Anonymous, 17 Aug 2021Plastic on a heavily sealed up due to water resistance back... moreDude, Relax. Take a chill pill lol.
"HEAT DEFORMS PLASTIC compared to GLASS"
Yeah right and I see no deformity on my 3 yr old plastic back phone? Hmm I wonder why... 🤔
"Now imagine after a few years when the battery degrades/ you want to replace some parts with a new one, which would you prefer? Plastic or Glass?"
Why does it matter to choose plastic or glass if you're replacing A BATTERY 🤣 That logic is cahoot, hombre.
"Clearly your the one who has been brainwashed to think plastic is better(unless its easy to remove) than glass on a $900/$1000+ flagship device."
Yes. Cause it clearly says the device price is 500$, what even is this.
"Let me remind you PLASTIC is a TOXIC ECO WASTE and is already causing headache around the world that is unrecyclable than glass."
I don't have a rebuttal to this lol it might be true, but then again some of us don't care. Also, it might've gotten harder to replace the batteries on this device, but that doesn't mean it's impossible to do. I wouldn't worry to much about it.

FatShady, 17 Aug 2021people have fallen for this stupid marketing scheme that a ... morePlastic on a heavily sealed up due to water resistance back & worse its plastic! on a premium device?! Let me tell you how stupid it is as you know HEAT DEFORMS PLASTIC compared to GLASS. Now imagine after a few years when the battery degrades/ you want to replace some parts with a new one, which would you prefer? Plastic or Glass? Good if it was like the ol' Galaxy S5 with clip-on pastic back yet was still water resistant, it even had SD Card & 3.5mm jack to boot & easily replaceable battery!
Clearly your the one who has been brainwashed to think plastic is better(unless its easy to remove) than glass on a $900/$1000+ flagship device. Let me remind you PLASTIC is a TOXIC ECO WASTE and is already causing headache around the world that is unrecyclable than glass. Even their budget/entry level phones are now sealed up with plastic backs compared to before where they are clip on and easily accessible inside to replace batteries for longetivity. Its all planned obscolence this sealed up bullcrap.

[deleted post]It's almost as if I'm writing in Chinese without even knowing. I literally said S21 has plastic back. Samsung already confirmed S22+ next year will also have plastic back. I can only assume then S23 Ultra is going to have plastic back too given the trends Samsung is setting... If only ANYONE of you would actually read and also understand what I say, that would be great.

Plastic can take a far more damage than glass.
Glass is glass, and glass breaks

Singh, 17 Aug 2021Not really my friend. I am using it now. It is smooth and... moreXiaomi dont care for profit. They care to have more people in there eco system buying there devices. Buy there scooters, home electronics and so on.
And i would not whine about software issues. there is no perfect software for any brand. I rather have superior hardware with lower price over superior software with worse hardware with way higher price. And Xiaomi phones you can install what ever android on it if your hate over MIUI is so great while you cant do it with the superior software phones brands where you pay extra for the software.

the prices in china are:
Pricing in China starts at CNY 2,198 ($338) for the 6/128GB model and goes up to CNY 3,098 ($476) for the 12/256GB trim.
(https://m.gsmarena.com/zte_axon_30_5g_brings_a_secondgen_ud_camera_snapdragon_870_and_55w_charging-news-50255.php)
The prices in global:
The 8/128 GB version will come with a $500 price tag in the US, €500 in Europe and £430 in the UK. If you prefer the higher-specced model, the one with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB storage, that one will be $600/€600/£520.
$476 vs $600 for the top spec.
That is extremely expensive for global versions.

Kev, 16 Aug 2021So many countries in Europe! Yet not mine.
Oh well.Mine is there but for this price they ask for it there is no market for it and especially as this brand isn't know for my people. We have some 6 models on local web shop for this brand and they are all low end and old. While we already have different brands that have made there name and are cheaper with better price and specs.
Even tough Poco F3 dont have UD selfie cam it is already at least 200 euro cheaper then this ZTE will be. As it states it be 500 Euro. I think it be around 550 actually in shops. Never mind that it dont even have a good rear camera for this price. So basically only interesting feature it has is the UD camera and thats about it.

For the price, this is just okay. Not much to say with ZTE software support, so I think a lot of people will pass on this unless they are dead-set to spend under 700 on a phone with recent specs and the UD camera.
