Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 and ZTE Axon 30 5G are two of the most impressive phones released in the last month. They are the handsets bringing to the market the second generation of under-screen cameras.

But which is the best phone with the under-screen camera? This is a comparison between the specifications of Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 and ZTE Axon 30 5G which will let you find out.

Design

The Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 has a more impressive design because it is built with more premium materials. It has a sturdy ceramic back, an aluminum frame, and a front glass protected by Gorilla Glass Victus, as well as the IP53 certification making it dust resistant and splash proof. The ZTE Axon 30 5G is an affordable flagship and the materials are one of its compromises. It has a glass back and a plastic frame, but it is very thin and pretty lightweight, while Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 is thicker and heavier. Besides the under-screen camera, these phones feature in-display fingerprint readers for authentication.

 

Display

The ZTE Axon 30 5G has an amazing display, but it can not compete with the Xiaomi Mi Mix 4. The latest Xiaomi innovative flagship has an AMOLED panel that is able to show up to one billion colors. It has a 120 Hz refresh rate, the HDR10+ certification, and Dolby Vision, as well as an 800 nit brightness. You can see up to one billion colors with the ZTE Axon 30 5G as well and it also comes with a 120 Hz refresh rate, but it does not have the advanced certifications of the Xiaomi Mi Mix 4. Both the phones have an in-display fingerprint reader and a Full HD+ resolution.

 

Specs & Software

The Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 is a way more powerful phone thanks to its stronger chipset and better memory configurations. It is powered by the Snapdragon 888+ mobile platform paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of internal storage. The ZTE Axon 30 5G is equipped with a Snapdragon 870 SoC, 12 GB of RAM, and 256 GB of native storage in the most expensive configuration. While the Snapdragon 888+ is currently the best Qualcomm chipset, the Snapdragon 870 has a third place. Note that ZTE Axon 30 5G has a micro SD slot, while Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 does not.

 

Camera

Despite the lower amount of cameras, the Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 is a superior camera phone. It has a 108 MP main camera which supports 8K video recording, OIS and laser autofocus, an 8 MP periscope telephoto sensor with OIS and 5x optical zoom, and a 13 MP ultrawide sensor. While the Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 is one of the best camera phones of the year, the ZTE Axon 30 5G provides midrange-class camera performance with its 64 MP quad camera.

 

 

Battery

The Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 has a bigger battery with a capacity of 4600 mAh, and it is able to provide a longer battery life on a single charge. It also supports faster wired charging with a power of 120W. Last but not least, it supports fast wireless charging with a max power of 50W. ZTE Axon 30 5G has a smaller battery and it only supports 55W fast charging (wired).

 

Price

The Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 debuted in China with a starting price of €660/$777, while ZTE Axon 30 5G carries a starting price tag of about €290/$342. We still do not know whether or not the Mix 4 will hit the global shelves, while ZTE Axon 30 5G will be available globally starting from September 9 for €500. The Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 is the winner of this comparison, but you can save a lot of money with the Axon 30 5G.
