Editorial report

ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Space Edition 18 GB / 1 TB / China technical sheet

The ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Space Edition suits buyers looking for generous memory and a versatile camera setup; its 204 g weight is a drawback, and this China configuration has no Google Services. Its NeoScore is 7.5.

The 6.8″ AMOLED display reaches 1500 nits peak brightness, higher than that of most phones of its time. Its 92.9% screen-to-body ratio is also among the highest. The 120 Hz refresh rate and 400 ppi are typical figures for the period. This configuration pairs 18 GB of RAM with 1 TB of storage, capacities among the highest of their time; its AnTuTu v10 result of 1,061,300 is better than most.

For photography, the 64 MP cameras and 3.5x optical zoom put the camera setup among the best of its time. The main camera’s f/1.6 aperture is also among the brightest, and it has optical image stabilization. Its 80 W charging power is higher than that of most phones of its time. Connectivity overall is better than most, with 5G, NFC, Wi-Fi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.2. This is a strong fit for buyers prioritizing the display, storage, and camera versatility who can accept a heavy phone and the absence of Google Services.
