ZTE Axon A1R
Source: BC Hardware English Archive.org version
I've used a few ZTE devices over the last few years and I've come to respect what ZTE is capable of and the price at which they pull it off. While some of the earlier ZTE devices I looked at were aimed squarely at the budget market, the Axon steps up a notch and enters the market at the crowded mainstream. It's pretty easy to mistake the ZTE Axon for a flagship device.

At around £300 it doesn’t blow the likes of the OnePlus 2 out of the water or anything quite so dramatic, but we’d go so far as to recommend it over the similarly priced HTC One M9 or as a cheaper alternative to the likes of the Xperia Z3+. Nicely done ZTE, can’t wait to see what you’re cooking up next.

Source: Tom's Guide English Archive.org version
The $449 Axon Pro has some standout features, but ultimately, it left me unexcited. It offers a sumptuous display, outstanding audio and a camera that lets you have a lot of fun with focus. However, a polarizing design, short battery life and some software annoyances hold it back. I also want better picture quality, especially given the dual-lens setup.

ZTE Axon Pro review
Source: GSM Arena English Archive.org version
ZTE surely took its time to enter the high-end smartphone market in the United States, but the Axon Pro proves that the wait has been well worth it. The newcomer presents a convincing package of well thought-out looks, superb build quality, high-end specs, and yet to be matched after sales support. The design of the smartphone impressed us with attention to detail that's not to be expected in the price range the Axon Pro inhabits. The same goes for the quality of the device's overall fit and finish.

Source: Engadget English Archive.org version
I've got to hand it to ZTE: The Axon is the sort of powerful, budget-friendly phone I never thought the company would, or could, make. It's got gobs of power. It's mostly well-built. The camera isn't half-bad. And that tantalizing $450 price tag currently represents the floor -- the least amount of money you could spend on a phone as well-specced as this.

So, is it worth it to pick up the ZTE Axon Pro over some of the aforementioned devices? Naturally, that’s tough because there are still opportunities to advance its performance in the areas of its camera and battery life. If you’re looking for the savings in a high-end, flagship phone, you’ll certainly get it here with the Axon Pro – whereas devices like the iPhone 6 and Galaxy S6 will still cost you at least $650. This is just the beginning, as the Axon Pro is meant to be the bridge device in getting ZTE’s name into the minds of consumers. So far, it strikes a nerve that’s deeply electrical. Let’s just hope they can use the momentum to their advantage.

Flagship with some issues. The ZTE Axon Elite is the current flagship device from the Chinese manufacturer in the European market.

During the time with the ZTE Axon Elite, I have been part impressed with ZTE and part frustrated. For the most part, everything feels thought out and well-put together. The ability to tweak and change the wallpapers and themes was a lot more fun than it really should be. Yet, trying to set it up to the way I liked it felt like a chore, not a pleasure. The ringtone is nice and loud, but it’s louder than I want for longer than I want. It’s nice to hold in the hand, but in use it kept feeling that little bit slippery when I was trying to work one-handed.

The ZTE Axon Elite has great specs and some interesting tech at an excellent price, but while we appreciate many users will love the design we aren't entirely taken by it - especially the fake-leather parts on the rear. If you can't get the OnePlus 2, this is a close second best - and much easier to get hold of.

ZTE Axon Mini Premium

The ZTE Axon Mini Premium is a mid-range smartphone with premium experience. It is an affordable model and the pared-down version of the ZTE's flagship phone Axon. Although its back is made of plastic, it is made from the "Boeing 787 aircraft-grade aluminium-titanium alloy". This heavy duty material gives the smartphone a premium look with an excellent feel. The Android 5.1 Lollipop device does not go overboard with pre-installed applications. It features a 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 616 octa core processor, 3 GB of RAM, and 32 GB of internal storage. It is suitable for multitasking and the storage capacity can be expanded by up to 128 GB with a microSD card. The capacitive touchscreen uses AMOLED technolgy and features Full HD resolution and a pixel density of 442 PPI. It is a great display, which is crisp and gorgeous to look at. Although its 13 MP camera does not take the most detailed pictures, it delivers superb colors and good clarity even in low-light conditions. This smartphone brings extra value with high-end audio, a fingerprint reader, eye recognition, and a pressure-sensitive display, which, however, is not as comprehensive and sensitive as the Apple's 3D touch. The ZTE Axon Mini Premium is available in Gold, Chromium Silver or Rose Gold, but not in pure black. It has a weight of 140 g and a 2800 mAh battery, which is above average and able to handle a full day's usage with around 4 hours of screen-on time.

At just under £230, the ZTE Axon Mini is for the most part a handset worth considering. The UI needs a lot of work and the phone as a whole could have been refined a little more before hitting the market, but it boasts respectable performance, a nice screen, a surprisingly good camera and a solid feature set for the price.

I wouldn’t recommend the Axon Mini over other mid-range options. It’s got a good screen, is a quick device when it works, and has some nice extra features, such as the pressure-sensitive touch screen. But having experienced performance issues and finding myself still confused by the phone's downright strange design, I can’t really say it’s worth going with ZTE over better-known brands. I can’t think of why you would choose the Axon Mini over say the OnePlus X. ZTE’s device is slightly more expensive than the OnePlus, and if my experience is anything to go by, sometimes it won’t even work.

If you’ve felt that we’ve been too critical of the smartphone thus far – it is this price point that caused us to be. Well, that and the fact that we really liked the vanilla Android-toting Axon Pro. The Mini packs a lot of tech, impressive on paper but not so much in real life. Force Touch – great, but unresponsive and unnatural-feeling; fingerprint scanner – awesome, but not quick or reliable; iris scanner and voice unlock – clunky and impractical; 13 MP camera sounds great, but performs worse than some cheaper handsets we’ve reviewed. It feels more like a tech fan’s toy than an actual, fleshed out upper-midrange smartphone.

Overall the Axon Mini is an interesting device, ZTE has added quite a bit of extra value with the pressure-sensitive display, the fingerprint reader and the high-end audio. The 3GB of RAM is also good to see, as is 32GB of storage. The main thing I feel that lets down the phone is the processor, it isn’t a deal breaker, but having a better processor would seem more appropriate alongside all those extra features.

ZTE Axon 7

At first glance, it is hard to pull off the Axon 7 as a budget phone. It is a solid-looking and well-built phone, which ZTE claimed was designed in collaboration with Designworks, a subsidiary of the BMW group. It is equipped with a 5.5-inch WQHD AMOLED display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. With its dual LTE capacity, the Axon 7 automatically suggests the best SIM based on the user’s calling patterns. The device runs on Android 6.01 Marshmallow and its performance is powered by Snapdragon 820 2.15 GHz processor. The internal storage of the ZTE Axon 7 has the capacity of 64 GB with 4 GB RAM or 128 GB with 6 GB RAM and it comes with a MicroSD expansion slot. which supports up to 256 GB. With a 20 MP rear camera with an aperture of 1.8 combined and a 8 MP front camera with aperture of 2.2, its capacity of delivering crystal-clear photos with multiple functions and modes is unquestionable. Ample connectivity is supported by WiFi, A-GPS and Bluetooth. A fingerprint sensor allows users to customize gestures for unlocking purposes and ID recognition. One key highlight of the Axon 7 is, the high audio quality thanks to HiFi audio. All things considered, its affordability makes the Axon 7 a highly desirable phone. The difference to the ZTE Axon 7 Mini for example is a 0.3 inch bigger display with 2560x1440p instead 1920x1080p resolution, somewhat better camera, cpu, gpu and double memory.

ZTE have done a half decent job with the Nougat software. Very few manufacturers leave the Google software alone these days and ZTE’s take on Nougat isn’t as bad as many others’. While it’s not perfect it is certainly not a poor experience, once a decent keyboard and launcher was installed.

So look for headphones with flat impedance curves (good luck finding that in specifications though!) and fairly high sensitivity, and all should be fine.

ZTE Axon 7 quick review – a high-end smartphone at a reasonable price
Source: Laptop Media English Archive.org version
Top specs go hand in hand with top price and this is quite normal. But what if a company that is not at the top of the pyramid of the smartphone market offers a device which is not inferior to other high-end smartphones? ZTE have tried doing exactly this and have succeeded to a large extent. Their Axon 7 looks amazing and provides high-end features.

90% Review: ZTE Axon 7 smart phone

The ZTE Axon 7 is a very good smart phone with a very good screen and very good performance at a price of around two thirds of that you’d pay for one of the big names in phones. That’s pretty impressive.

80% ZTE Axon 7 Review: Affordable Flagship Greatness
Source: Tom's Guide English Archive.org version
The Axon 7 does stumble a bit when it comes to low-light shots, and its loud speakers don't always offer the best bass. The OnePlus 3 and Alcatel Idol 4s are both worthy alternatives — the former for its whopping 6GB of RAM, the latter for its bundled-in VR headset — and both offer better battery life. The OnePlus 3 is still our favorite sub-$400 phone out there, but the Axon 7 is an extremely close second.

