The ZTE Axon 10 Pro 5G is fast and sharp, but its weak low-light camera and fussy fingerprint sensor make the Xiaomi Mi 9 the better buy.

Verdict
The ZTE Axon 10 Pro is a very fast phone with two days of battery life, but its under-display fingerprint reader misses about every third unlock attempt.

Verdict
The ZTE Axon 10 Pro is a strong all-rounder with long battery life and a bright, high-contrast display, though its 3.5mm headphone jack needs an adapter.

Reviews last updated: November 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about ZTE Axon 10 Pro 5G (6GB + 128GB)

  • Excellent value for the price, often considered a 'budget flagship' or 'flagship killer' due to its core specs and affordable price point.
  • Speedy and powerful performance for daily use, gaming, and 4K video playback, thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor.
  • Great battery life, with a 4,000 mAh battery that can last a full day of heavy use or potentially two days with moderate use.
  • Good quality AMOLED display that is crisp, clear, and bright, with slim, curved bezels for an immersive viewing experience.
  • Inclusion of both wireless charging and expandable storage (microSD via second SIM slot), which were often missing in competitors' phones at a similar price.
  • Mostly untouched, near-stock Android software, offering a clean user interface and good user experience.
  • Premium look and feel with a glass back and metal band, despite being slippery.
  • Decent daytime photo quality, with crisp images and good color accuracy from the primary lens.
  • Useful camera functionality with triple rear lenses (main, telephoto, and ultra-wide), making it easy to capture different shots.

What customers don't like about ZTE Axon 10 Pro 5G (6GB + 128GB)

  • Subpar camera performance in low-light situations, with blurry photos, significant noise, and loss of detail.
  • Finicky and not always quick in-display fingerprint sensor.
  • Weak external speaker quality; described as tinny, shallow, and like a 'walkie-talkie'.
  • Curved edges of the screen lead to usability issues and accidental touches (palm rejection problems).
  • Limited carrier compatibility in the US, primarily working only on GSM networks like AT&T and T-Mobile, not CDMA networks like Verizon.
  • Software has some unpolished aspects and a dated look compared to other Android skins, lacking features like a system-wide dark theme.
  • Rear glass is a major fingerprint magnet.
  • Poor customer support and lack of consistent software updates; an official source confirmed no more updates as of May 2021.
  • Some users report a weak vibration motor and rattling buttons.

Verdict

The ZTE Axon 10 Pro 5G with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage is a 2019 flagship device with premium features for its time, including a powerful Snapdragon 855 processor, a 6.47-inch AMOLED display with an in-display fingerprint sensor, and a versatile 48MP triple-camera system. It boasts a large 4,000mAh battery with support for both 18W wired and wireless charging, alongside future-proof 5G connectivity. However, some compromises include a camera system that performs poorly in low light compared to competitors, a first-generation optical fingerprint reader that is inconsistent, and the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack.
