Chinese phone maker ZTE is expanding its lineup of 5G smartphones with the addition of Axon 11, the company’s third 5G capable smartphone so far. The Axon 11 5G is packed with high-end specifications including a 64MP quad-camera, an AMOLED display, starting at only $380.

Design and Display

The device has a 6.47-inch FHD+ AMOLED display that is curved at the edges similar to the OnePlus 7 Pro. It features a waterdrop notch for the front-facing camera and a blazing fast in-display optical fingerprint sensor.

The back has a square-shaped quad-camera module in the top left corner, just above the dual-LED flash.

Internals and Storage

The Axon 11 5G comes with the gaming-oriented Snapdragon 765G chipset with three different memory configurations including 6GB/128GB, 8GB/128GB, and top-end 8GB/256GB. All variants include a microSD card slot for expandable storage.

Cameras

The main 64MP camera is accompanied by an 8MP ultrawide lens that can capture 120 degrees wide-angle shots. Additionally, there is also a pair of 2MP shooters, a macro and a depth-sensing camera.

The front-facing camera inside the waterdrop notch is a 20MP camera with AI beauty modes and filters.

Battery and Pricing

The battery compartment has a 4,000 mAh power cell that is equipped with 18W fast charging. It should be able to charge the device from 0 to 100% in around 90 minutes.