ZTE Axon 7 Review: The Best Value And Sounding Smartphone In The World
Source: Forbes English Archive.org version
But other than superficial aspects, I have no real complaints with this phone. Regular readers know I place a lot of emphasis on value in my reviews (I'm not going to judge a $400 phone the same way I do a $850 phone, and I think phones that cost north of $700 should be scrutinized. That's why I thought the HTC 10 was a pile of "meh"), so whatever minor nitpick I have, such as a less-than-stellar low light camera performance or silly gesture shortcuts or no backlight for capacitive buttons that are too close together, I just tell myself "dude this phone is $400," and I don't think it's bad at all.

In the end, if you think you want a ZTE Axon 7 you are most likely the kind of person who will be able to get it working just right. From my time with the Axon 7 I’m desperate to get my hands back on one when the Android 7 update comes out and have little reservations in recommending it.

Yes. At $400, the Axon 7 is a no brainer. It packs a speedy processor, the best audio we’ve heard on a smartphone this year, a great display and camera, and software that’s unobtrusive. It may not sport dual cameras, bleeding-edge silicon, or an ungodly amount of memory, but to call the Axon 7 a slouch is to do it a disservice. Short of smartphones hundreds of dollars more, it’s one of the best on the market.

The ZTE Axon 7 is the company's knight in shining armor that's meant to take US shores by storm. We've got good news for you ZTE: you're on the right track with the Axon 7. However, success isn't guaranteed, and that's a bummer considering how great of a product you've put together.

Source: Android Guys English Archive.org version
The all-metal build that carries over to the front-facing speakers has caught more than a few eyes when using in public, and the screen of this phone is a thing of sheer beauty. I can confidently say these are the second best speakers I’ve ever heard on a smartphone and I’ll definitely miss having those. Playing Fallout Shelter and Monument Valley provided the best gaming I’ve experienced on a phone, and to the average user, every day usage is going to feel very fluid.

Can’t quite kill the flagship killer
Source: Mobile Syrup English Archive.org version
The ZTE Axon 7 is, all things considered, a fantastic device at a terrific price point. On paper, in many ways, it outstrips the OP3. But when it comes down to the essentials — processing, camera and design, in particular — it feels as if the line has yet to fully find its feet, while the OP3, now on its third attempt to kill flagships seems a more confident and stable offering.

ZTE Axon 7 review: Incredible hardware, dicey software
Source: Android Central English Archive.org version
The Axon 7 also sports a USB Type-C port, which is becoming increasingly common among Android phones in 2016. And while the company ships a Quick Charge 3.0 charger and Type-C cable in the box, it generously provides a micro-USB adapter for those who want to keep using those older, far more ubiquitous cables. It's one of many nice touches in a box that includes a very decent pair of headphones and the aforementioned clear TPU case.

I'm still not convinced that the ZTE Axon 7's $399 price tag isn't a typo. This smartphone performs like something that costs hundreds of dollars more, with a fast processor, a rich display and a stunning design that oozes care and quality. The phone's MiFavor interface adds some nice software touches without getting in the way, while its 20-megapixel camera takes gorgeous outdoor photos complete with plenty of tools for photography nuts.

ZTE Axon 7 Mini

The ZTE Axon 7 Mini is essentially a re-bundling of the much celebrated Axon 7 in a smaller package. At first glance, it is an impressive looking phone as it sports the Axon 7’s full metal unibody design. It is comfortable to the grip as the dimensions measure at 147.5 x 71 x 7.8 mm. Weighing only 153 grams, it is suitable for one-handed operation. Its aluminum body not only makes this phone highly durable but also highly appealing. On the display front, it features a 5.2-inch AMOLED Full-HD Display with a pixel density of 423 ppi. It is also shielded with Corning Gorilla Glass Gen 4 for additional durability. Its screen may be downsized; nevertheless, visuals and images appear remarkable and spectacular. Playing games and watching videos on this phone is pleasurable. Furthermore, it is paired with Dolby Atmos Digital surround sound and dual stereo speakers, which allow users to enjoy crystal clear HiFi audio. The Axon 7 Mini is powered by the highly favored Qualcomm Octa-Core Snapdragon 617 processor (Adreno™ 405 GPU). It is integrated with 3 GB of RAM, 32 GB internal storage and an SD memory slot, which makes expanded the storage capacity by up to 128 GB possible. This makes the Axon 7 Mini a powerful mid-range multi-tasker, which is capable of running memory intensive apps. Another key feature of this smartphone is its large, non-removable battery rated at 2705 mAh. It is capable of up to 15 hours talk time and on top of that, Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 enables time for full charge at a mere 90 minutes. That being said, it slightly disappointing to not see the latest Quick Charge 3.0 on a newer device like this. On the brighter side, it does come with the newer USB Type-C connector rather than a micro USB port. A fingerprint scanner can be found at the rear side of the smartphone beneath its camera to ensure security at every touchpoint. For optics, it is fitted with a 16 MP rear-facing camera and an 8 MP front facing snapper. Its primary lens is also optimized with an ISO-cell sensor and sapphire lens with F/1.9 aperture. This makes capturing pictures possible even under low light conditions. Overall, pictures captured by the camera are decent enough. Its front facing camera is equally impressive as it is enhanced with F/2.2 aperture with 88 degree wide angle lens. This is particularly useful for taking group selfies or even for larger scenery photos. ZTE ships the Axon 7 Mini in dual SIM mode. It comes preinstalled with Android 6.01 Marshmallow and is available in two colour variants i.e. gold and gray. Its low price factor will be a strong selling point as it is packed with fairly high specs for a compact smartphone. Hands-on article by Jagadisa Rajarathnam

Is the Mini version all you need? In addition to the flagship model Axon 7, the Chinese manufacturer once again offers a Mini version of the current model. Besides the size and the features, the price was reduced as well. But can the Axon 7 Mini compete with the strong rivals?

ZTE is hardly able to compete with the bigger smartphone manufacturers but its Axon lineup can definitely be called quite successful. After the strong performance of Axon 7, it is now time to review Axon 7 mini, which is one step lower in the price range, but it can undoubtedly compete with the popular names in this class.

There's a lot to recommend the Axon 7 Mini if you're in the market for a phone that won't break the bank. This device retains the same great design as the flagship-challenging Axon 7, while making acceptable trade-offs in performance to keep the price low. The rear camera can turn out some pretty good-looking images, and watching videos on that vibrant screen with stereo sound is a pleasure.

Despite all that, the software just feels a bit too sluggish and hampered by its hardware specs, which is a shame when its bigger brother is such a big leap forward for not that much more of an investment. It’s a solid offering from ZTE, but it isn’t a standout. If you find it at a discount, then it becomes a more compelling option.

ZTE launched the Axon 7 Mini at $299, which is way too high for this phone to be competitive. Since launch, though, it’s fallen in price and has hovered around $199 pretty permanently, which definitely puts the phone in a place where you should seriously consider it.

As for processing power, the smartphone stocks a 1.5GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 processor with 3GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage, expandable by MicroSDXC up to 128GB. The device has been responsive and able to manage heavy processing loads well within my limited test period, though I’ve had an app crash.

The Axon 7 Mini falls short of being the platonic ideal of a “mini” phone, one that takes a flagship, features intact, and gives us a handset with a smaller screen. Instead, it practically turns that approach on its head, barely decreasing size at all, and instead bringing us a phone that might be better called the Axon 7 Lite, dialing back on processing power and bells and whistles.

While the ZTE Axon 7 Mini costs $100 less than its larger sibling and has the same premium build quality, it makes a number of compromises to reach its lower price point. Many of the things we love about the Axon 7, like its Quad HD display, Snapdragon 820 processor, 4GB of RAM, big battery, and dual-band Wi-Fi are all absent here. Rather than looking at it as a "mini" version of the Axon 7, you should instead look at the Axon 7 Mini as an entirely different phone. Ultimately, it's up against other midrange options like the Moto G4 and the Life One X2, both of which offer similar performance for $100 less. The G4 is a particularly compelling alternative since it has a cleaner UI and support for all major US carriers. If you're looking for a truly compact phone that doesn't compromise on its specs, the Google Pixel is your best option, but it costs twice as much. Most people will still get the best combination of price and performance by paying $100 more for the Axon 7, which remains our Editors' Choice.

I found the Axon 7 it to be good enough to compete with the OnePlus 3, and for some, even Samsung’s Galaxy S7, in spite of its $400 price tag. It makes sense, then, that ZTE would create a smaller version of the widely praised device, hitting the $300 price point in the process.

The Mini isn't going to rival the performance of flagship devices, but you won't find many of its best features on higher priced setups. It's a fully capable Android phone, with a bright AMOLED display, front-facing speakers with Hi-Fi audio and a microSD card slot that doubles as a second SIM card slot. Best of all, it's affordable and comes unlocked, meaning everyone is invited.

ZTE's progression to the high end is going nicely, with the Axon 7 looking to be its best effort yet. It's compact, well made and packing punch in all the right places. It's also sensibly priced, coming in under the OnePlus 3 and sitting just above the Moto G4 Plus. You get a lot for your money here, and that's always good.

There's a lot of competition in the midrange market right now, with choices ranging from the OnePlus 3 to the Huawei Honor 8$399.99 at Amazon to the Motorola Moto G4$149.99 at Amazon. If the Mini stands out, it'll stand out for build quality. It's a warm, gorgeous metal unibody design in jewel tones, at a level where most of its competitors are plastic. The smaller size actually helps play that up: since you can more easily wrap your hands around the Axon 7 Mini, you are more able to appreciate its warm metal and curved form.

