The Axon 7 mini features hybrid dual SIM card, meaning you have 2 sim cards inserted into the device, and switch between them. This device comes with 32GB of storage and 3GB of RAM. The Axon 7 mini sports a 16 MP main camera on the back with Dual-LED flash with HDR quality, and a 8MP front facing camera, both taking video in 1080p@60fps. This phone runs using a 2705 mAh, non-removable battery (one with permanent adhesive, making repair more difficult).
