ZTE Launches Axon 20 5G With World's First Under-Display Smartphone Camera

ZTE has unveiled its new Axon 20 5G smartphone featuring the world’s first under-display smartphone camera.

“ZTE Axon 20 5G marks the beginning of ZTE’s new product strategy,” said Mr. Ni Fei, President of ZTE Mobile Devices. “Smartphones will serve as our core area of product innovation. Meanwhile, we will also be committed to developing personal and family mobile broadband products, smart wearable devices, and other new products that enable a smart life seamlessly connected to 5G scenarios.”




ZTE says that the under-display camera was made possible by five core technologies, including special materials, dual-control chips, unique driver circuits, the special pixel matrix, and the in-house selfie algorithm.

To balance the performance of the display and the front camera, ZTE has adopted high transparency material that includes new organic and inorganic films, thereby improving the light input to the front camera. Moreover, a built-in independent dual-control chip and integrated driver circuits have been employed to enable the color synchronization between the front camera and the conventional display. Besides, the unique driver circuit layout design and precision miniaturization components have been used to avoid the interference, and restrain the impact on the front camera.

In addition, ZTE created a special matrix that can optimize pixels and improve the display consistency for a more natural transition.

The ZTE Axon 20 5G became available for pre-order in China starting September 1, 2020 for RMB 2,198. More details at the link below.