In conclusion, the ZTE Axon 7 mini will probably push the Axon brand down to the ~$300 level, and it is a very good spot to aim at. At this price point, the obvious competition would be the Google Nexus 5, the Sony XPERIA Z3+ and HTC One M9 and all of those have very good user reviews. It looks like a good topic for research.

In conclusion, the ZTE Axon 7 mini will probably push the Axon brand down to the ~$300 level, and it is a very good spot to aim at. At this price point, the obvious competition would be the Google Nexus 5, the Sony XPERIA Z3+ and HTC One M9 and all of those have very good user reviews. It looks like a good topic for research.

ZTE Axon 7 Max

The smartphone market is ever increasing and competition inevitably turns rife and stiff. Consumers ultimately benefit as manufacturers push to produce cheaper and better smartphones. The release of the ZTE Axon 7 Max marks the sequel to its highly successful Axon 7. At first glance, this smartphone bears the form of a well-made device. Notwithstanding its wide display, it maintains a slim profile. The back of the phone is metal built, which feels smooth and pleasant to the grip. The ZTE Axon 7 Max sports a 6-inch full-HD IPS display with a pixel density of 367 ppi. One of the key features in the Axon 7 Max is the introduction of 3D viewing capabilities with naked eyes (‘naked 3D’ display) on this device. This technology allows for the viewing of 3D content on the smartphone’s display without the need for polarized glasses. This will certainly appeal those who rely on smartphones for extensive video viewing. In terms of performance, the Axon 7 Max runs on an octa-core Snapdragon 625 processor with a whopping 4 GB RAM. This processor has recently been a popular choice among manufacturers for their mid range devices largely due to its energy efficiency. The expanded memory is essential for maximising performance in graphics intensive programs. The internal flash memory has a capacity of 64 GB. The storage capacity can be expanded by up to 200 GB with a microSD card. Users will definitely need this bloated storage to store contents with rich graphics. For the shutterbugs, the ZTE Axon 7 Max sports dual 13 MP cameras at the back with laser autofocus and a dual-LED flash module. The front-facing camera on the other hand is an 8 MP shooter for selfies. The cameras aren't particularly special in any way, but they do the job. A circular fingerprint scanner sits at the rear side of the smartphone. Connectivity on the ZTE Axon 7 Max includes Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, A-GPS, Glonass, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and a USB Type-C port. To pair its superior high graphics performance, this device is packed with dual Hi-Fi AK4962 audio chips for better audio output. It is integrated with some remarkable audio based features, including a real time voice translator, voice activated camera commands for multi-shot and timers, and a voice assistant. The Axon 7 Max runs on the latest Android 7.0 Nougat. Overall, the Axon 7 Max brings apparent improvements compared to its predecessor. One notable upgrade is the integration of the 3D viewing capabilities with naked eyes. Whether or not such improvements warrant an upgrade remains a moot point but it certainly adds some spice to the already dense industry. Hands-on article by Jagadisa Rajarathnam

ZTE Axon M

The ZTE Axon M has two screens stacked on top of one another and folds open to form a 6.75-inch mini-tablet. It isn't a new concept. It apes the Kyocera Echo and Sony Tablet P, both of which also had two screens attached together with a hinge and were mediocre. Thankfully, technology has progressed in the five to six years since, and the Axon M is faster, smoother and has more capabilities. Its two screens come in handy with some day-to-day tasks and can be surprisingly useful in very specific instances, like multitaskers who want to use apps side-by-side or gamers itching for that Nintendo 3DS look and feel. Compared to the streamlined design found on many of today’s smartphones, even some affordable ones, the ZTE Axon M is bulky. When closed, the Axon M is an extra-thick 5.2-inch phone with all its buttons on the left edge and a hinge on the right. When a user wants to use the extra screen, they will have to fold the second display from behind, like opening a book with the binding toward a user and the pages facing downward. One of the control buttons on the side is a quick launch button. A user can double-click it to launch the camera. A long press lets the user assign the default app. Users can also have the "TV Mode" as default app. This automatically sets the phone to the expanded viewing option and opens a video-viewing app of their choice. From a technical standpoint, the ZTE Axon M is a small step up from the company’s last smartphone, the ZTE Axon 7. It has similar specs to the Google Pixel from 2016, complete with 4 GB of RAM and the Snapdragon 821 powering the experience. There’s only a single 20-megapixel camera on the Axon M. Hitting a button to switch between the front- and rear-facing camera on this phone actually flips the entire screen around to the other display. Photos are filled with detail and accurate color. Low-light performance is so-so, but it should be so much better with the camera’s f/1.8 aperture value. There appears to be no help on the software side of things to even out the lighting and color balance, as night-time photography does not look as well-lit. Even with heavy use of the two screens, the 3,180 mAh battery didn’t have any problems making it to the end of the day. The screens don’t hurt battery life that dramatically. The ZTE Axon M operates like 99% of all other Android smartphones. Promised to receive Android Oreo in the near future, for now, it’s loaded with Android Nougat 7.1.2. As such, a user will find stock features like split-window multitasking with ZTE’s own layer on top of it. Hands-on article by Jagadisa Rajarathnam

84.9% ZTE Axon M Smartphone Review | Notebookcheck
Will that work? ZTE delivers the first "foldable" smartphone. While we would have imagined something else, the statement is right in principle. With its two displays and hinge in between, the Axon M reminds us a little of the old Nokia Communicator, but it can do so much more. What exactly that is, we gathered for you in our review.

ZTE doesn't launch a lot of phones in India, and we don't have confirmation about whether the Axon M will come here at all. If or when it does, we'll put it through all our usual tests and spend enough time with it to give you an idea of how it might work as your next primary device.

ZTE Axon M Review: Are Dual Displays Better Than One?
Source: G Style Magazine English Archive.org version
I respect ZTE for trying something different(but not new) as we have grown accustomed to a candy bar style of smartphone but right now that form factor is working. Especially with behemoth displays getting over 6” depending which phone you use. I think it has potential but I’d like to see maybe if ZTE can do it without the glaring fold in the middle, utilize more screen real estate and also not make the glass so glossy.

ZTE Axon M Review: Are Dual Displays Better Than One?
Source: G Style Magazine English Archive.org version
I respect ZTE for trying something different(but not new) as we have grown accustomed to a candy bar style of smartphone but right now that form factor is working. Especially with behemoth displays getting over 6” depending which phone you use. I think it has potential but I’d like to see maybe if ZTE can do it without the glaring fold in the middle, utilize more screen real estate and also not make the glass so glossy. The price tag isn’t going to garner much buyers too with its coming out to $724 and is exclusively under the AT&T brand.

The ZTE Axon M has a heavy and awkward design that's genuinely useful for gaming and multitasking. But if you're not down to go double, spend your money on either a top-tier phone, or a cheaper phone with the same specs as the Axon M.

40% ZTE Axon M Review
Source: Phone Arena English Archive.org version
When it comes down to it, this isn’t the worst effort ZTE could have made, although it is a bit half-baked, and the Axon M falls short in key areas. Unfortunately, software is the one of the most deficient areas of the M. Simply stretching and splitting content in accordance with the in-built functionalities of the Android OS leaves the user with a rather slapdash user experience. Games can’t take advantage of the large double screen in any real way, videos are rather unpleasant with the black bar in the middle, and transitions between screen modes are often dreadfully unresponsive.

It isn’t enough to just put another screen on an existing smartphone if it doesn’t first address its core experience – and that, in a nutshell, is the main problem with the ZTE Axon M.

ZTE Axon M hands-on: the most unique device this year
Source: Android Authority English Archive.org version
We’ve seen a lot of interesting smartphones in 2017, but the Axon M stands out as the most unique device this year, and arguably in the past few years, too. There’s no doubt the Axon M is going to catch your attention, but do you think it offers enough? What do you think of ZTE’s latest attempt at being different? Do you need two screens? Are foldable displays the next big trend or nothing more than a clever gimmick like 3D cameras?

ZTE Axon 9 Pro

The ZTE Axon 9 Pro is the Chinese company’s newest flagship phone. It comes with many premium features and great performance hardware. The phone features a familiar glass sandwich design with a metal frame, but it feels lightweight in hand. The finish is a 2.5D hardened glass on the front and 3D tempered glass on the back, which makes it quite vulnerable to drops. The display of the ZTE Axon 9 Pro is a 6.21-inch OLED display. It has a 2,248 x 1,080 resolution, which is plenty sharp, as well as an 18.7:9 aspect ratio. Users can experience crisp picture quality, brilliant colours and strong contrasts with the Axon 9 Pro. ZTE's new graphics technology, HDR10, and Axon Vision™ make playing games, watching movies and pictures ultimate fun. The graphics performance is rounded off by an RGB sensor. It dynamically captures the ambient light and adjusts the colour temperature of the FHD+ AMOLED display. Thus, a user will always benefit from the perfect colour scheme no matter when and where. The independent display processing chip with MEMC technology (motion estimation, motion compensation) provides a silky, yet ultra-sharp video experience that can handle up to 500 megapixels per second. The image refresh rate of 24 or 30 frames is increased to 60 frames per second to reduce blur and create a great viewing experience. And thanks to the dual camera with 12 MP and 20 MP incl. 130° wide-angle, the pictures get an impressive effect.

