Pros and Cons

ZTE AXON 50 5G

Strengths

The screen is great.
The performance is considerably good, possibly one of its strengths surprisingly.
The storage as it has 256 GB is undoubtedly another of the great advantages of this cell phone.
It will not be a cell phone that is going to fill easily because it does have a lot of internal space where you can store many photos many videos and even many games.
According to Pure visual calculations we could say that it was between 40 and 60 frames per second in the game although when recording the screen it doesn't look quite as fluid but honestly that you will indeed have a good experience running this type of content obviously with graphics and this quality suited to its price.
It seems a highly recommended purchase.
