Editorial report
ZTE Axon 40 SE 4 GB / 128 GB / Americas technical sheet
The ZTE Axon 40 SE suits buyers looking for a slim, light phone with an AMOLED display. Its main trade-offs are a 60 Hz refresh rate, 4 GB of RAM, and a 4,500 mAh battery, which has less capacity than most phones of its time. Its 86.7% screen-to-body ratio is better than most, while the refresh rate is among the weakest of its time. The display measures 6.67 inches and has a density of 395 ppi.
At 7.6 mm thick and 182 g, the phone is among the thinnest of its time and weighs less than most. The rear main camera’s 50.1 MP resolution is higher than that of most phones launched around the same time; it records video at 1080p and 30 fps. The 8 MP front camera also records at that resolution and frame rate. The battery supports 22.5 W charging.
This configuration pairs 4 GB RAM with expandable 128 GB storage. The phone runs Android 12 and includes Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Overall, it is typical among phones launched around the same time and earns a NeoScore of 4.7. It is best suited to buyers who prioritize a slim design, AMOLED display, and high rear main camera resolution, and can accept a low refresh rate, less RAM, and a lower-capacity battery than most.
