Design
The body gets a clean and simple design, with a flat plastic back, light colour gradients, and two distinct circular camera cutouts, which host the triple camera array as well as flash units. On the front, the flawless display takes up most of the space, with only the bottom bezel getting any minute heft to make it noticeable enough. Even the pinhole cutout for the selfie camera is pretty small, so you can easily ignore it while watching movies.
The display uses a brilliant and responsive 6.67-inch AMOLED display, which delivers FHD+ resolution at a 20:9 aspect ratio, but just a 60Hz of refresh rate. So, while you get lots of visual space, the content displayed isn't as crisp or responsive as it could have been. The same goes for the rear, which looks good but is still a plastic back. These are areas where ZTE has saved some money while still delivering a pretty capable smartphone.
Performance
To make it truly capable, the company has added an older, but still worthy, Dimensity 810, paired with up to 8GB of RAM and at least 256GB of storage. While you don't get MicroSD expansion, you can still enjoy connecting to a 3.5mm jack, as well as mild IP53 dust and water resistance. The entire setup is powered by a massive 4,510mAh battery, which supports up to 66W of fast charging. This can deliver you 0-55% battery charge in just 15 minutes.
On the camera front, you get a main 64MP sensor and a 5MP macro and 2MP depth sensor. As you can guess, only the main camera is worth expecting any decent performance from, while the other units are mostly filler. On the front, you just get a simple 16MP selfie unit. They have even packed a fingerprint scanner on the side, so you get the most responsive and accurate hardware-based security. The fact that they can put all of that and more in a body that is barely 7.6mm thick is a great achievement already.
