Chinese smartphone maker ZTE has beaten Samsung and other Android OEMs to the punch by announcing the first Snapdragon 865-powered smartphone. The company's latest flagship device, the Axon 10s Pro also happens to be the first to use LPDDR5 RAM.

ZTE Axon 10s Pro features a 6.47-inch FHD+ curved AMOLED display with a waterdrop notch at the top and an optical in-display fingerprint sensor. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset under its hood has been paired with up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB UFS 3.0 storage. As you would expect from a phone featuring the Snapdragon 865, the Axon 10s Pro comes with 5G as well as Wi-Fi 6 support.

At the back of the phone is a triple-lens camera setup with a 48MP main sensor, 8MP telephoto lens, and a 20MP ultra-wide lens. For selfies, it sports a 20MP camera within the waterdrop notch at the top of the screen. Keeping the lights on is a 4,000mAh battery with support for Qualcomm's Quick Charge 4+ standard. The flagship phone comes with stereo speakers as well, although a headphone jack is missing.

ZTE's new flagship will ship with Android 10 out of the box, featuring the MiFavor 10 skin on top. However, the company is yet to reveal precisely when the Axon 10s Pro will go on sale or how much it will cost.

  • Awesome specs, much better feature set than oneplus. Not to mention you can get one for way less, and not worry about your data/credit information being ripped off from the less than savory staff at oneplus.
  • I bought the 10 pro with 8gb of ram. I did my research and everything about this phone is true. It is a true flagship, without the flagship cost. With the 855 SOC, this phone flies. It features a beautiful amoled screen, 8 or 12gb ram, 256gb on board PLUS a micro sd slot, excellent camera with a 3 times optical zoom, wireless charging, a 4000mah battery that will easily get you through a day even if your a heavy user. It even has band 71 that is tmobiles 600mhz band. If your a stock android fan, you'll be happy to know that ZTE kept the Axon 10 pro at stock android with only 2 apps added, so you can skip buying an overpriced pixel, and be happy with this phone. There's so much more. so go on YouTube, read reviews. You'll be happy with this outstanding device. my feelings here are based on the ZTE axon 10 pro, not the 10s. I imagine that the 10s will be even faster.
  • Thanks for the hands on experience of the zte. They look really good.
