I don’t know when, the battle of mobile phone manufacturers has shifted from competing thousands of yuan phones to flagship phones with heavy stockpiling. Everyone is no longer satisfied with the first launch of top-performance chips, but put more energy into it. In the realization of product differentiation, a more stylish and individual appearance, a powerful integrated hardware collocation, an excellent imaging system and so on are required. Perhaps the supply chain is becoming more mature, or the consumer's vision has become more and more critical. In short, the current domestic flagship players are stacking materials for a flagship machine regardless of cost.
In this increasingly fierce arms race, manufacturers have indeed given users more surprises. For example, the just-released ZTE Axon30 Ultra was the first to use a three-camera imaging system. As the first flagship with three 64-megapixel main cameras, what differentiated experience can it bring to consumers? Let's take a look.
business tough appearance
In the field of high-end flagship phones, ZTE seems to have always had its own aesthetic sense. Each generation of flagship products are stylish but unique in business style. It has become the user's inertial cognition of ZTE mobile phones. In the 5G era, the screen has become larger. Considering the balance of battery life, imaging system and other functions, more requirements are put forward for appearance design and body structure.
This one in my hand is black and black. From the back, it looks very tough, business, and a touch of mystery. The back cover of the AG matte process gives a gentle touch and is not easy to stain fingerprints. The back camera uses a larger convex design, because in addition to the three high-specification main cameras, it also plugs in an 8-megapixel ultra-telephoto periscope lens with a 60x hybrid zoom capability. The raised rear camera module also uses a high-gloss mirror process,Formed a more obvious contrast with the back cover. This is also a common processing method used in the current flagship machine. The difference is that ZTE has designed two layers of protrusions for the lens, with a progressive layering that looks more advanced.
Both the back and the front are treated with a larger arc (70°) curved surface. The part extending to the middle of the phone on both sides is further narrowed, and the middle is connected by a thin metal middle frame to ensure A good grip feel. The upper and lower middle frame adopts a flat design, which is contrary to the large curved design on the back and front. This contrasting shape has been seen on many high-end flagship machines before, giving people a strong sense of visual impact.
The front is a centered perforated full screen design, 6.67 inches, not too big nor too small, AMOLED flexible screen, aspect ratio of 20:9, 1080P resolution. The upper and lower borders are close to the same width, and the left and right borders look narrower under the extension of the curved surface. The display quality of this screen is good, supports 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, 1.07 billion colors, and has a refresh rate of 144Hz, which can achieve dynamic adjustments of 60, 90, 120, and 144Hz to cope with different usage scenarios.
I have to say that with a weight of 188g and a thickness of 8.0mm, the feel is indeed very good in the current flagship market. I feel that ZTE is able to polish the feel, try to control the size and weight of the fuselage to an acceptable range, and improve the user's perception of use. This is a very obvious advantage and competitiveness in this generation of products.
Strong and impressive performance
Since it is named Ultra,That is naturally the ultimate "Ultra" on the hardware. This year's flagship machine comes standard with Snapdragon 888, LPDDR5 enhanced memory, multi-function NFC, UFS3.1 storage, and WiFi also supports the latest WiFi 6E. It can be seen that from the overall performance configuration, it is already the ceiling of the current market. Up. The memory fusion technology is also adopted, which can directly call 3GB from the idle memory into virtual running memory, increase the capacity of the memory, and enhance the ability of multi-tasking.
In the actual running test, this 8GB version of ZTE Axon30 Ultra can achieve a running score close to 82W, which is almost already When the bottleneck is reached, the performance of Snapdragon 888 is basically drained. After running for a round of separation, the heat of the whole machine body did not increase much, mainly because of the use of triple ice-sealed VC liquid cooling, 2880mm² super large VC liquid cooling heat plate, and high-power heat conduction. The gel, graphene copper-based composite material can quickly dissipate the heat from the key parts inside the fuselage and dissipate it around the fuselage, ensuring the stable output of the three major components.
For daily applications, the smart switch of screen refresh rate is turned on. ZTE's tuning is relatively conservative. In order to maximize battery life, many applications are suppressed to 90 frames, such as Weibo. Under the setting of intelligent switching refresh rate, the application can run to 90 frames on average, and the frame rate is stable. When the higher frame rate is turned on, it can stabilize at around 120 frames. The 90-frame refresh is actually smooth enough, and this adjustment of the screen is also acceptable, after all, more attention should be paid to the overall battery life.
The powerful performance coupled with the screen with the highest refresh rate currently on the market, the blessing of the game scene is naturally what most users pay attention to. ZTE naturally knows that users need to perceive this.Therefore, a lot of effort has been made in the game. In addition to network upgrades such as 5G and WIFI6E, linear motors have also been added to improve vibration feedback, stereo dual speakers, and upgrade the game scene.
