ZTE A20 5G is thought to have been spotted on Chinese regulatory body TENAA's website and the listing comes with key specifications for the phone. While the TENAA listing does not mention the ZTE A20 5G name, it comes with model number ZTE A2121 that is believed to be the A20 5G. This phone is rumored to be the first with an under-screen camera, which would eliminate the need for a notch, hole-punch, or pop-up design. As per the TENAA listing, the ZTE A20 5G will come with up to 12GB of RAM and two colour options.

The rear camera setup includes a 64-megapixel primary sensor, accompanied by an 8-megapixel sensor and two 2 megapixel sensors. On the front, the ZTE A20 is said to carry a 32-megapixel sensor that may be hidden under the screen, making this phone the first to come with an under-screen camera.

The power and volume rockers are on the right side of the pone. There is no visible notch or hole-punch on the front panel. Interestingly, it has the Axon label on the back, which suggests the phone will launch with Axon branding and will likely be called the ZTE Axon A20 5G.