The Axon 9 Pro knows no limits in terms of power. The smartphone is equipped with a powerful Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 845 processor for fast response and a smooth and fluid gaming experience. The storage is not expandable, but there is 128 GB of internal storage, which will satisfy most users. In addition, AI features improve the hardware and battery performance based on user’s behaviour patterns. Even when travelling, the Axon 9 Pro will not let users down: Real-time translations are easy with Smart Voice, and IP68 protection protects the smartphone from rain and other environmental factors. Other premium features worth mentioning include USB Type-C, a rear fingerprint scanner, NFC, Bluetooth 5.0, stereo speakers, surround sound recording, and an RGB sensor for automatically adjusting the screen’s temperature. As for software, the Axon 9 Pro runs on almost stock Android, but it is Android 8.1 Oreo, not Android 9.0 Pie. A stock Android 9 phone would have been a more attractive prospect, but the lack of bloatware is appreciated. As a conclusion, while the ZTE Axon 9 Pro features many premium features and is well-built, it does not have a low price and faces strong competition from OnePlus, Moto and Asus.

In any case, the Axon 9 Pro is a true 2018 flagship, by every standard. Fully decked-out and complete with at least a couple of interesting features and extras. We doubt that it will dramatically shift ZTE's current market standing in any way. But, for a small group of just the right kind of Android power users, it really does seem like the phone to beat.

ZTE is having a hard year. Back in May, it was forced to “cease major operating activities” after the U.S. banned the company from buying U.S. goods (such as Qualcomm processors) due to the company violating sanctions against Iran. This ban was reversed after a month, under the condition that the company would have to pay a $1 billion fine to the U.S., with $400,000 extra left in escrow. This put a significant dent in the company’s operations, but ZTE is hoping for a comeback with a device it thinks will bring back the glory days.

85.1% ZTE Axon 10 Pro Smartphone Review: The flagship killer from China | Notebookcheck
ZTE pitches the Axon 10 Pro against modern flagships like the P30 Pro, especially in regard to design. The Chinese manufacturer has included an in-screen fingerprint scanner and 48 MP dual rear-facing cameras, but it has scrimped on many of the other flashy features adorning high-end handsets. Read on in this detailed review to find out how this 600-Euro (~US$678) supposed flagship killer performs in our tests.
ZTE Axon 10 Pro review: It packs a huge punch
Source: Android Authority English
Aside from some camera issues, the ZTE Axon 10 Pro doesn’t have many glaring weaknesses. You’re getting the same core specifications and features you would find on more expensive flagships, including the Snapdragon 855 and in-display fingerprint sensor. Also, there aren’t many phones that I can think of in this price range that offer both wireless charging and IP certification. It may not do too much to differentiate itself but not everyone cares about unique features or gimmicks. This is a phone that focuses on delivering a fast and reliable experience, and most of the features are practical. The ZTE Axon 10 Pro certainly nails those aspects and is a great bargain that shouldn’t be overlooked.

As you can see, this $550 smartphone can definitely go head to head with phones that cost nearly double. It probably won’t win every battle, but that’s perfectly fine. What’s most surprising about this phone is that it beats OnePlus at its own game, offering flagship-tier hardware and a clean software experience at a very appealing price, making the ZTE Axon 10 Pro the new king of the budget flagship smartphone segment, That’s definitely something I wasn’t expecting when this phone showed up.

We may be in the age of the $999 flagship phone, but a few smartphone makers are still trying to put out premium devices that don't flirt with four-digit price tags. OnePlus and Asus have staked out their share of that market with the OnePlus 7 Pro and ZenFone 6, respectively, and now they're about to be joined by a familiar face that's been hard to find in the U.S. as of late.

ZTE Axon 20 5G Review World's First Under Display Selfie Camera!
Source: TechTablets English

ZTE Axon 20 5G Camera review: Reasonable in good light
Source: DxOMark English
Crucially for those looking for all the bells and whistles of a quad-cam smartphone, the Axon 20 5G is disappointing for bokeh, telephoto zoom, and night photos. While 4K at 60 fps capture with effective stabilization is a nice draw for video enthusiasts, slow autofocus and exposure instabilities make the device difficult to recommend highly for video. More casual shooters, happy with a consistent and stable device that shoots reasonable quality standard or ultra-wide stills in good lighting, will be more at ease with the ZTE Axon 20 5G’s performance.

ZTE Axon 20 5G Selfie review: Under-display front camera
Source: DxOMark English
ZTE’s ambitious under-display design for the front camera of the Axon 20 5G is esthetically impressive, but anyone who cares about selfie performance enough to read a review like this should probably look elsewhere. The performance compromises required to realize this design lead to seriously sub-par imaging when measured by nearly any metric. However, users who don’t care about the front camera at all should still consider this phone, as it appears to be a solid offering in other respects, and the hidden selfie cam is a neat trick for people who might use it only rarely.

65% ZTE Axon 20 5G review: The first under-display camera has too many drawbacks
Source: Neowin English
Before I got to try this phone, and with no prior experience with ZTE, I kind of expected this to be a phone that focuses exclusively on doing one thing and fails at everything else. That isn't really the case, though. I was really happy with the performance, battery life, and the overall quality of the display and sound. ZTE gets a lot of the basics right, and on top of that, it adds the unique proposition of an under-display camera, and all of that costs about as much as you'd expect a phone with these specs to cost. You're not charged a ludicrous amount of money for a poorly implemented innovation.

Early adopters will probably enjoy the novelty of the ZTE Axon 20 5G, but the compromises to the selfie camera, face unlock, and display quality make this hard to recommend to most – though if you really never take selfies, you may find the large screen and solid spec sheet enough to win you over.

ZTE Axon 20 5G: World's first under-screen selfie camera underperforms

ZTE raced to be first to release a mass-produced phone, the Axon 20 5G, with an under-display camera. But being first doesn't equate to stellar camera performance.

Someone has to be the first, and in this case, it's the Axon 20 5G. A phone with a first-gen tech that makes it really cool and also disappointing at the same time. The issue is that the under-display selfie cam is too blurry and not up to the standards in 2020. There's also a visible square where the camera is located, but we can let that one pass as it's barely visible.

80% ZTE Axon 20 5G review: Is the under-screen camera the future?
Source: Pocket Lint English
It might be an outlier, as a little-known brand in the West, but this ZTE is a nod to the future, showing off a convincing under-screen camera, while delivering a long-lasting and ample performance in a fairly affordable package. It's in the details - autobrightness adjustment, frame-like screen bezel, and so-so cameras overall - where it sometimes misses the mark.

Overall, we prefer the Google Pixel 4a 5G because of its better cameras. And spending a little more money will net you the excellent OnePlus Nord, which is a pretty big step-up in UX and photography quality from the Axon 20 5G. Despite ZTE's impressive party trick, there are a few too many caveats to make this Android phone a top pick.

86.4% ZTE Axon 30 Ultra 5G Review - Affordable flagship smartphone with 144 Hz OLED and Trinity Cam | Notebookcheck
The Axon 30 Ultra is an exciting upper-range phone packed with up-to-date hardware. However, our review reveals that an Axon 30 Ultra cannot compete with high-end smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra. You can read where ZTE's Axon 30 Ultra has shortcomings here.
ZTE Axon 30 Ultra Display review: Smooth browsing, hampered by color distractions
Source: DxOMark English
The ZTE Axon 30 Ultra 5G shows no frame drops at 30 fps and just a few at 60 fps; however, it shows a lot of stutters when playing video games and motion blur is noticeable. A big plus is that video play resumes instantly after moving the slider forwards or backwards in the timeline. Another plus is that the device is quite smooth when browsing, when in the gallery app, and when gaming. The ZTE device manages judder well, has smooth and accurate touch, and responds only rarely to ghost touches, but its measured touch-to-display response time at 103 ms, frequent stutters and visible aliasing make for an uncomfortable gaming experience overall.

ZTE Axon 30 Ultra Camera review: Excellent long-range zoom
Source: DxOMark English
The Axon 30 Ultra is ZTE’s 2021 flagship device. It boasts a 6.7-inch, FHD+, an AMOLED flexible curved screen display with 144 Hz refresh rate, and a Snapdragon 888 chipset running Android 11. Providing enough juice to power all that, the Axon 30 Ultra is equipped with 4600 mAh battery that offers super-fast 65W charging. The main camera uses a Sony IMX686 chip linked to a f/1.6-aperture OIS lens, with a Samsung GW3 sensor on the ultra-wide coupled to a 120° field-of-view, ultra-low distortion, f/2.2-aperture lens. The dedicated portrait camera uses the same 64 MP Samsung sensor as the ultra-wide alongside a f/1.9-aperture lens. Finally the tele shooter features an 8 MP sensor with a periscope telephoto lens for 5x optical and up to 60x hybrid zoom. That’s a lot of hardware for a device that falls within our Premium ranking segment of smartphones priced between $600 to $799. Let’s see how it gets on in our DXOMARK Camera tests.

