ZTE Axon 40 SE arrives with Unisoc T618


ZTE Axon 40 SE

ZTE has just introduced the ZTE Axon 40 SE in Mexico. The new device shares the Axon 40 series moniker, but it’s really far from these smartphones. It’s a budget smartphone with a modest Unisoc T618. It tries to compensate, but it’s more a device for less exigent people.

The ZTE Axon 40 SE flaunts a 6.67-inch AMOLED screen. Yes, it’s an AMOLED panel with Full HD+ resolution. The problem? It uses a 60 Hz refresh rate. Some would prefer a good IPS LCD with high-refresh-rate, but perhaps, those buying this phone will give more value to the vivid AMOLED colors. The device has a punch-hole in the middle and the renders show slim bezels. The final product’s appearance may be slightly different.

The ZTE Axon 40 SE also brings 4 GB RAM and has up to 128 GB of Internal Storage. As a good mid-ranger, the phone brings a micro SD card slot for further expansion.

Modest cameras

There is no ultrawide snapper, but that’s a common behavior in low-end phones. The punch-hole cutout serves as a home for the 8 MP selfie shooter.