Judging from the actual game scene test, ZTE Axon30 Ultra has a good experience, with continuous and stable performance output, which brings good support to the game experience. However, ZTE Axon30 Ultra currently does not support some high-frame games, and some are still at 60-frame experience. This is a pity for racing games that require smooth scenes. I tried the Peace Elite, and it can stabilize at around 60 frames under HDR image quality, the whole picture is smooth, the heat control of the machine is also done well, and there is no obvious hot feeling. The 4600mAh battery is equipped with 66W fast charge. Although it is a bit regretful that there is no wireless charging, the battery life experience and comprehensive feel performance are still worthy of recognition.
Thirty stand images
The three main cameras are the product upgrades that ZTE emphasized this time, and it is also the first mobile phone product to use three high-specification, high-resolution lenses at the same time. Let’s not talk about how well you control it, just because of the cost of materials, you can see that ZTE is going to fight. Thirty years of life not only represents ZTE’s thirty-year history of development, but also represents the image system composed of three main cameras. The 64-megapixel ultra-wide-angle main camera lens has a 120-degree ultra-wide-angle, and the edge image quality is optimized. 64 million pixel humanistic main camera, equivalent to 35mm focal length, 64 million pixel super-sensitive main camera lens, with F1.6 large aperture, Sony IMX686 sensor, OIS optical image stabilization . In addition, in order to increase the attractiveness of Ultra’s products, an 8-megapixel periscope lens was also added, and OIS optical image stabilization was supported.This imaging system covers the 13mm-123mm focal length shooting, covering the main daily use scenes.
From the performance of the proofs, the day and night imaging has improved significantly, white balance control is accurate, the picture is rich in detail, and the color reproduction adjustment is biased towards the hue that the naked eye likes. And thanks to the similar specifications of the three main cameras, when you call different cameras to shoot, you will not feel obvious picture jumps, the colors are cheap, and the overall tuning is good. Ultra-wide-angle, 1x, 2x, and 5x have good imaging performance. The overall white balance control is unified. The main color, background rendering and overall detail control are in place. With the help of the high resolution lens, it can Get a good texture.
On the system side, ZTE has added AI and smart HDR to it. It can be optimized in real time according to the specific scene when shooting photos and videos. When you shoot flowers, you can highlight the subject well. The background is blurred, the edges are processed naturally, and the details brought by the high resolution are visible to the naked eye. At the same time, the color of the whole picture is bright, which can give good picture feedback.
Thanks to the use of high-quality lenses, when shooting some objects at the telephoto end, high resolution and large aperture can also give very good help, the picture light control is very good, and the details are perfect . The following sample was taken at 5x zoom, and you can see that the details are very rich.
However, there are some imperfections. For example, when shooting with a 60x ultra-telephoto, there is no small picture that assists shooting like other manufacturers do. Although OIS optical protection is added shake,But shooting at the super telephoto end to get a good film is still a technical job. However, these can be added through subsequent system optimization and upgrades. I think ZTE can also add such functions in the future.
There are actually several more distinctive functions on the camera system, such as multi-shot. In this mode, 0.5x, 1x, and 5x are waiting at the same time, and you can get one by pressing the shutter button. Possess "all focal length photos". When viewing a photo, it exists in a photo, but you can preview photos with different focal lengths, and you can preview photos with a maximum of 20X zoom. It is true that you can take a picture first and then zoom. This function can also be used for shooting. When shooting, you need to choose three angles from the six lenses. There are front, 0.5X, 1X, 2X, 5X and 10X options. It is convenient to shoot videos with different angles of view, and the practicability is greatly enhanced.
Monochrome coloring is also my favorite. For example, it is used to take pictures of black and white road signs and characters, which is very immersive. Of course, ZTE has also added professional, panoramic, star trails, portrait long exposure, super moon and other functions, so I won't introduce them one by one. In terms of specifications alone, this is currently one of the best camera systems with integrated pixels at the rear. The performance is very stable, regardless of the lens, the edge picture, and the color can be well controlled. And ZTE has also made more adjustments for these lenses, enriching the functional experience.
Exposure Thanks to the high pixels, the entire aperture, the night scene, the performance of the night scene can be controlled well, and the high aperture is also well controlled. Without losing the details of the picture, the noise is well controlled. The four cameras that are not counted are naturally very friendly to video shooting.Not only can it guarantee high image quality, but it can also shoot high frame rate, anti-shake, shooting VLOG, HDR, movie mode, slow motion and time-lapse photography, etc. are all achievable.
Summary: Judging from the overall configuration and design of ZTE Axon30 Ultra, ZTE is indeed ready and aware of returning to the market. In addition to this Ultra, the Axon 30 Pro with Snapdragon 888+ dual 64 million main cameras was also released at the same time. The price is only 2998 yuan, which is extremely cost-effective. Seeing that ZTE is so active and desperate, especially seeing how drastically changing itself for the sake of young consumers, I know that its future performance will definitely be more eye-catching. ZTE Axon30 Ultra is a flagship machine with distinctive features, which is loved by those who love it.
