ZTE has been a leader in mobile technology when it comes to under-display camera solutions. We are eagerly expecting the Axon 40 smartphone which will introduce the third generation under-display camera solution, and an alleged live image just surfaced online.

A leakster uploaded a live photo of the front to Weibo. It revealed that the location where the camera is located is virtually indistinguishable with the rest of panel. Reports are the screen will have 1440p resolution (wrongly called 2K by some makers), which is a step further from the AMOLED of the Axon 30 and nubia Red Magic 7 Pro.

The display area that lies over the camera’s lens has been reorganized to create a seamless effect. Instead of the previous-gen panel, Full HD panels will have a higher pixel density.

The image shows that the AMOLED panel has extremely curving sides. These will hide the bezels to the left and the right. While the top is as slim as they come, the bottom one looks as skinny as possible. The new panel is also rumored to have PWM (pixel-width modulation) dimming.
