As expected, ZTE launched the ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Aerospace Edition today. The latest smartphone from the company celebrates China’s manned spaceflight. For the unaware, China is the only third country to achieve this feat other than Russia and the United States of America.

Talking about the phone, it is almost the same as the standard version. Just like the ZTE Yuanhang 40 Pro Plus Starry Sky Edition, it differs in terms of rear design. Additionally, it houses a secondary chip and comes in only two memory configurations instead of four.

The ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Aerospace Edition features a ceramic rear panel. This panel is manufactured using an integrated nano-casting molding process.

Two ridgelines pass on either side of the cameras on the handset’s back. They mimic the sharp edges of a space shuttle. ZTE says that the entire design is inspired by light and shadow traveling through time and space.

Further, the device comes with an independent security chip. Not much information is available about it. The chipset is likely similar to Titan M series security chips found inside Google Pixels.

ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Aerospace Edition arrives in two memory variants, such as 12GB + 512GB and 18GB  + 1TB. They are priced at ¥5,898 ($824) and ¥7,698 ($1,075), respectively.

The regular version of the smartphone can also be availed with 1TB storage. However, that model is limited to 16GB RAM.

The special edition ZTE premium smartphone is now up for pre-order in China. It will go on sale from December 6.

A new model in the ZTE Axon 40 Ultra flagship smartphone’s lineup is about to get launched in the company’s home market China. Ahead of the launch of the ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Aerospace Edition next week, some details about the phone have been revealed.

In a new teaser poster shared by the company, ZTE has revealed the build material of the upcoming flagship smartphone and has also detailed some of the design processors.

Lu Qianhao, Head of ZTE’s Handset Marketing Divions, has revealed that the ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Aerospace Edition will be using the next-generation HT Xuanjing ceramic material and will use the leading integrated nano-tap casting process for the texture on the device.

As for the front side, it has now been confirmed that the smartphone will feature a third-generation of under-display camera technology, which is also found on the Axon 40 Ultra. We expect the phone to come with a similar set of specifications as the 40 Ultra, except for the memory, which will be increased to 18GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.

The ZTE Axon 40 Ultra, which was launched a few months ago, features a 6.81-inch AMOLED display with a Full HD+ screen resolution of 2480 x 1116 pixels, a 120Hz refresh rate, and an in-display fingerprint sensor.

In the camera department, there’s also a 16-megapixel under-display camera with 2.24μm large pixels, and it uses a third-generation of under-display camera from ZTE. On the back, there’s a triple-camera setup consisting of a 64MP Sony IMX787 primary sensor, another 64MP Sony IMX787 sensor, and a 64MP telephoto periscope lens.

The device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset and has a dual-channel VC liquid cooling system. The smartphone runs the Android 12 operating system out-of-the-box with the company’s own MyOS 12 custom interface on top and is powered by a 5,000mAh battery with 80W fast charging.

After launching the ZTE Axon 40 Ultra flagship smartphone earlier this year, the Chinese company is now gearing up to launch yet another model in the lineup, dubbed ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Aerospace Edition.

The phone will be launched as a successor to the Axon 30 Ultra Aerospace Edition launched last year. The smartphone, which is endorsed by Wu Jing, has already been confirmed by the company, and now it has revealed the official launch date.

The ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Aerospace Edition smartphone will be officially launched in the Chinese market on 29th November. As the name itself indicates, most of the phone’s specifications will be similar to the Axon 40 Ultra smartphone.

We don’t expect any major design changes in the smartphone, and most of the specifications will also remain the same, apart from increased RAM and internal storage support, most likely to be 18GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.

The ZTE Axon 40 Ultra, which was launched a few months ago, features a 6.81-inch AMOLED display with a Full HD+ screen resolution of 2480 x 1116 pixels, a 120Hz refresh rate, and an in-display fingerprint sensor.

The post ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Aerospace Edition to launch in China on November 29 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier this year, ZTE launched its flagship smartphone in the form of the ZTE Axon 40 Ultra, which features an under-display front-facing camera. Now, the company is all set to announce a new Aerospace Edition of the smartphone in the Chinese market.

The ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Aerospace Edition has been teased by the company through a teaser poster. The poster reads, “Space Fortress, about to set sail, TAIKONAUT (Chinese Astronaut),” and Wu Jing has been roped in as a brand ambassador.

As of now, the official launch date is not known, but we expect to get launch information in the coming days. While not much has been revealed about this upcoming smartphone, it appears to be a direct successor of the Axon 30 Ultra Aerospace Edition launched last year with 18GB of RAM and 1TB of internal storage.

The teaser poster shared by the company showcases the smartphone’s back panel in which the camera module consisting of three sensors is placed at the top-left corner. The phone shown in the hands of Wu Jing has a Black colored body.

