Specs and Features

The ZTE Axon 11 5G features a 6.47 inch hyperbolic curved display. This is similar to the type of display found in the Oppo Find X series and is known to be more expensive than conventional displays. The smartphone carries the general rectangular shape but with rounded corners on every side. One of its highlighting aspects was that its launch placed emphasis on a powerful device that is both thin and light as well, which is true since the device is only 7.9mm thick, weighs 168g and is the world’s lightest 5G handset.
