Some time ago we talked about the first device with an invisible camera under the screen. Today we can say that the project has gone ahead and that the ZTE Axon 20 5G is a reality. You can buy it now and it is special because it is the first on the market to offer this technology. It is too early to know if it will mark a before and after in the designs of smartphones, but something must start. The good thing about this device is that it is not too expensive and offers very interesting mid-range hardware.
ZTE Axon 20 5G, the first mobile with an invisible camera
There are many companies that are working on offering an under-screen camera device by 2021. The first to get it officially is ZTE. The Axon 20 5G can already be purchased in some markets around the world such as Europe. Its price is content for everything it offers and it has an all-screen design that you will like.
On the front there is nothing to talk about: it is a panel with reduced bezels and where you cannot find a notch or hole on the screen. The images reveal that the bottom bezel is slightly larger than the rest. Under the screen are housed the fingerprint sensor and the front camera.
Yes, ZTE has managed to place the front camera under the screen with a new technology that lets light through and allows not to lose too much quality when photographing. The latter will have to be checked when the device reaches our hands.
The back is quite simple and consists of glass with a reflection pattern and a large 4-sensor camera module. There is not much more to tell about this device, as it is a very simple terminal that stands out for having a full screen without notch or holes.
Features of the ZTE Axon 20 5G
The list of features is also very interesting, as this under-screen camera technology is not present in a high-end. The Axon 20 5G is a full-fledged mid-range, both in features and in price.

Yes, it is a fairly complete mid-range that comes with one of the most powerful processors of the moment. It has a decent screen, a good amount of RAM , a camera with a lot of versatility and a very interesting fast load. All of this adds up to the Axon 20 5G being the world’s first smartphone to offer an under-screen camera.
Price and opinions of the ZTE Axon 20 5G
This device is a fairly decent mid-range that comes with the plus of offering a unique design. It is not much different from a premium mid-range that has a pop-up camera, so you will not be the first to have a smartphone without a notch or hole in the screen.
The good news that encompasses this smartphone is that its price is content and therefore there will be users who consider their purchase. When a new technology is launched on the market, it usually arrives mounted on a high-end that is close to 1,000 euros/dollars, so it becomes a difficult project to recommend.
Things change when the terminal is a mid-range and can be purchased for 449 euros/dollars. Today it is officially announced and will be available for pre-sale shortly. We know that it is more expensive than the rest of the devices with this hardware, but you must bear in mind that it is a unique smartphone and with a technology that you will not find in any other device.
