The short: Buy this. Best 1080p gaming card and this will even take you in 1440p if you choose.
The long: Is this the best, most powerful, most bigly card ever? No. But when you do a price to performance comparison, the RX 480 comes out ahead. With the 8GB version, there is enough VRAM to help future proof the card (will be able to play newer games that load very high quality textures into the VRAM). It is strong enough to play any game at 1920x1080 (1080p) with excellent frames per second (FPS) if not always over 60FPS.
If you are looking at this, you also need to consider the GTX 1060 6GB. Do not look at the GTX 1060 3GB as it is a different chip that the 6GB model. I chose the RX 480 8GB over the GTX 1060 6GB because overall it as a better card and it was more cost effective to choose the RX 480 8GB. It was a no brainier. Better FPS in the games I play and less cash out my pocket.

To start off, this phone was not for me but my dad. He had a Samsung Galaxy with a cracked screen and needed a new phone. My Dad's needs were to make calls and to text. I looked around at many different phone but settled on the Axon 7 Mini.
Pros: The Axon 7 Mini was a larger phone at 5.2" than his last, screen quality is fantastic, okay at best camera, decent battery performance, loud, fingerprint scanner, and I knew I could customize the UI to fit his needs.
Issues with this phone: The camera is "okay" at best. It is slow to open, slow to take photos, slow to focus, terrible low light, and the motion blur is outrageous. When you get everything right, it takes a good photo. With the good images you are not amazed but you are not left really wanting more. It is a solid shooter in optimal conditions. For my dad who takes pictures of my kids (when not on the move), plants, vistas, and other slow moving items.... it works for him.
The CPU is not going to revolutionize your mobile life. It works but has a hard time keeping up with "basic" demands. Items like home screen transitions, scrolling through webpages, opening apps all seem to take longer that they should and have noticeable "lag" or "jitter" to it. My dad foremost uses the Axon 7 Mini as a phone. But this phone is powerful enough to allow him to discover Facebook.... He also takes photos more, texts more, surf the web more, uses GPS (FINALLY!!!!) and has in general accepted modern smartphones and now understands their potential.
The fingerprint scanner. Sure, it has one. Its on the back. COOL! until you use it. I mean, it works.... ish. It reads my dads fingerprint but it is not fast. This annoys him. He taps the reader but it takes it a couple seconds to read the print to unlock the phone. This causes him to repeatedly tap the scanner. Sure, he could just leave his finger on the scanner until it unlocks but he wont do that. It is nice that it unlocks the phone, it is nice that you get one at this price point, just lower your expectation and you'll be fine.
In review: Is this the best phone ever? Not even close. You want that, pony up for a Google Pixel or OnePlus 3t. I have a OnePlus 3t and if you want a amazing phone, get that. If you are on a tighter budget than you should consider the Axon 7 Mini.
