Editorial report
ZTE Axon 20 5G 12 GB / 256 GB / China technical sheet
The ZTE Axon 20 5G suits buyers after a large OLED display and capable hardware, with a 4,220 mAh battery that holds less than average for phones of its time as the main trade-off. This configuration pairs 12 GB of RAM with 256 GB of storage. The phone is also sold with 8 GB / 128 GB and 8 GB / 256 GB.
Its 6.92″ display has a pixel density of 400 ppi, above average, while the 90 Hz refresh rate is average for phones launched around the same time. The AnTuTu result is better than that of most phones from that period. Its 1/1.72″ main sensor is larger than the sensors in most phones of its time, and the camera overall is better than most. Connectivity also stands above average.
Battery capacity is the clearest compromise, although 30 W fast charging is above average for its time. At 198 g, the phone is heavier than average for phones launched around the same time. The ZTE Axon 20 5G earns a NeoScore of 5.7. It makes sense for buyers who prioritize a large OLED screen, generous memory and a camera setup that fares well against phones of its time, and can accept a smaller-than-average battery.
