Official ZTE Axon 7 mini

The Axon 7 mini brings the same impressive stereo speakers that are imbued with Dolby Atmos magic and powered by a dedicated audio chip.

And the screen between them is still an AMOLED, even if the resolution dropped to 1080p (it's still plenty sharp at 424ppi).

The camera switched to a 16MP sensor and f/1.9 aperture and dropped the OIS. Also, video resolution is capped at 1080p. At least the selfie cam is identical.

The mini model also forgoes the Snapdragon 820 chipset and has an older Snapdragon 617 instead. The base model comes with 3GB of RAM and 32GB storage, but you can match the big 7 at 4GB/64GB. This is a dual-SIM phone with a hybrid slot, meaning you can add extra storage if you opt out of having a second SIM.

Improving The Nexus 6P?

To date, 2016 has been one of the best years in recent memory for Android. Samsung and LG have both come to the space with truly awesome flagships in the form of the LG G5 and the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 EDGE. Imaging. Processing power. Design. Features. Specs. Hardware — everything looks, performs and feels as if it is right out on the bleeding edge once again. I am convinced this is why Apple’s iPhone sale are flatlining. The iPhone 6s range just looks remedial next to modern Android handsets.

Last year’s Nexus phone — the Nexus 6P — was easily one of the best releases of the year and an excellent entry for Huawei in the mobile history books. Everything was on point with that handset, from the way it looked, right down to overall performance and processing power. Hell, it even had a decent camera. And that was unheard of in the Nexus space until 2015.

This year’s range, then, have quite an act to follow; beating the Nexus 6P is not going to be easy. But what the Nexus 2016 phones do have going from them is pretty compelling. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 is awesomely powerful and provides huge improvements to connectivity, imaging and overall performance. This is why cameras like the one of the G5 are possible.

Nexus Sailfish's specs

Despite being fairly close to launch there still aren't all that many leaks surrounding the new Nexus handsets, but most of what we have heard is in agreement, including a new benchmark for the smaller Nexus Sailfish.

According to an AnTuTu listing spotted by TimesNews, the Nexus Sailfish has a Snapdragon 820 processor, an Adreno 530 GPU and 4GB of RAM.

That RAM amount has popped up already in a previous benchmark, while a Snapdragon 820 chip has been suggested by both a benchmark and a leaked build.prop file, so with this benchmark now added into the mix those core specs are looking likely.

That would put it in line with most other 2016 flagships, like the LG G5, HTC 10 and US versions of the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Samsung Galaxy Note 7.

The AnTuTu listing reveals a few other things too, including the presence of Android Nougat, which we're fully expecting, 32GB of built in storage and a 1080 x 1920 screen.

LeEco LeMax 2 Pro rumored to have 8GB of RAM

If you thought the 6GB of RAM that the OnePlus 3 launched with was pushing the limits of what's needed in a smartphone you might be baffled by the LeEco LeMax 2 Pro, which is rumored to be launching with 8GB of RAM. That's twice as much as the Samsung Galaxy S7 has and in line with many laptops.

So what can the LeMax 2 Pro possibly be doing with all that power? Not much in all likelihood, but it's not just the RAM that's beyond what's offered by the competition, as according to PhoneRadar, which spotted a Weibo teaser image pointing to a June 29 announcement for the handset, it's also thought to use a Snapdragon 821 processor.

That's not yet been used by any phone, but it's expected to offer a slight performance boost on the flagship Snapdragon 820, found in the likes of the HTC 10 and LG G5. Supposedly the Snapdragon 821 will be a quad-core chip clocked at up to 2.3GHz, rather than the 2.15GHz that the Snapdragon 820 tops out at.
