ZTE has unveiled its latest flagship - Axon 9 Pro - at IFA 2018. The smartphone has all the ingredients of a 2018 flagship, as it comes with the display notch, a slight chin at the bottom, vertically positioned dual rear camera setup, and more. The key highlights of the handset include the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, stock Android 8.1 Oreo, 6.21-inch full-HD+ display, and a 4,000mAh battery. The Axon 9 Pro appears to be a successor to the Axon 7 that was launched back in 2016, instead of the foldable Axon M.
