Chinese multinational tech conglomerate ZTE is yet to leave an impression on the highly-competitive global smartphone market. Even though the ZTE Axon 7 came quite close to being a hit in select areas, it never quite made it to the list of notable smartphones sold in the US. Last year, the company unveiled the ZTE Axon 10 Pro with impressive specs and pricing after the US trade ban that was imposed on it was canceled. The phone had arrived in February 2019 with Android 9 Pie OS and now its users in Europe and the U.S. are being treated with the latest Android 10 OS.
The Axon 10 Pro runs on ZTE’s proprietary MiFavor Android skin. The company surprised many by announcing the Android 10 OTA for the smartphone back in December 2019 before a lot of prominent smartphone manufacturers. Now a confirmation has come from the company that it has started rolling out Android 10 OTA updates for users. The size of the update is 1.6GB.
ZTE started rolling out the Android 10 update for European customers a few days back. However, US customers are in for a treat as the company has added a download link to the software at the bottom of the device’s online brochure in the US for installing the update through sideloading. As mentioned, the Android 10 OS can be installed on Axon 10 Pro through OTA.
ZTE Axon 10 Pro Specifications and Features
The ZTE Axon 10 Pro was every bit a flagship smartphone of 2019. Flaunting a 6.47-inch FHD+ OLED display with the Snapdragon 855 flagship chipset and up to 12 GB of RAM, the device was at par with most flagship smartphones from last year. Although it did have its fair share of flaws like lower megapixel count and failure to work as advertised, the extremely competitive $550 price tag meant users did not have a ton of room for complaints.
The Axon 10 Pro smartphone flaunts a triple-camera setup at the rear, consisting of a 48-megapixel primary sensor, an 8-megapixel telephoto lens, and a 20-megapixel ultrawide sensor. The setup comprises of a dual-LED flash module. While the smartphone flaunts a 20-megapixel lens on the front. The Axon 10 Pro draws power from a 4,000 mAh battery with 18W fast charging support. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, USB 2.0, GPS, A-GPS, GLONASS, dual SIM 4G LTE, and wireless charging.
