ZTE Axon 40 Ultra is a powerful and stylish smartphone from the brand, which truly deserves the Ultra tag, just based on the base configuration available. We start with a lightweight aluminium frame that is wrapped with glass on both sides. On the rear, you get a plain minimalist theme with a subtle matte finish. The majority of space above is taken by a large camera cutout that is in the form of a broad vertical rectangle. The camera sensors have been fitted to the left of the box, inside large circular cutouts that feature proper cushioning on all sides to enable optical image stabilisation. You also get a dual LED array that is bright enough for shooting images on the darkest of nights.
