ZTE Android

The first commercially available phone with an under display camera title belongs to ZTE’s Axon 20 5G and given its already up for grabs globally, Zach form JerryRigEverything decided its time for his signature durability test.

As you’d expect the UD selfie cam gets its own breakdown before we proceed to the screen scratch test where the panel performs like any other glass display – it scratches at a level 6 on Mohs scale of hardness. The frame is made from plastic as Zach’s blade manages to chip some chunks clean off. The back and camera cutouts are both made from regular glass. The glossy finish is certainly mesmerizing to look at.

Another sensor that resides under the display is the optical fingerprint reader and even after scratches from a level 7 mineral pick it can still register unlocks with ease. A quick burn near the selfie cam area of the display messes with its hiding properties and leaves a more visible trail.

I can make most of the phones last 10 years, very easily. As I said, my OnePlus One works better than most of sub $200 phones of today. I'd rather spend time searching for a better, third party OS than to buy a new phone. There are no "more...
