Reviewer verdict

Across 12 YouTube reviews, the ZTE Axon 60 Ultra earns an Index score of 3.7/5, ranking #64 among Smartphones. Reviewers most often praise its camera, display, performance, while the most common criticisms concern camera, software.

The Axon 60 Ultra is widely praised for its cameras, display, and overall flagship performance. Reviewers frequently highlight the phone's multi‑64MP rear camera hardware, strong stabilization and good video capabilities (mentioned across many reviews), and the especially notable under‑display selfie camera and periscope telephoto in multiple comments. The large, high‑quality AMOLED screen and near‑seamless under‑screen experience are another common strength, with many reviewers calling the display one of the phone's top selling points. Reviewers also report solid battery life with fast wired charging and snappy day‑to‑day performance on a high‑end Snapdragon platform, making the phone feel like a complete flagship package to most testers.

Criticism centers mainly on camera consistency and software support rather than hardware quality. Numerous reviewers point out weaknesses with the under‑display/front selfie camera (blurriness, handling bright light poorly) and uneven image processing or inconsistent results across sensors, and several also found zoom/night/ultrawide performance variable. Software concerns appear often as well, with reviewers worrying about ZTE's update policy, a somewhat messy camera app and UI polish. Other repeated negatives include lack of wireless charging and some complaints about display behavior and speaker/audio tuning, though these are less frequently cited than camera and software issues.

Cons (118)

Camera (38)

when I first switch from another phone to the axon 40 Ultra I didn't feel very strongly about this under display camera ▶ ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Review: After 6 months (Experience) @ 1:01
finicky under display selfie cam ▶ The NEW Best Under-Display Camera! - ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Revie @ 7:09
cameras don't quite live up the ones on the galaxy s21 or the oneplus 9 pro ▶ ZTE Axon 30 Ultra Review @ 11:58
the picture quality of selfies ▶ ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Review: After 6 months (Experience) @ 1:57
when too much light hits the display there's a sort of refraction effect causing a bloom effect which looks like a fingerprint smudge on the lens and colors also get messed up pretty good ▶ The NEW Best Under-Display Camera! - ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Revie @ 4:44
image processing is not as refined as you'll find on other phones ▶ ZTE Axon 30 Ultra Review @ 12:09
night mode shots are okay but relying more on lowering the shutter speed to compensate for exposure which can lead to blurry shots instead of using better processing and image stacking ▶ The NEW Best Under-Display Camera! - ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Revie @ 6:28
photos from under display cameras look blurry ▶ The NEW Best Under-Display Camera! - ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Revie @ 4:35
portraits are a little sloppy and the color science is inconsistent between sensors ▶ ZTE Axon 30 Ultra Review @ 12:13
don't use portrait mode, it's not good ▶ The NEW Best Under-Display Camera! - ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Revie @ 5:20
this footage isn't impressive though the detail level doesn't seem much more than 4k and we're not fans of the rendition dynamic range is average too ▶ ZTE Axon 30 Ultra 5G review @ 7:44
you have a camera lens tucked behind an additional piece of glass and a whole bunch of pixels and display technology so you're still going to get that fuzzy hazy look from the viewfinder ▶ ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Unboxing - The Best Hidden Selfie Camera Y @ 5:30
the rendition isn't the most natural with some heavy sharpening visible at times ▶ ZTE Axon 30 Ultra 5G review @ 5:10
the colors are more saturated than the main cams though and you don't get out of focus on this camera ▶ ZTE Axon 30 Ultra 5G review @ 5:25
the image quality still just isn't that great ▶ ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Unboxing - The Best Hidden Selfie Camera Y @ 5:25
the results here can be kind of saturated in daylight conditions and a bit murky in lower light ▶ Best Phone Only Tech Nerds Know About? | Nubia Z60 Ultra Rev @ 10:46
when you move to low light situations then the ultra wide camera suffers quite a bit ▶ ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Review: Great Screen, Meh Cameras, Good Pr @ 6:05
if you're someone who loves taking selfies like you're one of those people who's instagram accounts it's just selfies everywhere then this is not the phone for you because the selfies captured here are below par compared to every other phone on the market ▶ ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Review: Great Screen, Meh Cameras, Good Pr @ 2:00
sadly like previous generations this still struggles to capture natural look and photos most of my selfies either look like here watercolors or just a fuzzy mess skin tones are usually blanched I've seen all kinds of lighting related mishaps and in Darker conditions it's frankly a bag of ass evacuations ▶ Best Phone Only Tech Nerds Know About? | Nubia Z60 Ultra Rev @ 11:51
those colors aren't exactly always a match for what you'll see with your peers ▶ Best Phone Only Tech Nerds Know About? | Nubia Z60 Ultra Rev @ 10:02
it's certainly no Samsung Galaxy s24 Ultra once you zoom in Beyond around sort of 10 to 15 times your photo will start to look rather fuzzy and the shooter is also often thrown off by strong light ▶ Best Phone Only Tech Nerds Know About? | Nubia Z60 Ultra Rev @ 11:05
the selfie camera it's ultimately going to be compromised like there's no way around it there's no way you can take a selfie picture like this and have it look as sharp as an unobstructed selfie like this ▶ ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Review: Great Screen, Meh Cameras, Good Pr @ 1:38
video performance unfortunately it's a little bit disappointing whether it's 4k 30 or 1080 30 even though this phone is ois you'll see that stabilization just isn't as fluid as any other flagship i've tested in 2022 ▶ ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Review: Great Screen, Meh Cameras, Good Pr @ 6:11
it maxes out a full HD resolution here there's certainly no 4K option that's for sure although frankly it would still look rather fuzzy and grainy even if there was ▶ Best Phone Only Tech Nerds Know About? | Nubia Z60 Ultra Rev @ 12:12
The f 2.4 aperture is a little bit slow so this ultra wide camera is pretty good during the day but night photos are quite soft ▶ ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Review: Great Screen, Meh Cameras, Good Pr @ 4:05
the selfie photos that you take with this on the screen cameras are definitely below par if you compared to any other normal selfie camera on the market ▶ ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Review: Great Screen, Meh Cameras, Good Pr @ 1:51
seriously how many camera modes do you need there are so many stacked on this thing ▶ Best Phone Only Tech Nerds Know About? | Nubia Z60 Ultra Rev @ 9:17
front camera is slightly noticeable upon close inspection, especially with a white display ▶ ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Unboxing: Under Display Camera! @ 5:56
front-facing camera quality is rough, doesn't handle light well ▶ ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Unboxing: Under Display Camera! @ 10:05
even 20 times zoom images look pretty bad so i would say this periscope zoom lens it's better than nothing but it's not that good definitely you know if you compare it to a galaxy s2 ultra this phone can zoom much much better ▶ ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Review: Great Screen, Meh Cameras, Good Pr @ 5:29
the processing feels a little underwhelming highlights are clipped and shadows tend to be crushed this combination leads to a lot of wonky photos ▶ A Galaxy S21 Rival: ZTE Axon 30 Ultra Review! @ 5:48
the color of the image its capture is very different from the wide angle and has medium quality ▶ ZTE AXON 40 ULTRA review | No notches!! @ 4:15
does not have good selfie camera in this price range and the image recording with the 60 megapixel camera under the selfie display of this phone have a lot of noise this is also a throw for selfie video recording i think it's because that this phone have under display camera ▶ ZTE AXON 40 ULTRA review | No notches!! @ 4:44
the cameras just fall short for me though ▶ A Galaxy S21 Rival: ZTE Axon 30 Ultra Review! @ 9:09
when it comes to videos i would say it's not at like samsung or iphone level but it is still useful ▶ ZTE Axon 30 Ultra - Real Day in The Life Review! @ 6:49
with challenging lighting the auto exposure can get a little wonky and jarring at times ▶ A Galaxy S21 Rival: ZTE Axon 30 Ultra Review! @ 6:31
i've been very lukewarm about the pictures taken with the back cameras ▶ A Galaxy S21 Rival: ZTE Axon 30 Ultra Review! @ 5:39

