Earlier today (23rd March 2020), ZTE officially announced the new Axon 11. The new smartphone features 5G networking and is a part of its plans to launch handsets with the newer and faster bandwidth.

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.

Under the hood, the ZTE Axon 11 5G sports Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 765G SoC and is powered by a large 4,000mAh battery pack. It even supports 18W fast charging, Quick Charge 4+, and AI facial recognition features. In terms of optics, the AXON 11 arrives with a 64-megapixel primary camera alongside an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, 2 megapixel Macro and another 2-megapixel depth of field sensor. On the front, a 20-megapixel camera is housed on a small waterdrop notch.

Notably, the ZTE AXON 11 5G also offers a bunch of image and video editing software features including filters, stitching transition effect, tinkering with the video speeds, background music and much more.
