With stiff competition in the smartphone market, manufacturers try to add unique features and outdo their competition. For ZTE, the Chinese company opts to launch the world's first 5G smartphone with an under-display camera in about two weeks, as reported by Tech Radar.
Set to launch on Sept. 1 in China, ZTE Axon 20 5G will be the world's first 5G phone that bears an under-display camera. The Guangdong, China-based company has beaten many other phone makers like Samsung, Oppo, and Xiaomi that have been working on this technology in recent years to produce a smartphone with this camera technology.
The TENAA leak also shows that Axon 20 will be loaded with quad-camera: a 64MP primary camera on the rear, an 8MP ultra-wide shooter, and 2MP macro and depth cameras as well as a 32MP selfie cam.
The ZTE Axon 5G is likely to come in three configurations with 6GB, 8GB, and 12GB RAM as well as 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB storage, respectively. Meanwhile, the smartphone will have a 4,120mAh battery.
ZTE Axon 5G: It is not a flagship phone
However, despite tagging it as the world's first 5G mobile phone with an under-display camera, ZTE Axon 5G phone may fall under the consumer's expectations. Primarily, the Qualcomm's processor that will be used in the new ZTE phone is Snapdragon 765G SoC, which is a mid-range chip and is a standard for higher-end of midrange smartphones. This is far from Qualcomm's flagship chips like the Snapdragon 865 and 865 Plus that support 2.8 and 3.1GHz systems. Also, the TENAA leak showed that the phone will have a fingerprint scanner located under the display.
While these are just leaks, we are yet to see whether the ZTE Axon 5G phone will include these features when it launches on Sept. 1 in China. However, it is not yet clear when it will be available outside of China.
