ZTE Axon 40 specs leak, nubia Z40 Pro magnetic wireless charging teased
The ZTE brand nubia will launch the Z40 Pro smartphone on February 25, and it is going to be the first commercially available Android smartphone with magnetic charging. The feature was revealed in an official teaser on Weibo, followed by a short video, demoing the technology.

The Weibo account of nubia also posted an image revealing the structure of the mechanism - it has an array of magnets under the wireless charging coil, and there is also a plate to protect the rest of the phone’s internals from any magnetic interference. The photo also reveals the third shooter will be a periscope camera.

In the meantime, another ZTE phone popped up on TENAA, and based on the specs, we think it is the Axon 40. It has a 64MP main cam, 8MP ultrawide unit and a 5MP shooter for either depth data or macro shots.

The CPU frequency is 3.2 GHz, which matches the Snapdragon 870 chip. Storage has four options (128/256/512 GB/1 TB), as does RAM (6/8/12/16 GB), but we have to wait for the eventual launch to learn the actual memory combinations.
