But it is a "mess up"
No dual speakers.
Stupid 18:9 screen ratio (useless for screencasting or beaming stuff to smart-tv)
What else can we expect? No Audio jack perhaps?
Yeps, looks like a "mess up" to me.

Don't follow the bad... moreTo be honest, your (Sensible Luxury) should come standard with 6GB RAM/128 GB Hard Drive with 8GB RAM/256 GB ROM optional upgrade. This way, it can start at like $650. But also, it should have a dual lens (maybe a 16 MP wide-angle shooter and 16-20MP main shooter) and a 2K display (instead of 1080p; as Huawei proves, 2K will work with a 4,000 mAH battery; especially with the vanilla Android).
Agree with the mid-ranger though. That would work perfectly.

Let me disagree with you: the last 2017 security update was August and yesterday (January 26) was announced an other one. I just installed the December security updates.
Do you want the latest updates? Get a Pixel, you'll pay like for two Axon 7!

To whom it may concern at ZTE, please make the Axon 9 a worthy successor. Don't follow the bad trends of lately, don't be a "me too", simply make a product that is great to use without the gimmicks and marketing buzzwords.

Basically, it's definitely a good news, for the premium mid-rangers lovers and in general too. Moreover, It will be really interesting to see how it will compare with the OP5T, etc. And how much a flagship killer (if so? Hopefully) it will be?

ZTE only puts in enough software development effort to produce major releases. There are no security releases and bug fix releases are produced only when needed to prevent a large number of product returns. The Axon 7 got its last update on April 30, 2017 and it looks like the next update won't be any earlier than April 2018. No thanks.

ZTE Axon 9 will still be a flagship killer at a lower price point with latest specs compared to their big name competitors, but hopefully it won't be like the Axon 7 limited only to certain regions & markets.

I'm just looking to replace my worn out Nexus 6P with something and while Axon 7 is a bit old and expensive to buy new, I'm afraid Axon 9 will be on the expensive side, to "compete" with the rest of flagships...

They really need to launch Axon 9 (or whatever it will be called) because Axon M will be a fiasco, a lose choise...
to me Axon M is more like a prototype and not a end product, in this way with a 4:3 aspect ratio when unfolded is whay to 2006. They need to put 2 18:9 screens on this, even it will make a wider but not so taller when unfolded!
Sorry ZTE, you Zineded Tru Emerging.
