ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Review: The world’s best Under display camera phone

Paco Zheng — Thu, 09 Jun 2022 07:43:51 +0000

Ever since the concept of under-display cameras has come out, it seems that few phones are willing to try this new technology. It’s true that taking selfies with it will be poor, but you can’t ignore the fact that it can give us a perfect display of a full screen. As one of the pioneers of under-display camera phones, ZTE has upgraded this technology on their latest flagship phone: Axon 40 Ultra. It is probably the best under-display camera smartphone you can buy right now.

ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Review: Design & Under screen Display

I’ve been using this phone for a week now, and while its square design is not destined to fit in my palm, I still love it. It’s different from other phones in that the top and bottom are flat, much like the previous Samsung Note series. But you still can tell the difference between them by the camera module. The Axon 40 Ultra has a similar camera module to its predecessor, but because the camera has been upgraded, it is much larger overall. The SIM slot is still dual-SIM only. There is an infrared emitter and stereo speakers with DTS support. And the joint between the frame and the back panel is smoother, making it better to hold than the Axon 30 Ultra. So the Axon 40 Ultra has little change in appearance compared to the Axon 30 Ultra, but the details are better done.

You must be very concerned about its under display camera, and so am I. So is this third-generation under-display camera selfie better? No, I don’t feel that its selfie effect has been improved. As with the previous under display camera phone, if you like to take selfies, I suggest you choose another phone. Especially in low light, believe me, you won’t be thinking about taking selfies.

The upgrade point is mainly in the display part. Axon 40 Ultra can finally drive the pixels in the front lens area independently. Compared to Axon 30, you can notice that the resolution of the font will not be reduced. This time, you really don’t notice it when watching videos or playing games. It is also not darker than other areas at the highest brightness.

However, we still found its weakness, there will be a black streak in the front lens area in the gray interface or at low brightness. But don’t worry, you won’t find this problem most of the time you use it. Let’s hope that this problem will be fixed through the system when the global version is officially launched.

The Axon 40 Ultra’s screen looks good overall, with a peak brightness of 1500 nits. The default color is a bit greenish, but it’s good to know that you can manually adjust the screen color temperature yourself. I think the visual impact of this complete and flawless screen is better than any specification.

ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Review: Camera Performance

The Axon 40 Ultra’s camera system is not only very strong, but also very interesting. Most phones use a 28mm lens for the main camera, but the Axon 40 Ultra main camera is a 35mm one.

Many users who like photography should know the benefits of a 35mm lens. With less distortion than 28mm and wider than 50mm, it is one of the favorite lenses of many street photographers. Simply put, the photos look better with a handful of shots. The colors are not overly bright either, very clear and very nice. What I like most is the way ZTE handles night scenes. Taking a picture in auto mode will restore the scene as your eyes see it. If you take a picture in night mode, it’s just like any other flagship phone, the picture is very bright. In scenes with more light sources, it doesn’t pull up the exposure even when the night mode is turned on, still retaining the atmosphere of the night.

This approach, which allows the user to make their own choices, is also reflected in the autofocus. If you’ve seen our vivo phone review, you know how much I hate it when the system AI automatically switches lenses. The Axon 40 Ultra lets you choose whether the lens is switched by AI, and if you turn it off, you can lock in a lens shot even if it’s not Pro mode. I super love this switch, I hope Vivo can learn from it.

1 of 4

It is rare that the Axon 40 Ultra uses a large area sensor for both the ultra-wide camera and the telephoto camera. Both cameras perform very well. The telephoto lens in particular gives very good image quality even at night. In my week of use, I can use any focal length I want without reducing the image quality, which is a very good camera experience.

What surprised me even more is that Axon 40 Ultra supports 4k 120fps or 8k video recording for both main and ultra-wide cameras. The telephoto camera is also supposed to support 8K video recording, as the official Chinese website says so. But perhaps because we are the lab system version or the global version, so the telephoto camera can not currently shoot more than 4k resolution. Even so, I have been very satisfied with its video performance.

ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Review: Performance and Gaming

The Axon 40 Ultra is powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. The benchmark score, which you can pause to look at, is the normal 8 Gen 1 level. What disappoints me is the gaming performance, ZTE doesn’t seem to want to let go of all the performance of the processor and let us play to our heart’s content.

If it’s a game like PUBG that doesn’t require full performance Axon 40 Ultra can really run stable. But once your gaming needs get high, then its frame rate curve becomes less than pretty. Just like Vivo, the mobile games that took superb photos this year didn’t perform well, so we’re not going to blame this ZTE’s photo flagship.

The Axon 40 Ultra Global Edition has a charging power of 65w, which is not superfast, but it’s good enough. 33% is charged in 10 minutes, and it takes 45 minutes to fill. Unfortunately, there is still no wireless charging. The battery capacity has been increased to 5000mAh, except when the game will consume more power, the battery life is basically the same level as other Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. If my personal use scenario, turn on the 5G network and do not play games, a full charge can be used for about 8 hours out.

The new MyOS 12 system has become much better. Many features are available, and the operation logic is very reasonable. If the previous MyOS was not that good, this time MyOS is really able to compete with other brands’ systems.

Axon 40 Ultra is actually an improved version of Axon 30 Ultra. The strength of each lens has been strengthened, the hole-punch has been removed, the battery capacity has been increased, and the system has become better.

You can have many reasons not to buy it, but one reason to buy it is enough, that is: Axon 40 Ultra is currently the world’s best under display camera phone.

