Editorial report

ZTE Axon 30 Ultra Aerospace Edition technical sheet

The ZTE Axon 30 Ultra Aerospace Edition suits buyers looking for ample memory, a fast display, and a versatile camera system. Its main trade-off is significant: this model has no Google Services, which matters to anyone relying on Google apps and services. The configuration pairs 18 GB of RAM with 1 TB of storage, among the highest capacities in phones of its time. Its processor is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888.

The 6.67″ AMOLED display runs at 144 Hz, a refresh rate among the best of its time. The screen also fills 91% of the front, another figure among the era’s highest. For photography, the 64 MP camera has an f/1.6 aperture, better than most phones launched around the same time; the main camera also has optical image stabilization. Video recording includes 8K, and the system includes an ultrawide camera.

The 4600 mAh battery capacity is typical for its time, while 66 W charging is among the fastest. Other specifications include 5G, NFC, Wi-Fi 6, and dual SIM. Its overall NeoScore is 7.2. This is a standout choice for buyers prioritizing the display, memory, and camera hardware, provided the lack of Google Services is not a deal-breaker.
