If you are like me and waited for the dual screen to be released with the next Android update, only to be disappointed with how much you have to squint at the small screen, then this device is for you.

The ZTE Axon M has two screens. You can fold it up and stare at only one screen or flip it open to have your screen extended to the other. Its a great phone and like many phones, there are some pros and cons.

Pros:

Great for multitasking. You can watch a Youtube video on one screen and write a Steemit post on the other.
Its rather sturdy and your second screen locks into place rather nicely.
There are four modes for the dual screen. You can mirror the screens for presentation, extend it or display different content on each screen.
A single 20MP camera that's not too bad, can take up to 4k video.

Cons:

One camera. Its 2018 and there's only one camera on the second screen... I mean, the first screen. You get confused which is up and down sometimes with this phone.
Its thick. About 0.5 inches. It took a bit of getting used to with the current generation of phones.
Its rather pricey at about 700USD.
Both screens don't combine and meld perfectly, there's still an annoying line in between both screens.

If you can live with all the phones shortcomings, this is definitely a great phone. As for me, I would probably wait for the new surface phone or perhaps something a bit more refined.
