ZTE has announced the global availability of its first under-display camera 5G smartphone, the Axon 20 5G last 21 December 2020. The device’s new color, Sunrise Yellow, is now ready for the global market in selected countries and regions, to be made available starting Thursday, 07 January 2021.

Sunrise Yellow, Made for a Better Touch

Made from vegan leather, the yellow color of the back of the phone is reminiscent of the warm glow of a morning sunrise. It is smooth and soft to the touch while at the same time helps to make the back more durable and waterproof compared to phones with a glass back panel. The ZTE Axon 20 5G weighs 198g, 7.98mm, with a double-curved waistline arc design and the overall feel is comfortable even after using the phone for a long time.

This new color is named Sunrise Yellow, to contrast with our previous color, Midnight Black. This bright color represents our hope for a better future after the rough 2020 we just experienced. In the dark, there will always be light.

Unobstructed True Vivid Full Display As Everything is Under-display

The ZTE Axon 20 5G Sunrise Yellow enjoys the same spec as the black version. Packing the same advanced under-display technologies, delivering a true full-display without any notch or punch hole. This device also features industry-leading 5G technologies, an AI Quad camera, and a 6.92” OLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate for a smooth day-to-day 5G experience.

By using more transparent screen materials, dual-control chips, unique driver circuits, a special pixel matrix, and its in-house selfie algorithm, the front camera is housed invisibly under the screen. With the light sensor, sound speaker, and fingerprint sensor all under-display, the true full screen offers an immersive visual experience.

With a full 6.92-inch FHD+ OLED display, with 10-bit color depth, and 100% coverage of DCI-P3 color gamut, 90Hz refresh rate, and 240Hz sample rate, the smooth and responsive screen can satisfy every need for day-to-day viewing and entertainment. Watching videos and playing games are more pleasurable.

Fast & Stable 5G Experience

The ZTE Axon 20 5G features upgraded antenna technology to ensure an ultra-fast 5G experience anytime and anywhere. ZTE’s Super Antenna 2.0 is a cutting-edge PDS antenna with a 360-degree surround integrated design and intelligent closed-loop tuning technology, which can improve network connection stability and download speed.

Photography Every Moment Vividly & Stably

ZTE has made continuous efforts in improving the video functions of its smartphones to meet the creative needs of younger generations in the 5G era. The device features a 64MP super HD main camera that supports 4K high-resolution video at 60fps, super night scenes, video beauty, and real-time HDR video in multiple lighting conditions. In addition, the main and wide-angle lenses support image stabilization, which helps to shoot videos of higher quality.

Smooth Day-to-Day Performance

Powered by the Qualcomm SnapdragonTM 765G mobile platform, the ZTE Axon 20 5G features a new-generation full-scenario system optimization engine. The 4,220mAh battery can support 30W Quick Charging and has a 5G power-saving mode that improves battery life by 35%. The heat dissipation capabilities are improved through a triple-level intelligent heat dissipation system, which includes liquid cooling circulation, carbon nanofiber thermal pad, and graphite material. Thus it will always remain cool during power intense activities such as playing games, viewing short videos, or watching movies.
