Good hardware, terrible updates and worse support.

Whilst I like the 16MP results a lot, we are STILL (after all these years!!!) NOT being shown full sensor resolution results edited from RAW files, & looking at the full resolution jpegs from this quad-Bayer sensor here, I note they are really dreadful, with no effection resolution/acuity at all. And they cannot be rescued by sharpening them in post either, but I very much hope that there IS the option to record in RAW in the settings, like I can on my old G4 and my Lumia 950, which gives exquisitely detailed results from RAW dngs made in camera. Its great to have the same sensor for the Ultrawide though, but I would so much prefer a sensor WITH 64MP of resolution instead of 16, because for me to purchase a phone like this without a genuine 50, 64, or whatever MP resolution, is to go back in time in terms of image quality to the 12MP Nokia N8 of 2010, which in good light STILL equals what a£1500 iPhone 14 Pro can do with stills, ridiculous how the high IQ market seems to have collapsed along with our Covid-fogged IQs!!

I just recommended to activate developer mode and kill all background processes which works for me but for me this will affect notifications from social media apps. To avoid this, do not follow that recommendation and instead allow the apps to run in the background from the Battery Settings

Hi everyone,

I would like to share my experience with the Axon 40 ultra after using it for two weeks note that I am using the Chinese ROM because I reside in China.

For the first week I was really disappointed because of the unusual arrangement of the user interface and settings, the quick heat, aggressive appas management and selfie camera that I didn't know how to use it properly.

The catch is that I found solutions to all these problems and here I am gonna share with you as follows :

Take your time to familiarize yourself with the user skin because everything you need is there but sometimes the translation sucks and some settings are placed under different tabs other than what we are used to.

For the heat that affects your experience, performance and battery life, just activate the Developer Mode then go to Background Process Limit and set it to No Limit and the phone will never get hot and will run much faster and smoother with better battery performance.

Selfies are awesome but you need to control light source because it's designed to catch as much light as possible so by taking selfies while the light is behind the phone, you will get amazing selfies.

Regarding the rear camera setup, it's the best with the fastest auto-focus and consistent results across all cameras. More importantly, the most realistic photos ever with the minimum enhancements, processing or interference from the system (contrary to the selfies which is a must there). Also camera modes named Camera Family have great features and you should try them to understand what I mean.

If you get it with Chinese ROM like mine, the only way to get all the Apps you want without rooting is by using APK Pure App which runs perfectly or you can use any similar services of your preference.

The only drawback is the speakers that are loud but noisy at max level. This is a real shame ZTE for a premium device.

Another minor issue is the zoom is not up to bar with other compitiors; it should be at least 5x optical zoom.

In short guys, it's a great device in every aspect except for the speakers note that I am using 12 + 256 and really regretted not getting 1T + 16 RAM.

Hope you find it helpful if you like this device.

I think it has now been established that it is a 1/1.73" type sensor. Before launch it was rumoured to be a larger sensor but after the launch in China many sources stated it's 1/1.73". I've copied a translation from a Chinese source below which provides more details on the sensor.

'The IMX787 used this time has a 1/1.73-inch 6400W camera and a 35mm focal length. The bottom of the CMOS is not very large. Although the specifications are similar to the IMX686, it is not the "vest version" of the IMX686. The new IMX787 Support full-pixel focus, can output 4K 120fps video natively, IMX787 native high-sensitivity ISO has 12800 (Nubia secondary gain can reach 25600), IMX686's native high-sensitivity ISO is only 6400, 787 microlens is the same as 766/789 The model is 2*2 OCL, while the 686 is 2*1 OCL. From this point of view, the Axon 40Ultra is indeed "Ultra" enough, whether it is the photosensitive image quality or the focusing speed compared with the previous generation. type sensor.'

I don't experience any of these problems. Apart from the weakness of the selfie camera, it's a very good phone!