i know that's always a concern with zte devices and i hope they support this phone with a couple of years of major android updates but we'll see what happens i'm not always confident about that ▶ ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Unboxing - The Best Hidden Selfie Camera Y @ 8:28
no revolutionary new features stuffed away in my us ▶ Best Phone Only Tech Nerds Know About? | Nubia Z60 Ultra Rev @ 4:05
it's the software side of things that I didn't 100% get on with here despite the fact you've got the lack of crap wear and it doesn't mess around with the Android Shenanigans too much things are just a little bit buggy a little bit less fluid than I would have hoped got that messy camera app and everything to contend with as well and of course some of the tech isn't quite as premium as what you'll get on other smartphones ▶ Best Phone Only Tech Nerds Know About? | Nubia Z60 Ultra Rev @ 12:42
i wouldn't say the camera camera's the best i wouldn't say the software is the best ▶ ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Review: Great Screen, Meh Cameras, Good Pr @ 8:21
This doesn't quite look and feel as slick as just natural stock Android sadly ▶ Best Phone Only Tech Nerds Know About? | Nubia Z60 Ultra Rev @ 3:15
make sure you turn off the AI background control of your apps well certainly at the very least your messaging apps and anything where you actually want to receive notifications because if you leave the AI in charge then you just don't get anything ▶ Best Phone Only Tech Nerds Know About? | Nubia Z60 Ultra Rev @ 4:49
the Nubia camera app is a little bit messy there's lots of different toggles and settings and features buried away and they did have Watermark and turned on by default which is just bloody irritating ▶ Best Phone Only Tech Nerds Know About? | Nubia Z60 Ultra Rev @ 9:08
not quite as fluid as what you'll find on some other Androids but I think that's more down to the actual UI ▶ Best Phone Only Tech Nerds Know About? | Nubia Z60 Ultra Rev @ 7:09
some of the icons aren't the same shape ▶ A Galaxy S21 Rival: ZTE Axon 30 Ultra Review! @ 5:07
how often and timely those updates will be is anyone's guess ▶ A Galaxy S21 Rival: ZTE Axon 30 Ultra Review! @ 9:12

