Editorial report
ZTE Axon 31 Ultra 5G 12 GB / 512 GB / China technical sheet
The ZTE Axon 31 Ultra 5G suits buyers looking for a fluid display and ambitious camera specifications. Its 144 Hz screen has one of the highest refresh rates among phones of its time, while the 91% screen-to-body ratio is also among the highest. The Super AMOLED display measures 6.67″ and has a resolution of 1080 × 2400 px, setting out the available screen area and pixel detail.
Performance and hardware are among the best of its time. This version pairs a Snapdragon 888 with 12 GB RAM and 512 GB storage, more storage than most phones of its time offer. Storage cannot be expanded. The camera specifications are also a strong point: the 64 MP main sensor and f/1.6 aperture are among the best of their time, and the phone includes optical image stabilization plus 4K and 8K video. Connectivity is better than most, with 5G, NFC, Wi-Fi 6 and dual SIM support.
One meaningful limitation matters to buyers who rely on Google’s integrated services: the phone has no Google Services. Its 4600 mAh battery capacity is typical for its time, while 66 W charging is faster than most phones of that period offer. With an overall NeoScore of 7.1, the Axon 31 Ultra 5G is a compelling fit for anyone prioritizing a high-refresh display and camera features, provided Google Services are not essential.
