ZTE has introduced a new high-end device, the Axon 60 Ultra. But don’t get excited about it, though, as you may never get your hands on it unless you work in China.
The new ZTE Axon 60 Ultra will be exclusive to Chinese government users and enterprise markets, and will not be available commercially. It shouldn’t matter, though, as there are competing devices that offer a similar, if not better, set of specs and features.
For one, it is powered by the last-gen’s Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 flagship processor, joined with 12GB of RAM and 256GB/512GB of storage. Like most high-end phones, it has a 120Hz AMOLED screen, 80W fast charging, and dual 50-megapixel main cameras.
What makes it special is its dual satellite connectivity, which not a lot of high-end phones have. It lets you make calls and send texts through China’s Tiantong satellite system. It is also one of the first devices to have 5G-Advance or 5.5G connectivity via China Mobile.
The price for the ZTE Axon 60 Ultra was not mentioned and that information is probably reserved for the markets it’s made for.
