Editorial report

ZTE Axon 30 Ultra 5G 12 GB / 256 GB / Global technical sheet

The ZTE Axon 30 Ultra 5G suits anyone looking for a high-refresh-rate display and versatile cameras, but it does not receive direct operating system updates. This version pairs 8 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage; the phone is also sold in 8 GB / 256 GB, 12 GB / 256 GB and 16 GB / 1 TB configurations.

Its 144 Hz AMOLED display and 91.1% screen-to-body ratio are among the best of its time, while its 8 mm thickness is better than most. For photography, its 64 MP camera resolution is better than most, and the f/1.6 aperture is among the brightest. The 5x optical zoom is also among the highest on phones of its time. Video recording includes 8K at 30 fps, and optical image stabilization is available.

Performance and hardware are better than most phones launched around the same time, and connectivity is among the best. The 4,600 mAh battery capacity is typical; 65 W fast charging is faster than most phones of its time offer. With a NeoScore of 7.1, the Axon 30 Ultra 5G is worth considering for anyone who prioritizes the display, optical zoom and broad connectivity, and can accept the lack of direct operating system updates.
