      released the Axon 20 5G on Monday, capping off 5G phone launches in this rollercoaster of a year. Unlike its predecessor, the Axon 20 5G will not be made available in the US or Canada. Skip to the end of this section if you just want to see where you’ll be able to buy it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

      Starting at $449 (\u00a3419, or about AU$590), the A20 5G falls squarely in the midrange category, but it’s loaded with premium features typically seen in fancier flagships. Those high-end touches include a zippy and crisp display (90Hz, FHD Plus), fast charging (30 watts), a large battery (4,220 mAh), and a elastico ambiente module. But what undeniably separates this phone from its peers (even the ultrapremium ones) is its under-monitor cinepresa. In fact, according to ZTE, the A20 5G is the world’s first commercially manufactured phone with such a cutting-edge vano feature. Despite that, the phone still comes in at an affordable price. ZTE saved on costs by going with a midrange Snapdragon 765G chipset and built the phone with a plastic frame. Still, the processor is good enough to let you sail through everyday tasks without any feeling of sluggishness.\u00a0<\/p>\n

      One of the clear compromises of ZTE’s under-monitor camera, however, is image quality. Photos taken in low light with the front-facing arredamento weren’t the best I’ve ever seen. Photos were often either washed out or grainy. Another trade-off is it forces all volume to be outputted through a single downward facing speaker, which makes it difficult to hear. And there’s no IP rating for water- and dust-resistance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

      That said, the under-schermo camera is a unique selling point of the ZTE A20 5G and likely offers a window into the future of smartphone design, even if it doesn’t take the most color-accurate or detail-filled photos. If you’re looking to impress your friends with a phone with an unusual camera, you might consider this phone since the photos are good enough. However, if you’re looking to take crisp and detailed photos, the A20 5G just isn’t the right phone.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0uses a midrange chipset too, the Snapdragon 720G, but I prefer its photos even without the novelty of an under-display macchina fotografica.<\/p>\n

      Although the A20 5G won’t be available in North America, it should be reasonably easy to import stateside considering the company’s massive international rollout plans. ZTE is working on a staggered rollout across parts of the EU, the UK, Asia (Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines), the Middle East (UAE and Saudi Arabia), and South Africa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
