The ZTE Axon 40 Ultra is smartphone with flagship-class specs including a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, LPDDR5 memory, and UFS 3.1 storage. It has a 5,000 mAh battery and support for 65 watt fast charging, and three cameras on the back of the phone.

But it’s the front of the phone that really stands out, thanks to a 6.8 inch AMOLED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate and no camera hole or notch, thanks to an under-display camera. First launched in China in May, the ZTE Axon 40 Ultra is now available worldwide with prices starting at $799 in the US, £709 in the UK, or €829 in Europe.

The starting price is for a model with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. There’s also a 12GB/256GB option for d $899, €949, or £809.

ZTE says the phone ships with Android 12, but it will receive an Android 13 update later this year, as well as security updates every three months.