The ZTE Axon 30 Ultra is an excellent reminder of just how starved the US is for innovative yet affordable smartphones. It’s among the most handsome phones we’ve seen this year, and has a solid OLED display and an interesting camera stack. But despite its strengths, we can’t recommend the phone for US buyers. Poor connectivity and political uncertainty make it a risky bet that we wouldn’t take. If you’re looking for a small, relatively inexpensive Android flagship that will just work, no matter which carrier you choose, the Samsung Galaxy S21 is your best option. Both the 9 Pro and the S21 pack the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 mobile platform, plenty of RAM, and incredible OLED displays with adaptive refresh rates. These excellent flagship-class phones have the power and features you need now, and much more reliability down the road.

75% ZTE Axon 30 Ultra review, one month later: A question of commitment
Source: Android Police English
ZTE stumbled a few years back when it was briefly on the US government's shit list, but it was able to get back to normal (unlike Huawei). The Axon 30 Ultra is its first major US release since the unpleasantness, and it's mostly successful. The display, build quality, specs, and camera hardware are all excellent values, and it's very fast with the Snapdragon 888. I like using the ZTE Axon 30 Ultra, but I don't like holding it much. The design is visually attractive, but the sharp, narrow rail along the edge digs into your hand. The curved screen also doesn't do any favors for the hand-feel. This phone would also get a higher score were it not for the lacking 5G support in the US. One 5G band is better than none, but the lack of wireless support makes me feel like this is not a long-haul device. Carriers are going to be investing heavily in 5G going forward, and this phone will barely benefit.

The ZTE Axon 30 Ultra Review - Something Surprisingly Different
Source: AnandTech English
The Axon 30 Ultra comes at a price point of $749 in the US and 749€ in Europe. At this price, the nearest competitors are the Galaxy S21 and the OnePlus 9. The S21 is a very different form-factor phone, so not exactly quite the same comparison device, you’d have to compare it to the S21+, which at currently $899 and 1049€ is far outpricing the Axon 30 Ultra. While my experience on myOS on the Axon 30 Ultra has been fine and the phone received a couple of software updates since I got it, generally it would be wise to go into considering the phone with low expectations for much future significant udpates. In general, the Axon 30 Ultra was overly positive for me, and was a breath of fresh air in the flagship landscape. While the phone has weaknesses, it’s priced quite fairly, so it makes me look forward to ZTE’s next iteration.

The ZTE Axon 30 Ultra 5G is a high-specced phone with a great display, a good array of cameras, fantastic zoom photography capability, and a blindingly fast battery charging rate. The software still needs some refining, but the phone is a great choice for those seeking a flagship device who may not want to pay the highest price for a flagship.

There is an awful lot to like about the ZTE Axon 30 Ultra, particularly the build quality and clean software. The phone is a fun one to play with as its large display is almost mesmerizing, especially when playing around with the camera. Games and videos look silky smooth with the (up to) 144Hz refresh rate and the 20:9 aspect ratio feels very comfortable. It will be at least two years before our mobile needs even come close to requiring the hardware of this device.

80% ZTE Axon 30 Ultra review: Some much needed competition for OnePlus
Source: Android Police English
ZTE stumbled a few years back when it was briefly on the US government's shit list, but it was able to get back to normal (unlike Huawei). The Axon 30 Ultra is its first major US release since the unpleasantness, and it's mostly successful. The display, build quality, specs, and camera hardware are all excellent values, and it's very fast with the Snapdragon 888. I like using the ZTE Axon 30 Ultra, but I don't like holding it much. The design is visually attractive, but the sharp, narrow rail along the edge digs into your hand. The curved screen also doesn't do any favors for the hand-feel. This phone would also get a higher score were it not for the lacking 5G support in the US. One 5G band is better than none, but the lack of wireless support makes me feel like this is not a long-haul device. Carriers are going to be investing heavily in 5G going forward, and this phone will barely benefit.

70% Zte Axon 30 Ultra Review: The Right Stuff For The Right Price
Source: The Verge English
The ZTE Axon 30 Ultra is exactly what it appears to be: a lower cost alternative to the big Android flagships with top-tier performance and a great screen. I wouldn’t recommend it to just anyone, and you need to be comfortable either living with a couple of quirks or navigating a way around them. You don’t quite get the same level of polish or reassurance that you would from a Samsung, OnePlus, or Google device, but in return you get excellent performance for the money.

Source: Tom's Guide English
That said, the ZTE Axon 30 Ultra won’t top any best lists, as it’s dragged down by its less refined features. Had the phone offered a little more battery capacity, a QHD resolution display or some consistent photography software, it would easily be equivalent to the OnePlus 9 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro or Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra. Fortunately, the ZTE Axon 30 Ultra doesn’t have to be. Its current price is low enough that it's easy to overlook those shortcomings. ZTE’s made a real flagship-killing phone with the Axon 30 Ultra, and it should be your top choice if you want the ultimate hardware for the cheapest price you can get.

There might be no under-display selfie camera, but for the asking price you'll soon forget about that. This ZTE is powerful and has a one super smooth 144Hz screen. However, some software notification issues irritate, and while the cameras have potential there's not great synergy between all the optics on the rear.

The Axon does come short in a few other areas - not by much, but the room for improvement is there. The display has a ton of potential but doesn't quite live up to it, dust and water protection is missing, there's no wireless charging. For all its camera chops, the Axon is also missing AF on the ultrawide. All things considered, though, we can give the ZTE Axon 30 Ultra 5G a recommendation. It'll be a particularly good fit for those looking to take nice pictures without springing the cash for the true no-holds-barred flagships that can run you twice the price. Sure, there will be compromises, but there won't be any dealbreakers.

80% ZTE Axon 30 Ultra review: A perfectly fine flagship that is easy to overlook

The ZTE Axon 30 Ultra is an odd case of a phone that's almost unique based on how un-unique it seemingly is. The design is pretty boring and unexceptional even if there's nothing wrong with it, and there's no feature that's going to blow your mind in any way, but there's also nothing too terribly wrong with it.

ZTE’s step back into the flagship market is definitely noted. The Axon 30 Ultra brings premium design and performance at a more than reasonable price of $749, positioning itself somewhere between the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE and the Galaxy S21 pricewise. The ZTE Axon 30 Ultra is very powerful, with a Snapdragon 888 processor coupled with 8GB or 12GB of RAM. The phone is indeed snappy, and the 144Hz FHD+ AMOLED display is its strongest weapon.

The ZTE Axon 30 Ultra is the 2021 flagship offering from the company. With a starting price of $749, the Axon 30 Ultra positions itself somewhere between the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE and the Galaxy S21 when it comes to price. However, the specs sheet mentions perks and features you’d expect out of much more expensive phones: 65W fast charging, a periscope zoom camera, a Snapdragon 888 chip with 5G, and a 144Hz OLED display, for example.

ZTE Axon 30 Ultra Hands-on: A US-bound Android flagship that competes with Samsung’s Galaxy S21

There are a lot of good Android flagships from Chinese tech brands such as the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, OPPO Find X3 Pro, and the Vivo X60 Pro Plus. But the ZTE Axon 30 Ultra has something on all of those phones — it will be sold in the US. While it’s not going to take a dent out of Apple or Samsung’s pie, with LG shutting down its mobile business, there’s room in the US phone scene for another brand to make an impression.

86.6% ZTE Axon 30 5G smartphone review: Significantly improved under-display camera | Notebookcheck
Not only has the under-display camera of the Axon 30 5G been greatly improved, but ZTE has also upgraded the device in all areas: A faster SoC as well as USB speeds, more RAM, and a 120 Hz AMOLED display. Read our review to find out whether the Axon 30 is a steal despite its low price tag.
75% ZTE Axon 30 5G Review: Filled with hopes and compromises
Source: Phandroid English
I absolutely love that ZTE is working out the kinks for its under-display selfie camera. It’s incredibly joyful to look at the screen and not have your eyes immediately roam to a hole-punch cutout of any kind. And the quality itself is still much better than what Samsung packed into the Galaxy Z Fold 3. ZTE’s definitely leading the pack here, and we’re excited to see it adopted in future devices. But there’s always an elephant in the room, and the ZTE Axon 30’s stiffest competition comes straight from Google. The Pixel 6 is priced at $100 more (without any deals), but brings Android 12 out of the box, an IP68 rating, wireless charging, and a striking design. Sure, you’ll have to “deal” with a hole-punch cutout, but it’s really not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things. ZTE is definitely on the right track as the Axon 30 is still a competitive phone with a competitive price. Performance is just as good as you would hope, and even the camera system will get you by in most situations. It’s just the rest of the package that leaves us wanting more.

75% ZTE Axon 30 5G review: Not enough bang for your buck
Source: Android Police English
Innovative features don’t make or break a smartphone, but they certainly make the ZTE Axon 30 a more attractive option. With an invisible under-display camera and in-display fingerprint sensor, this almost-flagship device from ZTE does have a wow factor, which is hard to come by nowadays. Unfortunately, some of the device’s more glaring faults are hard to ignore, even at the reasonable mid-tier $500 starting price, which is a good bit cheaper than the Axon 30 Ultra at $750. There are no abject deal breakers on this phone, but you won’t see it at the top of a “Best Smartphone” this year. Suffice it to say, it provides a lot of cool features, but in the end the gimmicks don’t make up for the substantive shortcomings.