As the phone will be a variant of the Axon 40 Ultra, we expect most specifications to be similar. The ZTE Axon 40 Ultra features a 6.81-inch AMOLED display with a Full HD+ screen resolution of 2480 x 1116 pixels, a 120Hz refresh rate, and an in-display fingerprint sensor.

The device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset. We expect the ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Aersospace Edition to come packed with up to 18GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 3.1 storage. It may run the Android 12 operating system out-of-the-box with the company’s own MyOS 12 custom interface on top. It is likely to be powered by a 5,000mAh battery with 80W fast charging.

ZTE introduced the Axon 40 Ultra earlier this year with an under-display front camera and a sleek design. And now it seems we’ll soon be getting a special Aerospace edition of the smartphone. It is likely the follow-up to last year’s Axon 30 Ultra Aerospace Edition, which boasted 18GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. Here are the details.

ZTE’s President of Mobile Devices, Ni Fei, recently shared a bunch of pictures clicked by the Axon 40 Ultra Aerospace edition (via Gizchina). The device has never officially been mentioned before. Fei didn’t share many details about the handset, but we expect it to carry the same specs as the original Axon 40 Ultra.

As mentioned, ZTE previously launched the Axon 30 Ultra Aerospace edition with an impressive 18GB of RAM and 1TB storage. However, there were not many cosmetic changes in the handset, except for a Taikonaut (Chinese Astronaut) logo on the back.

We can expect the Axon 40 Ultra Aerospace Edition to follow in the footsteps of its predecessor, meaning it may come in a higher storage variant (probably 18GB RAM & 1TB storage) and look almost identical to the original model.

To recall, Axon 40 Ultra comes with a 6.81-inch AMOLED display panel with a Full HD+ resolution of 2480 x 1116 pixels. The panel offers a 120Hz refresh rate, 100 percent coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut, 10-bit color, 400 PPI pixel density, and 1500nits brightness. It is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, paired with up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. Fueling the handset is a 5,000mAh battery that supports 65W fast charging. It comes with a starting price of $800.

Design and Display

The Axon 40 Ultra is among the rare breed of flagship smartphones to come without a punch-hole on the front panel. Instead, it uses an under-display front camera to provide users with an uninterrupted full-screen experience. Its top and bottom edges are flat, while the sides are curved.

Coming back to the front, it has a 6.81-inch AMOLED display panel with a Full HD+ resolution of 2480 x 1116 pixels. The screen offers 120Hz refresh rate, 100 percent coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut, 10-bit color, 400 PPI pixel density, 1500nits brightness, and an in-display fingerprint sensor.

Cameras

Coming to the optics, the Axon 40 Ultra has a triple camera setup on the rear consisting of a 64-megapixel Sony IMX787 primary sensor with OIS and full-pixel omnidirectional autofocus. It features another 64-megapixel Sony IMX787 sensor for the ultrawide lens (with OIS). Lastly, the device comes with another OIS-enabled 64-megapixel telephoto periscope camera.

The rear camera setup is assisted by a flicker sensor, a ToF sensor, and a tri-microphone setup for audio zoom and audio recognition. All three 64-megapixel cameras of the Axon 40 Ultra are capable of shooting 8K resolution videos.

Coming to the front, the device offers a 16-megapixel under-display camera with 2.24μm large pixels. This is the third generation under-display camera from ZTE which debuted the under-display camera on the Axon 20.

Yesterday, Google officially announced the Android 13 Beta program at the opening day keynote of the Google I/O 2022 conference. Just like the past few years, the search giant has partnered with multiple OEMs to enable developers to try out the upcoming version of Android.

Just like last year with the Android 12 Beta initiative, a total of 12 OEMs are part of the Android 13 Beta program. The only difference is that TCL has been replaced with Lenovo this time around.

Though most companies offer Android 13 Beta for a single device, there are some who provide builds for multiple products. Hence, the total number of eligible devices is actually 22, which happens to be 10 more than the OEMs involved.

Unsurprisingly, Google is the one with the most number of products, 8 Pixels smartphones to be precise. It is followed by Xiaomi with 3 devices comprising two smartphones and a tablet. Oppo is also offering builds for a smartphone and a foldable. Whereas, the remaining brands are limited to a single product.

With that out of the way, let’s take a look at all the smartphones and tablets on which you can try Android 13.

The post ZTE Axon 40 Ultra appears in hand-on video; has 8K video recording appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

From the leaked renders, it appears that the ZTE Axon 40 Ultra will be offered in two different color options — Black and White. To know for sure about the phone’s features, specifications, pricing, and availability, we will have to wait for a few more days for the official launch event to take place on 9th May.

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.

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.

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.
