Chinese company ZTE introduced its new flagship smartphone, the Axon Phone, in the United States last week. The company confirmed the device would be available in Canada as Axon Phone Pro in the coming weeks, too.

Today, the handset maker announced the upcoming availability of its top-tier smartphone in China, its native country.

However, the Axon Phone for China comes with different specs and design, as ZTE especially tailored the device to suit this market.

For example, the standard version of Axon Phone will be available in China with 32GB of internal memory, 3GB RAM and 5.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display that supports full HD (1080p) resolution.

The handset will be available in two color options, Ion Gold and Chromium Silver, for just 2,699 yuan, which is about $435 or €395.

On the other hand, the improved version of Axon Phone will feature faux leather on the back and 128GB of storage inside (expandable to 256GB).

Three different biometric authentication options

It will also come with fingerprint scanner, but also eye scanner, both of which are missing from the Axon Phone available in the US.

According to ZTE, this is the world's first smartphone to offer users three different biometric authentication options.

Apart from that, the Axon Lux will be packed with the same specs as the US version of the smartphone, so expect the same Snapdragon 810 CPU paired with 4GB RAM, as well as 5.5-inch Quad HD display.

The ZTE Axon Lux will be available for pre-order in China beginning July 21 for 3,888 yuan outright, which translates into $625 or €570.

Last but not least, ZTE announced plans to launch an Axon Mini version of its flagship smartphone, which will be available in China in the coming weeks.

The smartphone will pack a smaller 5.2-inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display that supports full HD (1080p) resolution, but aside from that no other details have been revealed.