75% ZTE Axon 30 5G review: A smartphone for notch haters
Source: Android Police English
There’s certainly a market for the ZTE Axon 30. The massive edge-to-edge display and powerful processor make watching videos, playing games, and recording in 4K that much easier, and obviously everyone loves a big battery. Plus, with cool features like under-display cameras and in-display fingerprint sensors, it looks like a very modern phone. Still, it’s hard to ignore the better, more affordable options on the market, particularly when you consider the lackluster camera. The performance lags compared to competitors like Google and Samsung, even with the powerful processor, and the cheap body and flimsy buttons do not bode well for an enjoyable smartphone experience. You also can't ignore the Google Pixel 6, which is only $100 more. If you can afford the premium, the Pixel is a much better phone... unless you just really want an invisible under-display camera.

Wrapping up this review, the ZTE Axon 30 has a bunch of talking points—with the star of the show being the no-notch display. It effortlessly handles everyday tasks while its battery life is no slouch either. Despite this, I would hesitate to recommend it to someone. Especially due to its cameras. The ones on the back require further optimization whereas the front camera is abysmal when compared to regular selfie cameras. But if you’re someone who enjoys experimenting with cutting-edge technology, the Axon 30 could be worth a shot.

The ZTE Axon 30 5G is a welcome addition to the competitive mid-range smartphone market. While it’s pretty ordinary in many respects, its 6.92-inch 120Hz OLED display really stands out from the crowd. We can’t say we understand ZTE’s decision to focus on hiding the selfie camera so effectively behind that display, and we would have liked to have seen such a component married with more convincing specs elsewhere. But there’s no denying how tight the implementation of this technology is, even if it takes its toll on selfie quality. There are better-rounded mid-range phones on the market, such as the OnePlus Nord 2 and the Xiaomi Mi 11. But the ZTE Axon 30 5G’s party trick undoubtedly earns it a place at the table as an affordable media playback specialist.

The Axon 30 is ZTE’s next flagship phone that packs a ton of impressive specs alongside its standout feature: a truly edge-to-edge screen. Unlike nearly every other phone on the market, the Axon 30’s display doesn’t have a notch or cutout for the front-facing camera. To achieve this, ZTE has incorporated an under-display camera, one of the few in mainstream phones, which is visible when you’re taking front-facing photos but - disappears completely when not in use. Well, almost completely, for if you look closely there’s a small off-color square that the camera hides behind. The Axon 30’s cameras are also impressive for its price, capable of capturing great daylight photos with its range of ultra-wide and macro capabilities. It doesn’t have a telephoto lens, and its night mode requires some light to function – which pales compared to the flagship capability of phones like the iPhone 13 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy S21. Overall, the ZTE Axon 30 is a great mid-range phone that offers excellent value compared to more expensive handsets – and has a feature that won’t come to other flagship phones until 2022 or later.

ZTE Axon 30 5G review: An almost great cheap 5G experience
Source: Talk Android English
ZTE has crafted an excellent phone that delivers incredible performance and fast 5G speeds on a nice budget. $499 is easy to swallow for a higher end phone, and it’s certainly punching above its weight as far as performance goes. You’re getting a large battery, WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1, Android 11 out of the box; they’re crossed off a lot of the small things you’d expect from a nice phones these days. But it’s still not perfect. That camera, while good, leaves something to be desired, and the phone really does feel cheap. A nice solid case might round that out, but the cheaper materials and almost cheap-feeling weight don’t feel like a $500 phone, even if everything else about the phone is great. This phone’s not going to make sense for everybody, but it’s definitely worth checking out for most people.

The Axon 30 is arriving after the Axon 30 Ultra, and while it's not as powerful as its predecessor, it packs a nearly perfectly hidden under-display camera. Unfortunately, the camera quality isn't great, front or back, but this is a decently powerful device with a great screen, for around $500, so there are going to be compromises. Still, The ZTE Axon 30 is well built, runs a clean version of Android, and is a showcase for tech we can expect to become more common soon.

ZTE Axon 30 review: An 'invisible' selfie camera comes at a cost
Source: Engadget English
With the Axon 30, ZTE has proved it can successfully camouflage its under-display camera. But that doesn’t mean it’s up to the task. Image quality from the secretive selfie lens really isn’t good enough, even if the implementation is impressive. Aside from that, the Axon 30 has a gorgeous, fluid screen and a decent rear camera setup. The lack of wider 5G support in the US is frustrating in a 2021 phone, but there is still a lot here for $500. The bigger challenge is that competition is tough in the middleweight phone arena. Google’s latest Pixel, the 5a, rings in at $450, and offers better-performing cameras, front and back. If you’re struggling to pick between the two, the decision loosely boils down to a bigger screen or better selfies.

As we said, the Axon 30 5G has a few intriguing features on its specs sheet even if you look past the under-display selfie camera. It's got a high-performance Snapdragon 870 SoC, as well as a very good 120Hz OLED panel. Looking ahead, the Axon 30 5G may go down the price ladder, and then you can probably consider buying one. But for now, we suggest you skip it unless you are here solely for the novelty of the under-display camera.

While the under-display camera here is without rival - it's easily the best implementation of the technology to date, meaning the big screen can dominate - much of the Axon 30 5G's other features don't live up to quite such lofty heights. So-so cameras, some software hiccups, and limited battery ultimately distract from the mighty impressive semi-invisible front camera. Still, at this price point that's perfectly acceptable.

Source: Phone Arena English
At its $499 price point for the 8GB/128GB base model, and $599 for the 12GB/256GB version, the Axon 30 is not exactly swimming with sharks when it comes to the competition. The main ones are the OnePlus 9, which is also suited for T-Mobile, but starts at $729 with faster processor and longer battery life. The other, more formidable direct competitor to the Axon 30 are the Motorola Edge 2021 specs, with the phone now dropped to $499, too, with bigger battery and camera sensor, but weaker processor/memory combo. Both of those, however, don't have the Axon 30's wow factor with its "all-screen" display design and cool hidden selfie camera, so if you are looking for a sub-$500 phone with most modern bells and whistles, the new ZTE budget champ deserves a strong consideration.

ZTE Axon 30 Hands-on: An under-display camera that stays out of sight, out of mind
Source: XDA Developers English
The Axon 30’s selfie camera is very out of sight, out of mind, but it’s still nowhere near the capabilities of regular front-facing cameras. It does the job for video calls and quick pictures, but I’d never rely on it for taking snapshots of anything “important”. It’s a means to an end in order to have a completely bezelless, no-hole-punch experience, and it achieves that quite well as a result. If you value a selfie camera, then I can’t stress enough how much this phone is not for you. However, if you don’t care about the selfie camera, then there’s no reason to not get the Axon 30. The area over the camera is no longer an eyesore and blends into the rest of the display, and it’s good enough for the occasional video call if required. The primary camera is excellent, the performance thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 is also stellar, and a starting price of €499 places this device in a pretty competitive space.

The $499 Axon 30 runs Android 11 on the Snapdragon 870 with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage plus a microSD card slot (a 12GB + 256GB version is also available). It has 4 rear cameras and the new 16MP under-display selfie camera puts the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3’s to shame. It comes with a 65 watt super-fast charger and a clear case. The unlocked phone is available direct from ZTE’s website in the US.

ZTE Axon 30 Hands-on: An under-display camera that stays out of sight, out of mind
Source: XDA Developers English
The Axon 30’s selfie camera is very out of sight, out of mind, but it’s still nowhere near the capabilities of regular front-facing cameras. It does the job for video calls and quick pictures, but I’d never rely on it for taking snapshots of anything “important”. It’s a means to an end in order to have a completely bezelless, no-hole-punch experience, and it achieves that quite well as a result. If you value a selfie camera, then I can’t stress enough how much this phone is not for you. However, if you don’t care about the selfie camera, then there’s no reason to not get the Axon 30. The area over the camera is no longer an eyesore and blends into the rest of the display, and it’s good enough for the occasional video call if required. The primary camera is excellent, the performance thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 is also stellar, and a starting price of €499 places this device in a pretty competitive space.

The ZTE Axon 30 5G is uniquely exciting because of its futuristic under-display camera and the phone’s unexpectedly good specs, combined with a fairly low price. Still, it's tricky to actually recommend the phone as a practical purchase. You may want to go for the Axon 30 5G because of the large display and great performance, which makes it an excellent option for games. The phone’s charging and battery life do well also, but are not the best you can get for the money. The photography is about passable, but it isn't any better than its rivals, particularly when it comes to selfie quality. The Axon 30 is a much better phone than the Axon 20 was, but unfortunately the competition has moved forward, too, as you can see with comparable phones from OnePlus and Samsung. At least the Axon 30 can still lay claim to having the best under-display camera on the market, especially when it costs about a third of the price of the other phone with the same feature.

