The evolution of the front camera in phones is very interesting.
We start by putting them on the top edges because well
we had plenty of room, until then Appel put it in a notch.
A revolution that other brands copied, but then gradually improved
to create a single hole, although they also tested
with the Slider PopUp or a reversible rear camera,
but now it is located behind the screen.
And the main reason
of all this evolution has been to better to take advantage of the screen, which little by little
the edges have become smaller and smaller until reaching a point where
are nonexistent.
This ZTE Axon 40 Ultra has the third generation camera
underneath the screen and at first glance,
it's practically imperceptible, isn't it?
What in itself is already an evolution in relation to
to its previous version and much better than the first generation.
So we can say that the main advantage of having a hidden camera, is a
when it comes to consuming multimedia content, because that notch that you might have
there disappears completely, which is not so annoying anymore.
And for some people this advantage is enough.
Another advantage of this technology
is that it does not require any physical mechanism to operate.
Contrary to all these popup cameras popups that disappeared at a moment's notice
to the other, in the future,
I'm sure that more devices will have this type of cameras.
But right now, the only users who will want to use it
are the ones who don't take selfies.
What you're looking at right now is the quality of the front camera
before taking the picture, but when you take the picture
you can see how his post processing improves the scene a lot,
more noticeable in low light environments low luminosity
and also by the fact that it takes a few seconds to appear in the gallery.
The quality of this camera has improved a little bit in relation to its previous version,
but if we compare it with the of other phones, the difference is noticeable.
It is easy to look at these photos and conclude that they are very bad, isn't it?
But here I want to value the effort of the brand that
in less than two years has improved this technology this technology.
On Android, for example, when an application
starts using the camera, you will see a short animation
which in a way alerts you and also reminds you reminds you where the camera is.
In its previous version they also also showed the pixels when we were browsing.
by the system when making a call.
But now, as long as the camera is recording,
the system creates this upper black bar
that doesn't disappear even if you put a video in full screen.
I know this is the third generation of under-screen cameras,
but the only thing they have done
so far has been to hide it very well below the screen.
And if you ask me, well, I think they've have succeeded, so I hope
that from the next generation onwards they will start to value and care a little bit more
the quality of this front camera that I personally
I have avoided using literally.
Sometimes when I wanted to take a selfie, so I've picked up the phone and remembering
how bad the front camera is, so I change my mind and pick up another phone,
but let's see, this phone is much more than its front camera which is hidden.
So next I'm going to I'll tell you about the four points that I like the most.
I liked the most, starting with its performance, which is outstanding
thanks to Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and its 8 gigabytes of RAM.
During the use that I have given it for more than 10 days I have had no problems.
It also passed the throttling test easily and its connectivity to Wi-Fi
Well, it's very good.
The second aspect that I want to value is its big 5000mAh battery
but it easily gave me a day and a half of use. for a day and a half of use.
And also how could I forget its 65W fast charge.
The system has also been improving little by little and since I've had it
I have received about 4 or 5 updates, which is a bit rare,
but what I want to tell you is that the ZTE launcher
is not what you expected a few years ago with less junk apps,
some aesthetic changes but minimal so much in the top panel
and in the settings, as well as in some as in some system apps.
But in general the experience is much more
pure than much is expected from a ZTE.
And to finish, I also I want to mention its rear cameras,
which are some of the most interesting I have seen.
For this price we have a telephoto, the main sensor and the Ultra Wide,
all of these 64 megapixel sensors.
But the most interesting thing is that the main sensor has
a focal length of 35 millimeters,
as opposed to 26, which is which is the usual one,
which makes it perfect as a portrait lens.
And overall, believe me it's an exceptional camera.
The wide angle is also is good and works as a macro lens.
Whereas the telephoto.
It also comes with optical stabilization.
It is a very interesting phone for those people who want to
a camera below the screen and all these virtues that I mentioned.
But for more than 700€ I think that
they have fallen short in some sections, as in the lack of
of water resistance and it also lacks wireless charging.
Although what bothered me the most are the edges of the screen.
And here
you must understand that I personally I like screens with curved edges
like the Xiaomi 12 or the OnePlus 10 Pro, but the edges of this ZTE
are extreme, in such a way that makes it difficult to touch
and shows us some shadows when we see it from the side.
The screen itself is also good, but not as bright as I expected.
And the last thing I want to mention as a negative point
is the quality of its video mode not only of the front camera
which sucks as you might expect, but with the main sensor stabilization
has a rather strange effect that looks more like a TikTok looks more like a TikTok filter.
That said, the Action 40 Ultra has some pretty interesting points,
but in my opinion they have not been fully exploited.
You would expect that with the camera
underneath the screen they'd put a nice panel on it, you know?
To consume multimedia content,
but it's good, but not what you expect for this price.
And the usability with these extreme curved so extreme, it's not the best either.
And in the camera section I like them quite a bit for taking pictures,
but in video mode you would expect that with this processor and stabilization
stabilization would be great, but it's not.
This is why
that it is still a niche phone for people who don't people who don't take selfies.
I don't want to see any holes in the screen, look for a good battery
and also want something different in the camera section
with this 35 millimeter 35 millimeter if this is something you're looking for,
I'm sure you'll like it Subscribe and see you in the next one.
Bye Bye.
