ZTE Axon 40 Ultra review

11 June 2022


Sort by:

The selfie camera photos are honestly looking pretty solid now. Their third gen UDC really is a major improvement. I mostly use my selfie camera for snapchats and I feel like this phone would be just fine for that.

    Missing hi res is a sad thing, so is the camera processing. Good thing there is a raw to save it, if you edit 64mp shots, it should look better.

      The curve on the front panel seems way 'worse' than what Samsung offer, I do hope that there will be an end to these ... 2.5D is more than fine and more 'solid' :)

      Glad to see how the UDC is perfoming though, hope it'll become standard! :)

          I totally agree with your introduction to this review: quote "When did we decide that the 24-26mm focal length was the 'default' one for 'main' cameras on smartphones? " etc... liked the main, ultrawide and telephoto daylight pics very much but from there on unfortunately it disappointed with inconsistent and lesser quality pics and video. It was on my list of possible purchases to replace my gracefully ageing but still very good Note 4 with 31mm fl.

              Well , 104h is low for phone with FHD + 5000mAh ..

              Axon 40 Ultra = best phone ZTE has cmes with 1/1.76", but Nubia 40 Pro has 1/1.3" 😒

                Panino Manino, 11 Jun 2022Unfortunatelly the software is still not final, too many up... morewow, the ultrawide lens is amazing, no corner softness at all.

                  Unfortunatelly the software is still not final, too many updates still being pushed and they are removing and adding features (in the camera).

                    I tried my friend's Axon 40 Ultra before it went global in China. Overall it's a very nice high-end smartphone. I love the design though it is quite similar to my Note 20U. I really hope ZTE can bring back IP68(as they did on Axon9) to make it a fully-packed flagship.

                      wow that 64mp ultrawide cam is really amazing, great design, amazing screen with no holes but why brightnes only at 600 nits zte?

                        slow motion in 4k?? amazing
