19 February 2021
We could very well see the successor of last year's ZTE Axon 20 5G appear at next week's tech summit.

C'mon, massive? "Too big for your taste", yeah, sure, but they aren't "massive", even the Galaxy S8/S9 bezels are considered a good size by many people.

The issue is always the same though, the lack of diversity, and if it wasn't for the same idiots who badmouth the pop up camera for no reasons, there would be probably enough of those for you and I to get the phone we want.
The 60Hz of the Poco F2 Pro isn't an issue for me, what I would have want with it was a Telephoto, and ideally the Tele-Macro being pushed up to 8Mp minimum, and the best realistic change would be an ultrasonic underdisplay FPS, like the Qualcomm 3D Sonic Max, but the latter will become highly trending once Apple will put it on their next phone anyway.

    Zenfone 7 Pro - mediocre cameras that really only compete with 2 year old phones. (I know I mentioned not minding the camera before, but I meant the selfie camera, here the selfie camera IS the main camera)

    Xperia - No I will never buy a Sony phone until they fix the massive amount of problems with their phones.

    Gaming phones - Massive bezels

    OnePlus practically made a perfect 7 Pro (with the exception of the jack) however that's a couple years old now and thus no longer a proper option. The K30 Ultra is tempting however I'm not too certain about the cameras or performance.

                Anonymous, 19 Feb 2021I never want to see the camera.Seeing the camera when it is active is the only clue you can have that it is used by something, and that is only if the pixels' deactivation isn't inhibit, because unlike what people think, the camera can still see with the pixels being lit, the quality is worse than a potato, but for privacy intrusion it is more than enough.
                And since unlike any other solutions, you can't physically hide the camera (even on punch holes you can), making the camera not visible when it is enabled would be a really dangerous loss for privacy.

                    The fact the 2nd gen underdisplay unit will be put on a flagship suggests ZTE is probably comfortable with the implementation this time. They put the 1st gen UD camera in a mid ranger likely to test the market.

                      Who cares about the quality, just hoping the pixels around the camera to blend perfectly.

                        Now I hope Oppo can follow suit & bring back that 3-D face scanning of the Find X but this time UD.
                        Great job ZTE!!👏🏻 Now we know part of the reason y u were kicked out of NA.

                                      It's going to be lit when when we won't be able to notice the different pixels up there. Hopefully their second gen will be able to achieve this.
