ZTE’s Near‑Future 5G Phone Is Going To Blow Your Mind
*There’s a buzz on the street: ZTE is about to drop the ZTE Axon 20 5G, and this thing may just be the first mass‑produced 5G smartphone with an under‑display camera. That means you’ll have a full‑screen experience—no annoying notch or tiny hole where the selfie cam is hiding.
What We Know So Far
- Launch date: 1 September 2020 in China (the big day is just a few weeks away).
- Cameraless display: A rendering shared by Nei Fei, the Mobile Devices President at ZTE, shows a sleek, uninterrupted screen—no cut‑outs, no dots, no real estate wasted.
- Industry brag: ZTE confirmed it’s the first 5G phone this size that actually put the camera under the glass, making the device a genuine “full‑display” machine.
Who Else Is Trying to Catch Up?
It’s not just ZTE chasing this trend. Visionox has been bragging about its under‑display tech, and you’ve seen Oppo and Xiaomi flaunt the idea in prototypes. But nobody has rolled out a mass‑produced version yet.
Huawei’s Secret Weapon
Huawei has filed patents for an under‑display camera, but we’re left guessing: will their next Mate flagship actually sport it? Time will tell.
Why It Matters
This isn’t just a gimmick; it’s a tech sprint. Building a camera that sits beneath the screen without hurting image quality or battery life is a real engineering hurdle. ZTE’s win would probably mean a smooth, uninterrupted display that looks better than any competitor’s.
Get Your Phones Ready!
We’re at the edge of the cliff, folks. As the launch date gets closer, all eyes will be on the Axon 20 5G. Will it deliver on its promise? If you’re in China, keep your friends on standby for an exclusive first-look—otherwise, you can still shoot your own “unspoiled” selfie with that neat full‑screen thing.
