In recent years, the trend of full-screen mobile phone can be said to be very obvious. Even if it is as stable as the iPhone, after testing the full screen of the iPhone X, it quickly entered the camp of giving up the traditional screen. However, with the increasing proportion of mobile phone screens, in order to put down the front camera, major manufacturers can say that they are trying their best to hide it. Some are Liu Haiping, some are digging holes, and some are directly equipped with lifting mechanisms. However, whether it is Liu Haiping or digging a hole screen, the whole picture has a sense of incompleteness. Although the lifting mechanism can create a full screen, the thickness and weight of the whole machine can't hold up, and the durability of mechanical lifting has to be worried. Therefore, the "off-screen camera" has always been the "black technology" that everyone expects. This time, after a long wait, ZTE Axon 20 5G finally went on the market and became the first mobile phone to mass-produce off-screen cameras. And it is a mid-range machine, and the price is very low. The price in the early 2000 s is quite "ok" for many waiting "obsessive-compulsive patients"!

However, what is the actual experience of the camera under the screen, and what is the comprehensive performance of this phone? Refuse inorganic evaluation, let's just open the box!

First of all, the silhouette of the figure on my package is Mr Darwin, the biologist who founded the theory of evolution. I remember a friend bought the version of Einstein and other celebrities, which was quite interesting.

At the top of the box is Darwin's famous saying, "It is not the strongest category that survives, but the category that is most adaptable to change." Moreover, the Chinese translation can be said to be very simple, that is, "survival of the fittest", suggesting that this ZTE Axon 20 5G is also a quality product that adapts to the market environment?

After opening the outer packaging, it is an inner packaging box with 20 as the main body, which indicates the product model of Axon Tianji 20 5G.

The first feeling after opening is that the back shell technology of Axon 20 is quite good. I didn't use a cheaper plan just because it wasn't flagship machine. My "black hole gravity" color scheme is mysterious, and there is a lighter "streamer sea salt" to choose from.

Stick a mobile phone case with good texture at random, and you can see that the back case will have colorful effects under different light, which is very amazing.

This mobile phone adopts AI four-camera system with 64 million main cameras as the core, and also has Vlog visual diary function, which supports 4K 60 fps video dual-channel anti-shake, and the configuration is still good.

In terms of design and materials, this slender fuselage design, combined with 3D curved back shell and rich and varied streamer texture effect, has a good overall sense of science and technology.

However, I said that no matter how many friends with back shells can't stand it, the biggest highlight of this mobile phone is definitely this 6.92-inch 10 bit organic light-emitting diode screen, and there are no holes or bangs. A complete screen.

Moreover, this screen also supports 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, plus a refresh rate of 90hz and a touch rate of 240hz, which is indeed a very strong configuration at this price.

Compared with my other mobile phone, you can see that the above (Axon 20) has a good visual impression; And there will be a certain foreign body feeling in the upper left corner of the bottom (hole-digging screen mobile phone). Although it is not obvious, it still affects the viewing experience.

Of course, as a mobile phone in the second half of 2020, 5G will naturally have to be supported. Moreover, ZTE itself is a big company with a great technical background in communication equipment. This time, hardware innovations such as PDS antenna technology and dual WiFi or dual-network overlay (5G+WiFi) technology are adopted, which makes the networking performance of the mobile phone an excellent level among products of the same level. And there is also a favorite high-speed rail mode, which will have a better experience when you get out of the elevator or in the basement.

In addition, in terms of charging and battery life, 4220mAh is used, which is quite good, and 30W is fast-charged. Although it is not the ultimate, it also has a good effect of charging 60% in 30 minutes. As a mid-range machine in the early 2000 yuan, this configuration is still possible.

It is also because of this good battery life and charging configuration that I usually open the refresh rate to 90Hz to get a smoother experience. Only when traveling on business or going out for a long time is inconvenient to charge, switch back to 60Hz to increase battery life.

Next, let's take a look at the photo performance of Axon 20. First of all, the self-contained multi-scene switching is still very complete, and there are relatively new camera modes such as VLOG and movie mode, which are good in playability.

Daily follow-up, the transparency and purity of the picture are still relatively good, and there is no exaggeration and distortion in wide angle, which is very enough to record life.

Moreover, the focus is more accurate. When aiming at the bark here, it is obvious that the background behind it is blurred.

Under the large aperture of AI blessing, the background blur will be further strengthened, but if we enlarge the details of this segmentation, we can still see some traces of AI algorithm. But if you just share a circle of friends, it is definitely no problem.

The shooting of indoor still life is also focused quickly, and the picture and color feel a little brighter.

It can be said that Axon 20 is definitely not the main camera phone, but as a mid-range machine blessed by an AI four-camera system, this performance is enough.

Finally, it is worth mentioning that this phone also supports DTS:X ultra-immersive 3D audio technology. Simply put, it is to simulate the effect of multidimensional surround sound through a set of DTS algorithms, similar to the concept of spatial audio recently introduced by Apple. Whether listening to songs or watching videos, the sound quality experience is also good.

Finally, everyone is more concerned about whether the camera under this screen is obvious. I specially looked at it from a bigger angle under the strong light, and I can really find this camera. It's just that ZTE's UI designer is very smart and integrates the theme design of the mobile phone with the whole structure. In addition, the current technology is relatively mature. If you don't try to find it, it's really not obvious. When we use and watch video every day, it is really much better than the traditional Liu Haiping and hole-digging screen.

Generally speaking, ZTE Axon 20 5G is a very distinctive mid-range machine, and this screen is undoubtedly very attractive. In fact, if some friends really have obsessive-compulsive disorder, they can't see Liu Haiping's hole-digging screen, and they don't have to worry about the lifting mechanism. This mobile phone is probably their dish. At the same time, for mainstream users, this set of 765G, AI four-shot, 4220mAh battery, 30W fast charging configuration is also enough for daily use, light and moderate games, as well as photo recording battery life, plus 5G blessing, in fact, the price is still relatively OK. Of course, whether it is worth it in the end depends on what is the core demand when you have more than 2,000 yuan in your hand. There are indeed many distinctive products in this range, and Axon 20 5G is one of them.

Ok, the above is about the experience of using this ZTE Axon 20 5G mobile phone. As the first production model with an off-screen camera, it is actually quite worthy of the price. I hope it will be helpful for your purchase. I am Shen Shao. See you next time!
