The ZTE Axon 30 Ultra is a smartphone with flagship-class specs including a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor, a 6.67 inch, 2400 x 1800 pixel AMOLED display with a 144 Hz refresh rate, and a rear camera system that features three 64MP cameras plus an 8MP telephoto camera with 5X magnification.
After going on sale in China earlier this year, the ZTE Axon 30 Ultra is now available worldwide with prices starting at $749 for a model with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. There’s also a 12GB/256GB version priced at $849.
The phone features LPDDR5 memory and UFS 3.1 storage and features stereo speakers with DTS: X sound. It supports WiFi 6E wireless networks as well as Bluetooth 5.2 and 5G and 4G LTE cellular networks – although customers in the US should note that the Axon 30 Ultra will work with AT&T and T-Mobile, but not Verizon.
Security features include an in-display fingerprint reader and the phone support face recognition. And you can quickly charge the handset’s 4,600 mAh battery thanks to support for 65-watt fast charging.

I have a ZTE Warp from 2011 (yes, with gingerbread, yumm) and I have an iPhone SE from 2016, and I still use the ZTE’s camera
