ZTE soft-launches LTE-version of its Axon 11 Comments
- 5G phone over 4G one

With the exception of the lowest price-segment (less than $200), making pure 4G phones is a money-losing enterprise for any phone-makers from now on. With D800 based phones approaching $200, SD765G based phones having reached $250, and 5G phones below $150 with forthcoming new 5G SoCs as early as 3Q, we are in a transition to a 5G-phone-only market in the coming months, even though most of the markets are not yet 5G ready.
Even for a smartphone buyer in a 4G market, the reason to buy a pure 4G phone over a 5G phone is fast disappearing. If I can buy a D800 based phone with better spec's at a comparable or more favorable price, why should I buy a P70 based 4G phone?

This is a copy of motorola edge and edge + models. They should have instead used Dimensity 1000 chipset not the 800 series.

It's already listed since 4 weeks on a German price comparison website. I first thought that this was the entry for the 5G model because of the asked price of 350€! Yet a few days ago I noticed a new entry called the Axon 11 5G for 600€! Then I checked back the first device for 350 bucks and saw that it is the 4G model with Helio P70 and 48MP sensor instead of 64MP.
The asked prices for those are bonkers lol.
Thought about handing this news in to gsmarena on last Monday.

The 4G version features Helio P70, which is actually a 2018 chipset!
hey could have given us Snapdragon 700 series chipset like Snapdragon 720G, or even a G-series chipset from MediaTek. But using an old MediaTek processor means that they are saving costs on the performance side

Not even P90? Jesus, what are manufacturers doing?
The market is going to crash with all these useless models out.
Even SD675 would be better than the P70.
