China's ZTE has been bruised in the western markets since it got blacklisted by the U.S. government in 2018,Watch The Lion King Online but the company is still producing innovative smartphones.
Its next flagship smartphone, the ZTE Axon 20 5G, will be the first mass-produced 5G smartphone with an under-display camera according to ZTE. This means that the phone will be just screen on the front, with no notches or punch-hole selfie cameras to spoil the view.
