The note 21 ultra clone you never expected what's up guys and today we're taking a look at the only note looking phone with the next generation hardware that has come out this year aka the zte exxon 30 ultra the only ultra phone that doesn't really take your kidney and it costs around 749 dollars it's got some pretty exciting features that could have made a note 21 ultra amazing if samsung decided to make it like a 144hz oled display seriously i've never seen that many refresh rate options on a phone sniper can triple eight on board with that amazing performance 65 watt fast charging there's definitely a lot to look at it again all for 7.49 that is cheaper than samsung's base galaxy s21 and by the way this is the first time in my life that i'm reviewing a zte phone and i've been making tech videos for like nine years so this is definitely an experience okay so design wise the main eye-catching thing about it is that they made it to look like a galaxy note phone they actually did a pretty good job we've got a nice matte finish minimal branding node style camera sensors with three 64-megapixel lenses along with 5x optical zoom and something that i haven't really seen with the camera lens before is that the lens itself displays aura glow colors it's like they put the samsung's aura glow color onto that camera bump now this one is made to look like a note phone not to be the actual note device because there is no s-pen slot so no s-pen but we do get very loud stereo speaker system we also get a super fast and reliable under skin fragment scanner now this phone has a 144hz 1080p oled display it's really sharp really nice colors and side by side next to the note phones it helds up really good i really like that companies are moving already beyond 120hz refresh rate 60hz refresh rate at this point feels extremely outdated thanks to snarebreak and aaa and this 144hz refresh rate this phone feels seriously smooth like i have not seen this phone lag even once amazing gaming performance and even with this high refresh rate the 4600 millibar battery inside this phone was able to handle stuff really well and of course not to forget that 65 watt fast charging if you do run out of the battery juice you'll be able to charge up really quickly now software wise we've got android 11 on board with ztes on my os skin i'm kind of surprised how decent the skin is like there is no bloatware at all we've got nice looking quick toggles that look a bit similar to the android 12. it's not feature packed like other android skins but it also doesn't have ads and it's a pretty soft experience there's a couple of cool software features that i like for example shake to turn off and on flash doing the triple finger swipe to take the screenshot one-handed mode which is really easy to initiate and something called z-pop which gives you this key that you're gonna assign custom actions to like bringing down the status bar if you have small hands overall i didn't feel the need to slap a launcher on the skin which means it's decent so far everything looks good until we come down to those cameras the camera hardware looks amazing but it could have performed better in reality if the software was on par we've got three 64-megapixel lens including wide ultrawide and zoom lens there's also a periscope lens that allows you to zoom up to 5x level and then all the way up to 60x that you also have the ability to take moonshots but they don't turn out that good unless you use a tripod the images outdoor are decent like colors and dynamic range could have been better we also get reasonable performance when it comes to those low light situations but in more challenging situations the performance does take a hit the night mode on this phone doesn't take as much time in similar situations as other flagships do so you do get noticeably more noise for videos you can shoot up to 8k 4k videos are fine you can shoot 4k 60 or 4k 30. but no 4k videos when it comes to the front camera you can only shoot up to 1080p also I got satisfying results with the front camera selfie performance you do get some extra fun modes like the long exposure mode pro mode with the raw ability vlog mode that has a couple of built-in presets overall the camera sounds impressive on paper but it definitely needs some software updates so to sum it all up for 749 dollars it is a good deal 144-hertz OLED screen snapdragon triple it 65 watts fast charging a good battery life it's got all the good stuff minus that camera sensor that needs some software updates that need some fixing hopefully they can improve the experience that's all. let me know your thoughts in the comments down below if you guys are new here be sure to subscribe and don't forget to follow me on my Instagram see you guys later peace out.
