ZTE has a lineup of premium smartphones under its Axon lineup and the company has today launched a new device in the series, dubbed ZTE Axon 30S. The naming of the phone is a little odd, given that the company has already launched the Axon 40 series.

The newly launched ZTE Axon 30S comes in two memory variants — 8GB RAM with 128GB internal storage costing 1,698 yuan (~$237) and 12GB RAM with 256GB of internal storage for the price of 2,198 yuan (~$307).

Apart from some minor changes, the Axon 30S smartphone is very much similar to the Axon 30 that was launched last year. Compared to the Axon 30, the company has updated the software and added some camera functions, and reduced the pricing of the device.

The ZTE Axon 30S features a 6.9-inch Full HD+ AMOLED 10-bit display that offers a screen resolution of 2460 x 1080 pixels, a DCI-P3 color gamut, and a 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, the device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 processor.

In the camera department, the phone has a quad-camera setup on the back that includes a 64-megapixel primary camera, an 8-megapixel ultrawide sensor, a 5-megapixel macro lens, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. On the front side, there’s a 16-megapixel snapper for taking selfies and video calling.

The highlight of the smartphone is that the front-facing camera has been placed under the display, meaning that the phone doesn’t have any kind of notch or punch-hole cutout on top of the screen. Not just the camera but the company has also tucked in the fingerprint sensor under the screen.

As for the software, the device is running the Android 12 operating system out-of-the-box with the company’s own MyOS custom interface. The smartphone is powered by a 4,200mAh battery and supports 55W fast charging.

In August 2021, ZTE unveiled the ZTE Axon 30 5G with an under-display camera and Snapdragon 870 chipset. The Chinese manufacturer recently confirmed that it will unveil the Axon 30s on Sept. 27 in China. According to a report by TechGoing, it seems that the ZTE phone with the 9042N model number, which was certified by TENAA in June this year, will arrive on the market with the ZTE Axon 30s moniker.

ZTE Axon 30s specifications (rumored)

The TENAA listing of the alleged Axon 30s reveals that it has a 6.67-inch OLED display that offers a Full HD+ resolution. It will offer a full screen experience since it features an under-display camera. It seems that the device will be equipped with a 16-megapixel selfie camera.

ZTE Axon 30s teaser

The back panel of the device will feature a 64-megapixel main camera. It will be accompanied by 5-megapixel and 2-megapixel auxiliary cameras. The device is expected to come preinstalled with the Android 12 OS.

There is no information available on the Axon 30s 5G’s chipset. The TENAA listing mentions that it will come with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. The device seems to be equipped with an under-display fingerprint scanner. It will house a 4,430mAh battery (rated value), which will have support for fast charging.

As per the TENAA listing, the device measures 163.5 x 75.8 x 7.6mm and weighs around 192.5 grams. It will be available in colors like black, blue, and pink.

To recall, the ZTE Axon 30 featured a 6.92-inch OLED FHD+ display with a 16-megapixel under-display, 64-megapixel triple rear cameras, and Snapdragon 870 chipset. It packed a 4,200mAh battery with 65W fast charging support.

ZTE is gearing up to release a new smartphone dubbed ZTE Axon 30S in China. The company is yet to reveal the launch date. However, it has started teasing the features.

So far, the brand has teased the phone’s display and its form factor. Let’s take a look at these details.

The upcoming ZTE Axon 30S has been confirmed to arrive with an under-display camera. It is not surprising as last year’s Axon 30 also had it.

Further, the handset has been disclosed to measure 7.8mm in thickness and weigh 192g. The teaser renders show no side-mounted fingerprint sensor. Hence, the biometric sensor will likely be underneath the display, just like the selfie camera.

Unfortunately, that’s all the information we have on the ZTE Axon 30S. Unlike most devices, this one is yet to leak. Perhaps, it may leak soon in the coming days. At the same time, we are also looking forward to more official teasers and launch date announcement from the company.

Talking about its predecessor, the ZTE Axon 30 sports a 6.92-inch 10-bit 120Hz OLED display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC, 64MP primary camera, 16MP under-display selfie camera, 4,200mAh battery, and supports 65W fast wired charging. We expect the Axon 30S to come with a similar set of features.
