It seems that ZTE is making a comeback in the Philippines. They have already sent invites out to media and started a new ZTE Devices Philippines Facebook page. This time around, they will be launching their new flagship, the ZTE Axon 40 Ultra.
Launched globally last November 22, 2022, the Axon 40 Ultra is a setup up from its processor. It now comes with an under-the-display 16MP f/2.0 eliminating the need for a punch-hole in its 6.8-inch 2480 x 1116 120Hz AMOLED display.
ZTE is also packing the smartphone with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 with up to 16GB RAM and up to 1TB internal storage. There are three 64MP cameras at the back for its main lens, ultrawide, and periscope telephoto shooter. The first two is powered by a custom IMX 787 sensor and all three can record 8K video.
