in the future. Maybe an e-reader app with two pages at once, or a game with a virtual gamepad on one screen.
