ZTE Axon 30 5G brings second-gen UD camera, Snapdragon 870 and 55W charging

27 July 2021
ZTE completely reworked the display and camera tech from its Axon 20 5G.

Sort by:

So if they actually priced it at 338(which is price for China) it would have been srsly competitive with poco f3 nord 2 realme x7 max. But this is just a ud camera phone not actuall competitive midranger tho. So been sd 870 120 hz amoled with 55w charging is impressive even if price a bit higher like 500 dollar. But then again ppl buy it for ud camera rest of specs should be like decent so kudos to ZTE.

    HaterzSuckkkkk, 28 Jul 2021This is pretty cool. Now why didn't ZTE bring the U... moreCuz ud camera is currently very limited and they did not have enough time to produce it for axon 30 ultra. Most likely could be same case with axon 40 series but lets hope it come sowtth ultra next time too

And I actually like this phone like the most of the other zte phones

          This is pretty cool.

          Now why didn't ZTE bring the UD camera on the ultra?

            Andre , 28 Jul 2021Except that it will be $500 dollars for 8GB in the west. A lot of people seem to forget that with these phones.

                    That I am right and even fans of this tech start to notice it?
                    Sure.

                          I think this is better than those offered by Oppo & Vivo

                              This should be the trend every other manufacturer should follow, not increasing the screen size or making the bulky.

                                Even if we take out the poor quality under display camera the specs to price ratio is still excellent

                                  So the global prices wil be up by at least 25-50% percent

Ice wrote Samsung chose pic quality over having the perfect screen. That means the camera may be slightly transparent at certain angles like the Axon 20 but the pic quality will be better. I just saw a pic from the ZTE Axon 30. It's not winning any photo awards but there was definitely progress.

                                        His tweet also reads a pixel density of 400ppi is currently the maximum that can be used with a UPC but he doesn't make it clear if Samsung is using 400 or lower. The Axon 30 is using 400.
