Editorial report
ZTE Axon 40 Pro technical sheet
The ZTE Axon 40 Pro suits people looking for a fluid display and a high-resolution main camera, though its f/1.9 aperture is worse than most phones of its time. The 6.67-inch AMOLED display runs at 144 Hz, among the highest refresh rates of phones launched around the same time. Its 90.4% screen-to-body ratio is also among the best of its time.
The main camera pairs 108 MP resolution with a 1/1.52-inch sensor; both specifications are better than those of most phones in their respective measures. Optical image stabilization is included as well. The 5000 mAh battery supports 66 W fast charging, which has more power than most phones of its time. The Axon 40 Pro stands better than most phones launched around the same time for performance, connectivity and battery; its AnTuTu result is also better than most.
This configuration combines 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage; the phone is also sold in a 12 GB / 256 GB version. It runs Android 12 and does not receive direct operating-system updates. For anyone prioritizing a high-refresh-rate display, a 108 MP camera and fast charging, it brings clear strengths, with the aperture as a trade-off. Its NeoScore is 6.8, making it worth considering for people seeking those features in a phone of its time.
