Earlier this month, ZTE’s first smartphone with an under-display camera, the Axon 20 5G was announced for the global market. However, details about the price and availability were not revealed but interested buyers in select countries could make their reservations. Today, the price has now been announced and it is available to purchase in a handful of regions.
The Axon 20 5G is available for purchase in Europe, Asia, and Africa. The specific countries are listed below. ZTE is offering the phone in a single configuration and just one color variant. In China, the phone comes in three configurations 6+128GB, 8+128GB, and 8+256GB but global buyers can only purchase the 8+128GB version for a price tag of $449/€449/£419. It is also only available in black.
Purchasing the ZTE phone is not straightforward as interested buyers have to get an invite code (seriously, ZTE?) before they can purchase. To get the code, you have to join ZTE’s New Vision Club and take a quiz. The quiz’ page says “if you pass the test with flying colors, you will receive an invite code within 72 hours”.

The quiz asks a bunch of questions about the phone such as how the under-display camera technology was pulled off and your favorite feature of the phone. You should read the launch article to get answers to some of the questions.
