ZTE is probably one of the most underrated mobile brands around. Probably because their devices are rarely available outside China like their latest release: the ZTE Axon 30 Ultra and 30 Pro.
Let’s start with the fanciest of the two, the ZTE Axon 30 Ultra. This one brags a triple 64-megapixel camera setup. The first one is a Sony IMX686 sensor with a bright f/1.6 aperture and OIS. Next is a portrait lens, while the last one is an ultra-wide shooter.
The party doesn’t stop there. The Axon 30 Ultra also has a periscope-style lens, with an 8-megapixel sensor behind it packed with OIS.
Besides that, the rest of the specs are typical for a flagship. There’s the Snapdragon 888 CPU, 144Hz AMOLED screen, 66W fast charging, 5G, WiFi 6E, and more, which you can check below.
The ZTE Axon 30 Ultra has a price of CNY4,699 (around Php34,00) for the 8GB/256GB model, CNY4,999 (around Php37,000) for the 12GB/256GB, while a top-tier model with a whopping 16GB/1TB configuration at CNY6,666 (around Php49,400). Pre-orders in China will start on April 19.
