The video begins with an unboxing and first impressions of the ZTE Axon 40 Ultra, highlighting a standout feature: the in-display front-facing camera that eliminates the traditional notch. The presenters discuss the box contents, including a notably hefty 65W charger and a Type-C to headphone adapter, and contrast the packaging experience with other premium phones. They then dive into the phone’s exterior, noting the large camera bump on the back and the absence of a visible selfie hole punch, which signals the third-generation under-display camera. Early on, they comment on the display quality, the premium build, and the feel of the device in hand, setting up expectations for camera performance and everyday usability. The segment also touches on the price ballpark around $799 USD, framing the Axon 40 Ultra as a competitive value in the flagship space. Finally, they outline what to expect from the camera system, including the 64 MP sensors on the rear cameras and the periscope telephoto, while teasing upcoming test results.
