ZTE unveils its first 5G smartphone

ZTE Corp unveiled its first 5G flagship smartphone at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on Monday as the Chinese telecom equipment and smartphone manufacturer seeks to gain a foothold in the 5G battlefield, which is likely to refuel the industry's growth amid its current market saturation.

Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 mobile platform along with the Snapdragon X50 5G modem and an artificial intelligence-powered performance engine, the ZTE Axon 10 Pro 5G supports sub-6G spectrum frequencies, enabling users to enjoy "extremely fast" video and gaming experiences.

The 6.47-inch smartphone also features AI capabilities, with AI functions being applied in its triplecamera, motion capture, scene recognition, portrait lighting adjustment and user behavior learning.
