ZTE Axon 40 Ultra with UD selfie and triple 64MP cameras unveiled, Axon 40 Pro joins it

09 May 2022
The Ultra uses two custom IMX787 sensors for the main and ultra wide cameras and a periscope for the telephoto module.

8 gen 1 is so lame...

    Would've been basically a perfect phone had they only gone with a Dimensity 9000 instead.

      8K recording on a 256 Gb device with no other storage, meaning that in a few minutes all this would have to be transferred via USB, I truly hope they use USB 3.0 and not 2.0 like other chinese manufaturer in general :)

      I hope that at least, a 512 gb will be widely available too, but I fear the heat of S8G1 will be problematic somehow.

                    indlvarn, 09 May 202291/35= 2.6x zoom. Those Chinese manipulates that it'... moreThey probably got that idea from Apple, because that that's exactly how Apple did (or maybe still does?) count there optical zoom, in there presentations, very missleading if you ask me but...

                      This looks decent and I'm definitely a fan of all screen phones, but I'm not a fan of square phones like this or the Ultra.

                      The images from the UDC still have a cloudy, powder, blurry appearance.

                        Snapdragon 870 may well be way more thermally efficient than Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, but the Ultra's camera hardware is something I definitely cannot miss, especially the 64MP periscope telephoto sensor. Also, $745 for 8/256? Samsung really should be worried since they can only give 8/128 and a small 6.1" screen with a small 3,700mAh battery for the similarly-priced S22.

                            Cyclonite, 09 May 2022That's IR Blaster.Are you sure that's not just a microphone? It would be cool (considering Vivo has been using IR blasters lately) but I think it's just a mic.

                                Underdisplays are great. But it feels like a shame to lack LPTO and QHD on an "ultra" device in 2022. Perhaps its not feasible with an underdisplay.

                                      Such a gorgeous device that actually makes sense!!! a working & non-obstructing UDC!!! does not look like we will see an India launch.

                                      The only thing lacking is back camera island symmetry. I wish it was in the top middle
