Snapdragon 888 and three 64MP sensors. Smartphone with “strongest camera of 2021” goes on sale in China

Today in China, sales of a smartphone are starting, which the developers themselves called a model with “the strongest camera of 2021”. This claim has yet to be verified, but overall the ZTE Axon 30 Ultra does look interesting in terms of the camera.

This model is built on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 platform, is equipped with a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a frame rate of 144 Hz and a 4600 mAh battery with support for 66 W fast charging. It has three configurations: 8/256 GB for $ 720, 12/256 GB for $ 765 and 16 GB / 1 TB for $ 1020.

A special feature of the Axon 30 Ultra is that the main camera has three 64-megapixel sensors (the main one is a Sony IMX686 1 / 1.7-inch optical format, supplemented by a fast lens with an F / 1.6 aperture and an optical stabilization system), as well as there is a periscope module with an 8-megapixel sensor, 5x optical zoom and optical stabilization.

ZTE Axon 30 Pro is simpler: the third 64-megapixel sensor is replaced by a 5-megapixel one (used for macro shooting), and instead of a periscope camera with smooth optical zoom – a 2-megapixel module used for scene depth analysis. This model has a 6.67-inch AMOLED screen with a frame rate of 120 Hz, a 4200 mAh battery with support for 55 W fast charging.

It is logical that the cost of the Axon 30 Pro is lower. The base version with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of flash memory is priced at $ 460. The 8/128 GB and 8/256 GB variants cost $ 505 and $ 550 respectively.
