Editorial report

ZTE Axon 31 5G 8 GB / 128 GB / China technical sheet

The ZTE Axon 31 5G suits people looking for a high-refresh-rate display and a versatile camera setup. Its main trade-off is battery capacity: 4,200 mAh is less than most phones launched around the same time, although its 55 W charging power is higher than most. This China-market version does not include Google Services.

The 6.67″ Super AMOLED display reaches 144 Hz, among the highest refresh rates of its time. At 7.8 mm, the body is among the thinnest, while its screen-to-body ratio is better than most. For camera-focused buyers, the 64 MP resolution and 1/1.7″ sensor size are better than most; optical image stabilization is also included. An 8 MP ultra-wide camera adds another framing option.

The Snapdragon 768G is paired with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. Its AnTuTu v9 result of 450,000 places the hardware better than most phones of its time. Overall, the ZTE Axon 31 5G earns a NeoScore of 6.3 and stands better than most phones launched around the same time. It is an appealing choice for people who prioritize the display and camera, provided the smaller battery capacity and lack of Google Services are acceptable trade-offs.
