While Samsung, Xiaomi, and OnePlus duke it out for the title of best Android phone so far in 2021, ZTE is gearing up to throw its hat in the ring. Evan Blass has shared a series of official press renders showing off the ZTE Axon 30 Ultra, which brings another enormous camera module to the conversation.
Claiming 200 megapixel megapixels, paired with a large 1/2.3″ sensor (from Panasonic), two finderscope lenses, a dual-LED flash with a flood-light, and an f/1.7 aperture, this camera looks like it'll be able to stand toe to toe with the best DSLR camera phones. That's a fair claim, considering the Photon 5a from Sony packs fewer megapixels (140-300 by default), and pricier (at $700 to $900 respectively), yet shoots similar results for roughly the same price. Usual caveats apply; the 8-megapixel unit ZTE is providing may not give the phone that proprietary camera hump, or by one pixel, but it's still a good argument for ZTE's flagship claiming a fraction of the megapixels and cutting-edge specifications of the competition.
The box and packaging aren't anything to write home about, but the beauty market-ready components are a nice touch – history suggests that a crisp, no-frills representation of the product should never be seen.
The Axon 30 Ultra will set you back $728 on AT&T and $720 on T-Mobile, same as the ZTE Axon 7. Stay tuned as we'll update you once we have one in our hands.
Why the 'Justice League' Movie is Moving From Phase 2 to Phase 5, and 5 to 8 (Less Than Four Years Away)
Justice League is known to streamline its slate of films ten years into a franchise, but it'll also have new characters and revisit older ones upon moving from the next to the next.
During the TCAs for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, director Zack Snyder revealed that the family's first film of the new slate of DC cinematic enterprises would be not a reboot but a sequel. When asked if the follow-up to Batman v Superman would be a stand-alone film like Man of Steel and its follow-up Justice League, Snyder held out the possibility that it could pivot in terms of where it's headed.
"Yeah. So it's not just like, 'Here's the next movie. It's gonna kick ass and then it's over," Snyder said. "It's gonna be... The Justice League mission is to continue to evolve. It's gonna become increasingly adult, deal with these great concepts of duty, compassion, and justice. That's just kind of the theme going forward." Having moved