78% ZTE Axon 30 review: Unpolished power and innovation
Source: Android Authority English
That said, the ZTE Axon 30 still provides a lot of power for your dollar. In fact, its performance prowess can almost hang with the latest top-tier flagship phones, and its super-fast charging helps counterbalance the middling battery life. Lastly, its under-display camera technology is currently best in class and provides an experience unlike any other. So at $500, it’s hard to argue with ZTE’s offering here, but ultimately it’s going to come down to what you value most. If you’re looking for a big-screen powerful device, and care little for premium build quality the ZTE Axon 30 is a respectable option. Still, it’s sad to see ZTE miss the mark on some staple features and software support, which means the other impressive feats come at a significant trade-off, and for most, the Pixel 5a will be the better buy.

The ZTE Axon 30 5G is a competitively priced mid-range smartphone with premium features, including a gorgeous 6.92in AMOLED display and second-gen under-display camera tech that blows the UDC competition out of the water - even if it's still not quite enough to take on traditional selfie cameras just yet.

100% ZTE Axon 30 5G Review: Best Under Display Selfie Camera in 2021
Source: Android Headlines English
I am impressed with all the improvements ZTE has made with the Axon 30 5G. There are some significant improvements with the second-generation under-display selfie camera. But along with that, they have improved pretty much every single gripe or annoyance from the Axon 20 5G. I like the new hardware design language and despite being a large device how lightweight it feels in the hand. The display is better, brighter, with an improved touch sampling rate and a smaller chin. There is a better processor and storage is now UFS3.1. Battery life is still good and now there is 65W fast charge support. Software is better and there is 5G connectivity out of the box. In summary, all the little tweaks and changes result in a markedly improved user experience. If you are not a big selfie camera person and want an uninterrupted display for under $500 then the Axon 30 5G should be near the top of your shopping list.

The Axon 30 with Under Display Camera: Hands-on Mini-Review
Source: AnandTech English
One could live with the aforementioned aspects; however, the large deal-breaker is the unsatisfactory power efficiency of the panel. At 423nits brightness, the phone uses 2.87W of power, which is significantly worse than Samsung Display OLED panels (S20U – 2.4W, S21U, 1.8W) Much like the many phones that got ruined by inefficient displays in the past, it also looks like the Axon 30 is also suffering from a larger battery life hit due to the display. Given the choice of a UDC with an inefficient screen, or a hole-punch with an efficient screen, I’d always choose the latter. Overall, I think the Axon 30 is an interesting phone, but I can’t help feel it’s still more of an immature technology showcase rather than a refined product. I think the Ultra sibling is still a much better phone, but at least ZTE is pricing the Axon 30 at a quite reasonable level.

80% ZTE Axon 30 5G review: A beautiful uninterrupted glass display held back by minor flaws
Source: Android Central English
In the end, the ZTE Axon 30 5G is a tough one to figure. It sports a remarkably stunning display, and I admire the efforts to create a new OS. It shows initiative to better the product. Yet, I find myself nitpicking on the horrid selfie camera and the lack of wireless charging or an IP rating. For a $500 phone using a brand new technology, I might be asking too much. But if the Google Pixel 5a can offer water resistance on a phone that's $50 cheaper, I expect the Axon 30 5G to have at least an IP rating. That being said, if you are down for blurry selfies and don't care about the small details, you will be satisfied with this phone. The sheer computing power and that achingly pretty (oh-so-pretty) display will win your heart any day of the year. Just know what you signed up for when buying yourself one.

ZTE hedged all its bets on a gorgeous screen, decent performance and the innovation of an under-display camera, with the trade-offs being less-than-flagship internals, subpar camera quality and the lack of a water/dust resistance rating. The naff camera is a head scratcher, given the importance of having a good front-facing snapper. The picture quality, along with the distracting camera door, proves this technology is not ready for primetime. But all-in-all, the Axon 30 5G is a decent flagship-killing package for the price. If you can workaround its pitfalls, this is a glimpse at one of the next big steps forward in smartphone design.

ZTE Axon 30 Review, Pros and Cons
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
As mentioned above, the ZTE Axon 30 5G smartphone is worth your money. But considering this phone perfect might not be good. It has the best gaming performance, aesthetic appearance, vibrant color screen, above-average camera technology, and most importantly, decent battery life. The under-display phone equips all the aspects users need for everyday use. Plus, it’s one of the best recommendations for performance enthusiasts looking for a powerful phone. However, at the same time, few negligible flaws appear on the Axon 30 phone, but when comparing with the plus point, it all makes sense in the end. If you’re looking for an alternative option, you can definitely check out the Mi Mix 4 smartphone.

ZTE has beaten most smartphone makers with the release of the ZTE Axon 30 – one of the first to ‘not show off’ its invisible, under-display, selfie camera for full screen, uninterrupted visuals. It uses a 16MP sensor under a seven-layer transparency and a special UDC Pro Display chip to manage the screen’s transparency and overall screen performance. To quote ZTE

ZTE Axon 30 5G not only satisfies the small regret of the previous generation of under-screen proactive effects, but its comprehensive configuration also understands the needs of users quite well. 120Hz high color gamut screen, Snapdragon 870 processor, Sony IMX 682 main camera, full-featured NFC, 55W fast charging, etc., are all flagship standard equipment without compromise. While exploring the proactive under-screen, ZTE Axon 30 5G has not forgotten the essence of mobile phones.

ZTE Axon 40 Ultra

The latest smartphone to join the market is none other than the ZTE Axon 40 Ultra. In terms of its design, the sleek, matte glass back feels smooth to the touch, and the curved screen makes for a very comfortable experience in hand despite its large size. Furthermore, it is worth noting that the wrap-around display does not create a razor’s edge situation on the side of the device, like the Axon 30 Ultra. Apart from that, the glass back does feel a lot like Samsung’s phones as it is durable and does not pick up scratches. However, the slim, plastic buttons do make it feel cheaper than it is, but on the wrap-around display and the glass matte finish, they feel a bit more natural than on the Axon 30 5G's plastic build. On the other hand, the device also offers the option between standard screens unlock, or biometric access through facial recognition or the under-display fingerprint scanner to unlock the phone. While the facial recognition worked well enough, there was the occasional delay, which was most probably due to a problem with the under-display camera. In contrast, the optical under-display fingerprint scanner was a dream, working quickly and effectively every time with all five fingers which it allows the users to store.
As far as its display is concerned, the ZTE Axon 40 Ultra has been equipped with an AMOLED display. Overall, the size is obviously great for watching any kind of content, again matching the Samsung S22 Ultra at 6.8 inches. However, it is worth mentioning that this device offers a much lower resolution at 1116 x 2480. In addition, the tiny bezels at the top and bottom of the device are barely perceptible, giving the Axon an impressive 93% screen-to-body ratio (a bit higher than the S22 Ultra). Even better, the phone also comes with a high 144Hz refresh rate which comes in handy particularly when it came to scrolling through social media and playing high frame rate games. Apart from that, the ZTE Axon 40 Ultra also boasts an impressive brightness range, which improves the overall experience in bright spots and dark ones as with a peak brightness of 1500 nits, the device was easily viewable in bright sunlight, even when watching dark videos. As for its performance, this smartphone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, which has become one of the standard options for high-end smartphones in 2022. It is worth mentioning that it handled everything with aplomb, hitting no lags or glitches while streaming or gaming, even on the infamously dodgy HBO Max platform. The device also rocks a 5,000 mAh battery. In terms of its camera, this model carries three 64MP rear-facing cameras. Overall, the cameras can impress more than one can expect since it is without the AI power behind the array. It is definitely a great phone to be explored, depending on the need and preference of the user.

87.5% Review of ZTE Axon 40 Ultra smartphone - invisible selfie camera, three 64MP cameras and flagship performance | Notebookcheck
The Axon 40 Ultra is different. The selfie camera on ZTE's new flagship is hidden underneath the display. Furthermore, there are as many as three 64MP cameras on the phone's glass back cover, including a telephoto lens with 3.5x optical zoom. The other high-end components such as the 120 Hz AMOLED display and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 seem almost pedestrian in comparison.
100% ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Review: Great Smartphone For Selfie Haters
Source: Android Headlines English
The ZTE Axon 40 Ultra gets a lot of things right. Stellar hardware design, uninterrupted and curved 6.8-inch AMOLED display, a large 5,000 mAh battery, loud stereo speakers, and great rear cameras. Not to mention USA availability and out-of-the-box 5G support. In addition, it has a clean software experience with zero bloatware and 65W fast charging support. With the Ultra moniker in the branding and improved hardware along with the curved uninterrupted display, the price is $799 for the base version. So if you want a unique-looking device and are not into selfies then the ZTE Axon 40 Ultra makes sense. But if selfies are important to you then for about the same price you can get the Samsung Galaxy S22 or for a bit more get the Google Pixel 6 Pro with a small cutout and a large curved 4K AMOLED display. And outside the USA you can look at plenty of devices from Xiaomi and Oppo/Vivo to compare against before settling on a smartphone of your choice.

80% ZTE Axon 40 Ultra review: all that glitters is not gold
Source: Android Central English
It's sleek, it's upscale, it's fast. The ZTE Axon 40 Ultra packs some powerful hardware, kept in check by a dedicated cooling system. You'll enjoy that edge-to-edge 120Hz AMOLED panel with an invisible front camera under the screen. Weirdly, it also skips some of the most popular features that define a flagship: waterproofing, wireless charging, and consistently great cameras.