ZTE Axon 40 Pro leaks online showcasing the phone’s front and back panel

Jeet — Wed, 04 May 2022 07:07:22 +0000

In a few days, ZTE will officially announce the next-generation Axon series flagship smartphones in the Chinese market on 9th May. The company is expected to launch three phones — Axon 40, Axon 40 Pro, and Axon 40 Ultra.

Ahead of the official launch, the ZTE Axon 40 Pro smartphone has been leaked online. The phone shows that someone is holding the smartphone, giving us a proper look at the front panel and the back panel of the device.

It clearly appears that the smartphone will have a punch-hole cutout in the top-center position for housing the front-facing camera sensor. The screen also has minimal bezels and it’s a curved screen, giving it a look similar to the Samsung Galaxy S-series phones.

On the back side, there’s a rectangular camera slab in the top-left corner which has two large circular rings. The first ring houses a single camera sensor while the second circular ring has two camera sensors. There could also be a fourth camera lens outside the circular rings along with an LED flash.

A teaser poster coming from the company has confirmed that the Axon 40 Pro will be featuring a 100-megapixel primary camera sensor but information about rest of the camera sensors remain unknown.

On the other hand, a full-screen Axon 40 series smarpthone with an under-display camera sensor has also been leaked online, which is likely to be the Axon 40 Ultra model. The phone is confirmed to have a 120Hz display and have a 64MP triple camera on the back.

The ZTE Axon 40 series has an Infrared Sensor along with its Underscreen Camera

Leo Wong De Quan — Tue, 03 May 2022 12:15:57 +0000

As ZTE prepares the launch for its flagship ZTE Axon 40 series in May, the company is not shy in teasing the highlighting features of the flagship Axon 40 lineup before the official launch next Monday.

The 2 latest teasers ZTE has revealed today highlight what the Axon 40 offers for the avid mobile gamer out there.

Teaser 1. Source: ZTE

The first teaser confirms the ZTE Axon 40 series will be equipped with an infrared sensor. The reason for this feature is that gamers can screen share their smartphone content easily on the big screen like monitors or smart TVs without worrying about controls being affected.

To illustrate, to reduce the latency of the game controls, instead of the higher latency Bluetooth and WiFi connections, ZTE makes use of the infra-red spectrum to give you a console-like experience like the Nintendo Switch and PS5 Controller which both utilise infrared sensors on their remote controllers as well. The gaming content on the other hand is screen shared via Bluetooth or WiFi technology to reduce signal interference.

Teaser 2. Source: ZTE

The 2nd teaser is regarding the screen of the ZTE Axon 40 series. As announced earlier by ZTE, the Axon 40 series will be featuring ZTE’s next-gen under-screen camera, which pushes the screen-to-body ratio of the device to near 100%. The latest teaser shows that the Axon 40 series will also be featuring 120Hz flat AMOLED displays with a 360Hz touch sampling rate. The ZTE Axon 40 series will not only provide an uninterrupted gaming experience on your smartphone with no notches or punch holes, but also a smooth gaming experience with its high refresh rate display.

The ZTE Axon 40 launch event will be held online on May 9th Monday at 2 PM Beijing Time (UTC +8) / 11:30 AM IST (UTC +5:30). For more news coverage on the ZTE Axon 40 series, stay tuned to Gizmochina for the latest updates on the revolutionary technology within China.

ZTE Axon 40 Series to Feature Next-Generation Stereo Speakers

Leo Wong De Quan — Sat, 30 Apr 2022 23:30:37 +0000

To truly stand out amongst the crowded Android flagship market in 2022, phone manufacturers not only have to focus on putting in “over the top silicon” into their devices but also to consider putting the bells and whistles that the premium user demands in a flagship like a reliable camera setup, a top-tier AMOLED with a high refresh rate, and of course a set of highly commendable speakers for the users to enjoy.

ZTE may have the answer for you if what you’re looking for is a premium pair of speakers on your flagship smartphone as the company is due to launch its flagship ZTE Axon 40 series in China in May 2022.

ZTE Axon 40 teased with under-display camera and narrow bezels

Pranav Sawant — Fri, 15 Apr 2022 08:37:27 +0000

After the debut of ZTE’s Nubia Z40, the brand is headed towards the release of the Axon 40 phones in China. So far, we’ve seen a few models getting certified on TENAA and 3C websites, and some of those models are believed to be Axon 40 phones. In the newest development of the ZTE Axon 40 series, the brand itself has teased the phone’s display.

ZTE has shared a teaser poster for the upcoming ZTE Axon 40 series and we get to see the front panel of the phone. The smartphone has a full-screen display with no side bezels or noticeable camera holes. This means that the phone is using the under-display camera (UDC) technology similar to its predecessor, the Axon 30. The phone also appears to have narrow bezels on top and bottom.

Well, what we see on the teaser poster is a computerized image and the phone’s front may not be as similar as what we see here. However, if the screen on the Axon 40 turns out to be somewhat the same as the poster, it could be one of the phones from ZTE with the highest screen-to-body ratio.

Other than this, previously an Axon 40 phone with a model number A2023BH was spotted on TENAA certification. However, its selfie camera was visible on the front. It could be that this device will be another variant without an under-display camera.

To those unaware, the ZTE Axon 30 that launched last year had three models – Axon 30, Axon 30 Pro, and Axon 30 Ultra. Only the vanilla model had the UDC technology, others relied on the punch-hole camera. Similarly, this year too, we might see the A2023BH(Axon 40 model) with a visible selfie camera, while the variant that the brand teased could be a device with UDC technology.

In addition to this, we recently saw a ZTE phone on 3C and Geekbench certification with model number A2023P. Now, this model number is similar to the A2023BH model hinting that this could be another Axon 40 model. The phone has 80W fast charging and is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, as per certifications.
