FatShady, 12 Jun 2022here we go again with that bullshit "once you try 120h... moreIt doesn't a actually consume twice the power despite what you think. Logic doesn't work like that. The power consumption of a panel is not majority based on its refresh rate. So you don't go from 1x to 2x by doing 60 to 120.

And you CAN see a difference, objectively and subjectively. Whether or not you care, that's you. But dont take away the benefit that is there just because it is not important for you

    x3merrr, 11 Jun 2022i would actually buy this phone if they only used a normal ... moreLIterally, non-normal selfie camera is the main selling point of this phone, as it provides fully uninterrupted screen viewing experience... every other aspect of this phone is better done and performs better in other smartphone models, even for less money..

      NeonHD, 11 Jun 2022> 60hz is enough The majority of people would disagre... moreWhen I got my last phone which had a 90hz screen, the difference between that and 60hz was very noticeable, but I can't really tell any difference between 90hz and 120hz.

      As with everything, some people couldn't care less if the text on there screens blurs when scrolling, the same as on PC monitors.

        FatShady, 12 Jun 2022here we go again with that bullshit "once you try 120h... moreyou do know HRR can be used for other things such as gaming right? There's also something called Adaptive refresh rate which most flagships have

          FatShady, 12 Jun 2022here we go again with that bullshit "once you try 120h... moreCompletely agree. The manufacturers just seems to understand what the customers want. Flagship I will never buy because of bad battery life. And so on. Viewing angles of screen....I never watch my screen in an angle...

            Will ZTE open bootloader for this device?
            I won't buy anything if I can't put a custom ROM in it

              My only real worry was the batterylife, given this review I will absolutely be picking this phone up.
              For that single annual selfie I take I still use my 2016 Huawei Mate 9 anyway

                NeonHD, 11 Jun 2022> 60hz is enough The majority of people would disagre... morehere we go again with that bullshit "once you try 120hz you won't go back to 60hz", such an absolute bullshit that is being said all the ignorants, my phone has a 120hz screen and its been on 60hz for the past 11 out of 12months, the 120hz on phones does almost nothing but consumes twice the battery, also, why the hell would anyone want to scroll fast in social media? isn't the point to see posts and not to get pass by them.

                  Anonymous, 11 Jun 2022Another pathetic battery life, very disappointed 6.8 inches 5K mah battery at 104hrs of endurance with power sapping Snapdragon 8Gen 1 chipset is pathetic? I really think your expectations are over the top?

                    Anonymous, 11 Jun 2022Main camera of this axon is 1/1.76" as well. It is ... moreThey're not the same one as last Axon since it's slightly customized and improved version of it.

                      x3merrr, 11 Jun 2022i would actually buy this phone if they only used a normal ... moreZTE Axon 40 Ultra and Vivo X80 Pro definitely aren't in the same league. ZTE probably just wanted to prove they have potential and show what they would do to be called innovative. They fulfilled their goal. Whereas, X80 Pro is a complete package premium flagship with a big assertion for cameras but with subpar software.
                      So you needn't have contained their names in the same comment, it looks like you're really comparing these two, and showing the latter as the real alternative to the former. If you're doing this for real, then you're mistaken.

                        It is not same of the 64MP used by Zte Nubia 40 Pro.

                          NeonHD, 11 Jun 2022> 60hz is enough The majority of people would disagre... moreAll phones that can go beyond 60Hz come from factory set 60Hz by default.
                          Majority is still using 60 without knowing.

                          Brands are wasting money on it.

                            mobileman, 11 Jun 2022aaah! no,agsin dissapointment. cant use that phone sunlig... moreSo, ppl between 2012-2018 could use outdoors phones with less than 600 nits (cough cough samsung) but now somehow they cannot see those that have 650-700 nits?

                            Curious to know how it is possible ....

                              Anonymous, 11 Jun 2022Well , 104h is low for phone with FHD + 5000mAh .. Axon... moreAxon 40 Ultra and Nubia 40 Pro have the same camera sensor.
                              We initially thought it's a 1/1.3" type sensor but while we reviewed the Axon, we dug out the correct sensor size.
                              The specs page of the Nubia 40 Pro would be updated to say 1/1.76".

                                No. Only the telephoto lens has a 1/1.76" sensor. The wide and UW sensors are 1/1.33"

                                  a lof of flaws considering the asking price,iphones and galaxies leaves almost no competition

                                    i would actually buy this phone if they only used a normal selfie camera.
                                    ...this way, ill probably go for x80pro or something like that.

                                      mobileman, 11 Jun 2022aaah! no,agsin dissapointment. cant use that phone sunlig... more> 60hz is enough

                                      The majority of people would disagree now. Once high refresh rate has become mainstream (which it already has), literally nobody would want to go back to 60hz.


                                      > battery life is also lausy

                                      Did you even read the review? The battery life is above average. According to another review, it gets around 8 hours SOT, which is slightly more than the S22 Ultra.

                                        MyOS 12 looks a lot like MIUI, but more polished and consistent.