Priced at $799, the ZTE Axon 40 Ultra has quite a bit of competition, especially from more mainstream brands such as Samsung. But overall, it is a solid performer with clean-looking software and near-stock Android experience. The curved display is excellent if you watch a lot of videos and play a lot of games, and we can appreciate the future forward design of an in-display camera. The only downside are its cameras that would have otherwise made this phone truly amazing.

The ZTE Axon 40 Ultra smartphone is a decent flagship smartphone that offers proper performance, decent battery life, and an industry-leading display. Besides this, you will attain an impeccable gaming experience with a smooth user interface. So, overall, it’s worth your money and time. But still, there’s no denying that the market offers several alternative options too. If you are looking for all-rounder specs with faster android updates, we will recommend you to go with the Pixel 6 Pro for impressive camera quality, while the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus comes out to be a great choice with 4 years of Android and security updates.

80% ZTE Axon 40 Ultra review: Can this flagship compete with Android’s best phones?
Source: Tom's Guide English
If it didn't have the under-display camera, the Axon 40 Ultra would be easy to confidently back as a flagship alternative for users who didn't want just another Samsung Galaxy or Google Pixel. But since it does have that unusual selfie shooter, it makes judging the phone's overall quality and ideal buyer tricky. The low price of the ZTE Axon 40 Ultra makes it easy to choose if your budget can't stretch to a Galaxy S22 Ultra, thanks to the Axon’s 64MP cameras and 65W charging. But the front camera can be very important to users for selfies or video calls, so the quality of the under-display camera could be a deal breaker, even at this price. I'd recommend the Axon 40 Ultra to anyone who wants the maximum amount of phone for less than $800 and feels like the similarly priced iPhone 13 or Galaxy S22 don’t offer quite enough. If you're prepared to spend the money needed to get a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra or iPhone 13 Pro Max, you're probably going to get a better-rounded experience with those phones. If you're determined to stick to a £700 - £800 budget though, the most interesting comparison for the Axon 40 Ultra is....

70% ZTE Axon 40 Ultra review: Hiding in plain sight
Source: Android Authority English
The Axon 40 Ultra gets most of the basics right, delivering a high-powered, long-lasting smartphone that tops up in under an hour. The addition of versatile rear cameras and that full-screen experience enabled by a stealthy under-display selfie camera means you’ve got an intriguing yet capable proposition at a very reasonable asking price. However, it’s clear that there are a few gaps in the Axon 40 Ultra’s armor, starting with those disappointing selfies. Even at a more affordable flagship price, just shy of $800 is a tough ask for a phone that lacks an IP rating, wireless charging, and a long-term update pledge. There are a few alternatives on the market that come in at the same price or undercut the ZTE device while offering these extras.

Yes, the selfie camera is pants, but I’m a sucker for value for money. That is what the ZTE Axon 40 Ultra offers in a strong Android flagship packed with powerful specs, good battery life and decent rear cameras. Hiding the front-facing snapper under the screen has become an artform for ZTE now,; it is one of the best at making it an invisible, un-disturbed rectangle of AMOLED goodness. All-in-all, if you can work around its pitfalls, this is a decent phone that is pitted against stiff competition.

The ZTE Axon 40 Ultra is a good phone, but it just falls short of being a great one. The screen is excellent, the battery life very good, and performance levels are outstanding, too. However, the rear camera is decent without being exceptional, and the under-screen selfie camera is genuinely terrible, despite (or probably because of) its innovative design. If mobile photography is one of your priorities, then you’d be better off checking out a device such as the Pixel 6.

ZTE’s Axon 40 Ultra pushes the camera game forward… kind of
Source: Mobile Syrup English
Every year it feels increasingly strange that ZTE continues to try to compete at the near flagship level. Its OS is getting better, but it’s still incomplete and filled with random software instead of a smooth experience. Considering the battery issues I faced last year, I wasn’t expecting great hardware this year, but the Axon 40 Ultra feels great in my hand. The screen could be better, but overall it’s passable. The camera is pretty fun, and I love that 35mm focal length for photography. I’d like to see more companies adopt something similar in the future. The under-display camera, on the other hand, is terrible and ZTE should probably give that up. You can pre-order the phone from ZTE for $799 USD (roughly $1,000 CAD).

If you’re not a selfie fan and you love the idea of an interrupted display with a few extra pixels of usable space, then sure. It’s not a perfect phone, but you can expect strong specs and a solid rear camera setup to back up that unique viewing experience. In case I didn’t make it clear earlier though, anyone who expects to get much use of out of the front camera should really look elsewhere. This tech is impressive, and this is the best it’s been yet, but there’s still work to be done. In practice, this isn’t the phone for you if you ever choose to use your selfie shooter.

Another year, another Axon Ultra is challenging the established ways of doing smartphone cameras. The signs were there last year, but we may have overlooked them - now, ZTE has abandoned caution and has gone for a 35mm primary camera. And we can't say we're not fans. 35mm smartphone cameras from the early days were limited, but there were no ultrawides back then - today, there's always the zoom-out button for when stepping back isn't possible. And the Axon's main camera, thanks to its unusual specs, opens up possibilities you don't get anywhere else or not to that extent - mostly in real, actual lens blur, but also perspective. The Axon's other two cameras are properly good too, especially during the day, but not too shabby in the dark either. It's only in certain aspects of video recording that we saw missteps, but judging by the rate of updates we've been getting, they should be addressed sooner rather than later. There'll be no fix for the under-display selfie camera whose biggest virtue is its invisibility - certainly not its image quality.

ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Review: Fantastic at everything, except selfies
Source: XDA Developers English
The ZTE Axon 40 Ultra is a phone with a lot of compromises, but it’s aimed at a very specific type of user. If you don’t care about the selfie camera, it’s probably already high up on your list thanks to that stellar display. Coming in at €829 though, it’s a pretty tall ask when there are smartphones with a lot of the same features and better cameras for a lot cheaper. For example, in Europe, you can save €80 and get the Realme GT 2 Pro, a phone that honestly offers a lot more. You get a longer support window, much better cameras, the same charging speed, better software, and a much nicer QHD+ LTPO display. The ZTE Axon 40 Ultra’s best selling point is the display, but even that a lot of people likely won’t care about and falters behind the display tech of a cheaper phone. A friend of mine saw the ZTE Axon 40 Ultra and thought it was cool, but pointed out that the front-facing camera on their phone doesn’t bother them because it’s in the center of the status bar anyway. To be honest, I completely see where they’re coming from.

ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Gives Other Ultra Phones a Run for Their Money [Review]
Source: G Style Magazine English
ZTE might not be a brand you’re familiar with here in the U.S., but they’re pretty well known globally. It’s a shame that we actually don’t have more devices here to choose from other than your usually Apple or Samsung phones, which pretty much dominate here. The ZTE Axon 40 Ultra really is a great device that has a lot going for it in terms of specs and usability. The cameras for the most part are fantastic and the display is gorgeous even though it’s only FHD+. The under-display front camera is very well hidden and really does make the display look that much better. The only thing I’d really ding the phone is the lack of waterproofing or dust proofing certifications and that the glass isn’t Gorilla Glass or equivalent. Also so lackluster selfie cam quality. However, I’m able to turn a blind eye to some of its shortcomings mainly because the ZTE Axon 40 Ultra will retail at an astonishing $799 globally, in this configuration, when it is released on June 21, 2022. That undercuts many of today’s flagships. Not only that. It still comes with a charger!

The OnePlus 10 Pro ($899) might be another device you should consider in lieu of the Axon 40 Ultra. It doesn’t have an under-display selfie camera and costs $100 more, but you’re getting perks like wireless charging, a good primary camera, a superior screen, and three years of OS updates. It also shares a few of the Axon 40 Ultra’s strengths such as battery life, fast charging, and the same powerful processor, though it’s a little rough around the edges due to the similarly lacking IP rating (unless you buy from T-Mobile), mediocre supporting cameras, and some software inconsistencies. You should also keep the iPhone 13 ($799) in mind if you’re open to joining the Apple ecosystem. It lacks a high refresh rate screen, has a massive notch, lacks a telephoto camera, and misses out on fast charging (and the charger). However, Apple’s phone also brings a powerful processor, IP68 rating, wireless charging, and access to an exclusive ecosystem.

ZTE Axon 40 Ultra review: The best phone design of 2022
Source: Talk Android English
I’m impressed enough with the design of the Axon 40 Ultra that I’d recommend the phone on that alone. The material, shape, and notch-less screen are big enough selling points on their own that make the phone very pleasant to use. The Snapdragon muscle and great battery life are the cherry on top. It’s not a perfect phone, though, with a camera that lags behind the competition and an update policy that doesn’t have the track record of what you’ll get from a Samsung phone. But even with those complaints, it’s one of the most appealing phones I’ve reviewed in a while, and anyone that’s looking for a well designed phone could do much worse than what ZTE’s got on offer. If you’re interested in jumping on the Axon 40 Ultra early, ZTE is offering a promotion where you can put down a $1.99 pre-order to knock $50 off the phone’s $799 list price. That entry model is the 128/8GB variant, but ZTE is offering a some steps up if you need more.