waterfall edges front and back with the curb display which isn't my preference ▶ The NEW Best Under-Display Camera! - ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Revie @ 0:30
little black dot on top speaker grill has no function ▶ The NEW Best Under-Display Camera! - ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Revie @ 1:06

it's not the lightest stainless phone around ▶ ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Review: Great Screen, Meh Cameras, Good Pr @ 3:24
that camera bump certainly sticks a farway out of the ass end of the Z 60 Ultra and adds a fair bit of extra chunk to this phone further bulken up something which was already prettyy substantially brick-like ▶ Best Phone Only Tech Nerds Know About? | Nubia Z60 Ultra Rev @ 2:16
this smartphone has got a serious heft ▶ Best Phone Only Tech Nerds Know About? | Nubia Z60 Ultra Rev @ 2:29
noticeable camera bump ▶ ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Unboxing: Under Display Camera! @ 2:45

Performance (11)

I hardly ever play games with the x140 ultra because it's a Snapdragon agent 1 chip not a plus gen1 ▶ ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Review: After 6 months (Experience) @ 2:09
every game I tested seems to be locked to 60 FPS ▶ The NEW Best Under-Display Camera! - ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Revie @ 3:44

some level of performance throttling taking place ▶ The NEW Best Under-Display Camera! - ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Revie @ 4:03
though not as fast as some competitors these days ▶ ZTE Axon 30 Ultra 5G review @ 4:28
as we were capped at 120 fps for supported games ▶ ZTE Axon 30 Ultra 5G review @ 1:31
we did notice some thermal throttling after prolonged heavy use ▶ ZTE Axon 30 Ultra 5G review @ 3:54
every now and then an app would suddenly decide to become completely unresponsive ▶ Best Phone Only Tech Nerds Know About? | Nubia Z60 Ultra Rev @ 4:36
I didn't see a perfect frame rate at all times on those top graphic settings ▶ Best Phone Only Tech Nerds Know About? | Nubia Z60 Ultra Rev @ 7:20
this phone does not support floating windows for apps so that means if you want to multitask the only way to multitask is going to split screen multitasking so that's it you can only split the screen you cannot have the app open in the floating window which i like to do and i'm able to do on just about every other android phone ▶ ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Review: Great Screen, Meh Cameras, Good Pr @ 7:53

there's not much for bass though ▶ ZTE Axon 30 Ultra 5G review @ 2:23
The axon 30 ultra doesn't have a headphone jack ▶ ZTE Axon 30 Ultra 5G review @ 2:10

Display (9)

it's not as adaptive as other flagship displays auto mode and settings tends to lock things at 90 hertz ▶ ZTE Axon 30 Ultra 5G review @ 1:21
colors aren't the most accurate by default but you can get them close if you fiddle with the color settings ▶ ZTE Axon 30 Ultra 5G review @ 1:53
decent but not outstanding max brightness for this class 550 nits with the slider and 200 nits in auto mode when in bright sun ▶ ZTE Axon 30 Ultra 5G review @ 1:44
don't expect much range when it comes to the refresh rate you can basically choose between 60 or 120 HZ otherwise have it dynamically swap between the two ▶ Best Phone Only Tech Nerds Know About? | Nubia Z60 Ultra Rev @ 6:00
I've seen a reasonable amount of shiness in My Week with the Nubia z60 Ultra ▶ Best Phone Only Tech Nerds Know About? | Nubia Z60 Ultra Rev @ 4:29
this is a 120 hertz panel but unfortunately i don't think refresh rate can dynamically adjust itself all the way between like 1 to 30 to 25 to 120 i think it's either 120 or 60 ▶ ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Review: Great Screen, Meh Cameras, Good Pr @ 6:50
it's not the brightest i've used ▶ A Galaxy S21 Rival: ZTE Axon 30 Ultra Review! @ 2:45

which is pretty average for this class and no surprise the battery life here is average as well ▶ ZTE Axon 30 Ultra 5G review @ 4:10
no wireless charging support which is a shame that's a feature you would expect from a smartphone even at this sort of lower end Flagship price point ▶ Best Phone Only Tech Nerds Know About? | Nubia Z60 Ultra Rev @ 8:40
if you're a real really heavy user though like you're out and about taking a lot of photos like constantly have with the screen on then i don't think this will last like more than eight hours at a time ▶ ZTE Axon 40 Ultra Review: Great Screen, Meh Cameras, Good Pr @ 7:12
