          I love how every android company copies apples layouts on how they present all the specs .

            I don't really understand why there is a 64MP 35mm camera sensor. If it's a 2.5x zoom (65mm) or 3x zoom (78mm) non-periscope telephoto sensor, that would make perfect sense. But at 35mm? I'm not sure what is that for.

              Clearly not "Ultra" in terms of specs but the price-to-specs ratio is really amazing (Even Samsung doesn't have a 16GB + 1TB option). Hopefully it will be priced competitively outside China as well.

The main sensor is weaker than the best sensors and ZTE doesn't have as much experience in the software processing as the major brands. However, with a snapdragon 888 they should still be good, just not at the top level

                  Great software could produce great results from mediocre hardware but with the best hardware that has poor / mediocre software will resort from that product to turn to a lemon (without producing lemonade).

Periscope lens, decent 64mp ultrawide, dedicated portrait lens, Laser focus sensor, dual speakers, top processor, wifi 6e, nfc supports access cards as well as transport cards. ZTE also has good switching tech between wifi and 4g/5g. Overall it's not as good as a mi11 ultra of course but it's a lot cheaper and the design is arguably better (much lighter).

                          Disappointing.. thought it will be neck to neck with mi 11 ultra..

                            So, this is the official camera specs of this phone(it's given on the website). Also it has stereo speakers as some people said here.
                            Rear:
                            64MP Wide Angle Lens (Sony IMX686/OIS/F1.6)
                            64MP Ultra Wide-Angle Lens (Samsung GW3/120° Wide/ Ultra-Low Distortion/F2.2)
                            64MP Portrait Lens (Samsung GW3/F1.9)
                            8MP Periscope Telephoto Lens (OIS/5x Optical Zoom/10x Hybrid Zoom),
                            Laser focus sensor
                            GW3 seems kinda meh. But time will tell how good it is.

                                Uesera, 15 Apr 2021Ultra is the new pro now. Overused terms.Actually! But, you were nice about it. The specs for both really says:

                                Axon 30 Lite

                                Axon 30

                                No pro and definitely no ultra spec devices compared to the competition. A bump in RAM and higher storage choices with a higher sensors count but with poor software, etc. doesn't *magically* warrants a device an "Pro" "Ultimate" label. Smdh!
