ZTE Axon 20 5G Phone Review

ZTE presented a new 5G smartphone - Axon 20 5G this week, which is the world’s first under-display camera smartphone, delivering the industry’s first true full display. It’s equipped with a 6.92-inch 90Hz OLED display, and supports 10-bit color depth as well as 100% coverage of DCI-P3 color gamut, making the display performance reach the digital cinematic color standards. Moreover, the FHD+ resolution and OLED materials have made the display color clearer and more beautiful. By virtue of a length-width ratio of 20.5:9 and the DTS:X Ultra 3D sound, the device can deliver a cinematic experience.

The new ZTE 5G Smartphone is based on Snapdragon 765G with 6/8 GB RAM, 128/256 GB memory, 4220 mAh, Quad main camera and 32 MP front camera.

But precisely the last point is the highlight of the ZTE Axon 20, because it is the first smartphone that not only has the fingerprint sensor under the display, but also the front camera. So there is no notch and no hole.

ZTE Axon 20 5G features a 64MP super HD main camera that supports 4K high-resolution video at 60fps, super night scenes, video beauty and real-time HDR video in multiple lighting conditions. In addition, the main and wide-angle lenses support image stabilization, which helps shoot videos of higher quality.

With the thickness of only 7.98mm, and the ultra-thin design of double shoulder lines, ZTE Axon 20 5G has inherited the sleek style of ZTE Axon Series.

The 3D curved glass on the back contains ten layers of structural stacks, which have been carefully crafted with 36 different processes to create a unique and gorgeous texture. The Axon 20 5G comes in four vivid colors, including blue, black, purple and orange.

In addition, ZTE has collaborated with the well-recognized UK illustrator Sam Falconer to create an exclusive package for ZTE Axon 20 5G. The design aims to encourage young people to explore more possibilities of the current technologies, by artistically representing the great contributions made by four well-known scientists to mankind.

ZTE Axon 20 5G features the upgraded antenna technology to ensure an ultra-fast 5G experience anytime and anywhere. ZTE’s Super Antenna 2.0 is a cutting-edge PDS antenna with a 360-degree surround integrated design and intelligent closed-loop tuning technology, which can improve network connection stability and download speed.

In addition, the latest MiFavor 10.5 UI system supports movie-level screen optimization and smart screen projection while the large 4,220mAh battery can support 30W Quick Charge and a 5G power saving mode that improves battery life by 35%.

So far, the new mid-range smartphone from ZTE, whose price should cost less than 500 euros, has only been presented for China. If you like this phone, you may buy from some oversea online stores. Below are the specifications of ZTE Axon 20 5G cell phone for reference:
