Chinese tech reviewers have confirmed that and ZTE representative may have also mentioned it in the launch event as well (not sure since the event was held at 2pm which I was working at that time so I couldn't watch it myself).

        If they support US LTE bands then i'll be happy. The last ZTE phone to properly support US bands was the Axon 10 pro. The Axon 10 Pro was great phone. It was nearly perfect. Sometimes I wish I bought more than one lolol...

              ZTE is by far the most innovative phone company today.

                          Lccy , 10 May 2022I’ve been trying to find out the size of the imx787 sensor,... moreBelow translation is from Chinese media. Seems to be 1\1.73". The main difference from the imx686 is the focusing technology and speed

                          'The IMX787 used this time has a 1/1.73-inch 6400W camera and a 35mm focal length. The bottom of the CMOS is not very large. Although the specifications are similar to the IMX686, it is not the "vest version" of the IMX686. The new IMX787 Support full-pixel focus, can output 4K 120fps video natively, IMX787 native high-sensitivity ISO has 12800 (Nubia secondary gain can reach 25600), IMX686's native high-sensitivity ISO is only 6400, 787 microlens is the same as 766/789 The model is 2*2 OCL, while the 686 is 2*1 OCL. From this point of view, the Axon 40Ultra is indeed "Ultra" enough, whether it is the photosensitive image quality or the focusing speed compared with the previous generation.'

                            you have to suffer, 09 May 2022sd 870?? hell nah thats a huge downgrade. just fan the phon... moreFunny you say that, it doesn't really work all the time. A friend of mine always uses an external fan on his Motorola Edge 30 Pro but the difference is not big enough for him to warrant a full use of it. Even with the fan, it still feels toasty. His previous Edge 20 Pro works fine on full speed without any fan whatsoever. If I really want to have a fan on a smartphone, I want to have a premium counterpart of ZTE's nubia Red Magic phones.

                              Xiaomi should take notes from zte. Mi12 is like a joke compared to zte 40.

                                The 30 Ultra had middling camera reviews with a similar triple 64 PM setup. Fringing, color shift, and limited dynamic range is what I remember. So I am not holding my breath that ZTE's computational photography is much improved in a year.

                                  I’ve been trying to find out the size of the imx787 sensor, I am convinced it’s smaller than 1/1.3inches.

                                    9000 in their next model : zte axon 50 ultra or perhaps
                                    zte axon ultra 40 se but i ll be waiting for a 100x zoom
                                    like the one in p40pro plus + a dimensity 9000 chipset

                                      George399, 09 May 2022US will ban any chinese telecommunications company inside t... moreZTE is not banned from selling phones in the US. They were on probation. They've never been invested in bringing their best devices to compete on US soil. I think the Axon 10 pro was available here, but I've usually only seen entry level ZTE phones offered on carriers.

                                      Their bread and butter in the US was telecommunications. Not handsets.

                                        This 40 Ultra is perfect powerful on paper but i hope it is when put into practicality

                                        Nd o is it IP rated??
