ZTE has registered a flagship-grade mobile device with TENAA in China. However, it is not the Nubia Z40 Pro, the last device to launch with specs of its caliber: a fact that has led to rumors that the newer handset is the Axon 40 Pro instead. If so, it may be a third-gen under-display camera smartphone with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor.
