Editorial report
ZTE Axon 40 6 GB / 128 GB / China technical sheet
The ZTE Axon 40 suits anyone looking for a large AMOLED display and a 64 MP rear camera. Its 6.67-inch screen has a 120 Hz refresh rate and 1080 × 2400 px resolution; curved glass comes with Always-On Display and HDR10+. For design and display, it fares better than most phones launched around the same time. The rear camera’s 64 MP resolution is also higher than that of most phones of its time, and it has optical image stabilization. An 8 MP ultra-wide camera and a 5 MP macro camera round out the rear setup.
Performance and hardware are typical for phones of its time. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 is paired with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, with no card expansion. The battery has a typical 5,000 mAh capacity, while 66 W fast charging has more power than that of most phones launched around the same time. Other features include 5G, NFC, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1. This China configuration has no Google Services, an important drawback for anyone who relies on them. Overall, the ZTE Axon 40 fares better than most phones of its time, with a NeoScore of 6.6. It is an appealing choice for its display and camera, provided the lack of Google Services is not a deal-breaker.
