Announced alongside the Blade V10 during the 2019 Mobile World Congress, ZTE's Axon 10 Pro is one of the brand's most-ambitious smartphones as we were reviewing its pros and cons. That being said, we still caught a couple of slight drawbacks within its feature set, one of which is its 2340 x 1080 FHD+ resolution 
, seeing that a 2K-1440p sharpness would have made its otherwise expansive 6.47-inch waterdrop-notch AMOLED display more promising -- some of the best large-screen smartphones bluster with 1440p facades.
We also consider this Axon model's 256GB native memory capacity a slight con, given the fact that a few of its premium-class competitors start out with twice that capacity (512GB) -- its support for 2TB's worth of top-up memory 
, however, was an outright flagship pro around the time of this Phonerated analysis.
The Axon 10 Pro is offered in two specs configurations, namely, a 5G-enabled one boasting 5G network connectivity (n41/n78) and a 4G-only version with almost exactly the same features. Its hardware setup is led by the high-octane Qualcomm Snapdragon 2.84GHz + 2.42GHz + 1.8GHz triple-cluster eight-core processor paired up with either 8GB or 6GB of RAM -- get to know the fastest Android phones here. It feeds off a respectable 4000mAh battery that's enabled for both wireless charging and Qualcomm's Quick Charge 4+ wired charging technology.
Also part of its pros and cons is a highly-auspicious triple rear camera that's made up of a whopping 48-megapixel primary sensor, a 20-megapixel wide-angle cam offering with a 125-degree viewing angle, and an 8-megapixel telephoto cam for up-to-3x optical zooming. Its front-facing camera also sounds like it could go toe-to-toe versus those of the leading selfie-first smartphones on the market, coming in the form of a 20-megapixel f/2.0-aperture shooter , although we would have loved a front-facing LED flash to go along with it.
With the DTS:X Ultra audio technology and an in-screen fingerprint reader topping it off, the ZTE Axon 10 Pro caters to high-end smartphone shoppers in search of a phone that's all about connectivity, performance, and mobile photography.

Its Single 2.84GHz (+ Triple 2.42GHz + Quad 1.8GHz) processor speed running on 8 cores is part of the fastest in recent phones.

We're dealing with a hefty display here, making it a phablet: 6.5 (actual diagonal size is 6.47 inches), 5.0 inches and a resolution of 2340 x 1080 pixels means about 16.05 square inches and an image quality of at least 396.61 dots per inch (DPI)!
The Axon 10 Pro is one of the rare phones to feature a 48-megapixel (combined with a 20-megapixel wide-angle cam and an 8-megapixel telephoto cam) camera. It also sports these features: AI snapshot.
The 20-megapixel selfie cam offers an above-decent resolution.
