HP Inc. today debuted its newest HP Spectre and HP Envy laptops built with the flexibility to create and live seamlessly in today’s hybrid world, which we have started to do.
With the last few years have seen the rise of the creator economy, introducing endless possibilities for people to pursue their passions as a part-time or full-time opportunity. Sixty-eight per cent of creators started or expanded their freelance business during the pandemic, with 98% of them monetising their content creation part-time. These hustlers need tools that allow them to collaborate with others easily as 56% of creators feel less engaged with the speaker if their video is turned off. And performance equals productivity, which is why 60% of creators prize performance in a computer.
“Creators aren’t just limited to professional photographers, designers, composers, and editors – everyone is a creator, collaborating with friends, family, and colleagues and creating from home, work, and all the places in between,” said Josephine Tan, Global Head, Consumer Personal Systems, HP Inc. “Today’s hybrid world requires a new perspective on what to create with, which is why HP is launching a diverse set of devices across its Spectre and Envy portfolios to enable creation without limitation.”

Bi-directional AI noise reduction, directional beamforming mics, and quad speakers for a superb sound experience during video or audio calls.
Network Booster for network bandwidth optimisation to reduce screen freezes and dropped calls.

Today ZTE has officially announced the launch of the Axon 40 Ultra, a masterpiece demonstrating an advanced upgrade in Under-Display Camera (UDC) technology and pioneering the technology of multi-camera computational photography. Equipped with the brand new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, the ZTE Axon 40 Ultra is “designed for the spectacular”, manifesting the ultimate form of a smartphone with excellence in all three aspects of screen, image, and performance.
New Generation UDC Technology Offers Spectacular Images In Every Glance
As the pioneer of Under-Display Camera technology, ZTE is continuously leading the evolution of the full-screen trend. Taking ZTE’s previous world-leading UDC products, the Axon 40 Ultra has achieved great innovative breakthroughs as the third-generation commercial product with the upgraded UDC technology. Moreover, with a fully integrated screen, the ZTE Axon 40 Ultra has managed to present the ultimate form of full screen.
For the Axon 40 Ultra, a 400PPI density has been applied to the UDC area of the screen while the whole screen is equipped with a blue diamond arrangement, presenting an even better visual integration effect; the industry-first independent pixel drive technology is also adapted to ensure that each pixel unit is driven by a separate pixel circuit, enabling an even clearer screen display. The circuit adopts distributed transparent wiring, which eliminates the aggregation of circuits on the edge of the screen of the UDC area, providing an even smoother image. Also, the UDC Pro screen display chip is further upgraded with the integration of the MRC algorithm upgrade, intelligent pixel enhancement, and intelligent display optimization technology to create a more accurate and synchronized display. With the newly upgraded flawless full screen, ZTE Axon 40 Ultra can provide an even more immersive experience and offer spectacular imagery at every glance.
Meanwhile, the front camera image quality has also been greatly improved. The ZTE Axon 40 Ultra is equipped with a 16-megapixel front UDC, which can reach up to a 2.24μm large pixel infusion effect, generating greater light sensitivity for the UDC area. The Selfie Algorithm 3.0 uses in-depth learning AI technology to reduce noise and is capable of real-time calibrations of images under different light environments such as intelligently defogging or using anti-glare, to greatly improve image clarity and transparency. Meanwhile, the Smart Makeup function can even further enhance the image quality of facial shots.
Flagship-level screen configuration creates even more excitement. ZTE Axon 40 Ultra is equipped with a 6.8-inch AMOLED large screen that supports 1116*2480 resolution FHD+, with a peak brightness up to 1500nit, 100% coverage of DCI-P3 wide colour gamut, 10bit colour depth, and 1.07 billion colours extreme display, delivering extreme colour effects and clarity. Also, this spectacular large screen fully supports 120Hz intelligent high refresh rate and 360Hz touch sampling rate. Additionally, the 1440Hz high-frequency Pulse-width modulation (PWM)dimming function can effectively reduce the screen flicker in dark scenes, which, in combination with the TUV Rheinland low-blue-light Eyesafe certification, provides ultra protection for eye protection.
Three-Primary-Camera Trinity System Offers Spectacular Shots at Every Angle
While the full screen allows users to “see the spectacle”, the primary cameras of the ZTE Axon 40 Ultra have been fully upgraded to a three-primary-camera “trinity” consisting of a 64-megapixel humanity camera, a 64-megapixel ultra-wide-angle primary camera, and a 64-megapixel periscope telephoto primary camera, which is the best triple-camera system in the industry. Fueled by multiple, exclusively powerful computing photography functions, the three-primary-camera system further enables ZTE Axon 40 Ultra to be the flagship smartphone to “capture spectacle”.
The 64-megapixel humanity primary camera and ultra-wide-angle primary camera are equipped with two Sony IMX787 sensors, introduced to the industry in the ZTE Axon 40. Such a setup can achieve dual full-pixel omnidirectional focusing, enabling focusing to be faster and more accurate. Specifically, the 64-megapixel humanity camera adopts a 35mm equivalent focal length, with a 7P lens and a large aperture of f/1.6, providing a hardware-level optical blur effect. The ultra-wide-angle primary camera adopts a 16mm equivalent focal length with a 4cm AF macro, combining both wide-angle and macro functions, to achieve an ultra-low distortion on the curved surface. The periscope telephoto primary camera adopts a 91mm equivalent focal length with a 5.7x optical zoom function from wide-angle to telephoto. Equipped with Steadicam-level full-system image stabilization, OIS optical image stabilization + EIS image stabilization enables great performance for every photo.
Computed photography is upgraded even further. Unlike other smartphones equipped with three primary cameras of the same pixel, the ZTE Axon 40 Ultra is the only smartphone in the industry that supports 8k ultra-high-definition recording.. It is also the only three-primary-camera smartphone in the industry equipped with a snapshot function, making it possible to capture objects in motion through its own Customized Adaptive Shutter Algorithm. Last but not least, the ZTE Axon 40 Ultra is the only three-primary-camera smartphone in the industry that supports preset focusing with all of the primary cameras, allowing users to manually preset the focusing distance before shooting, further reducing the focusing time.
Furthermore, the super night scene video function has been further enhanced. The unique AI videography algorithm can improve the brightness of the picture, enhance the resolution when shooting videos in dark areas, reduce noise, and truly restore colour information. Meanwhile, ZTE Axon 40 Ultra is equipped with multiple night sky photography feature modes such as Smart Moon, Star Photography Algorithm, and AI constellation, providing users with superior night photography. Alongside the humanistic image colour system, and rich humanistic filters such as Bresson black and white filter, film filter, etc., ZTE Axon 40 Ultra helps users to experience a ton of fun photo shooting with a variety of photography and videography scenarios.
Hardcore Performance and Magnificent Aesthetic Offers A Spectacle for Every Second
Designed for spectacular performance, ZTE Axon 40 Ultra is equipped with the flagship configuration of the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, UFS3.1, and LPDDR5 RAM. On top of this, this flagship device features VC liquid cooling technology for maximized performance. The total heat dissipation area of the nine-layer heat dissipation structure can reach 36,356 mm²; assisted by the new dual-channel enhanced VC liquid-cooled vaporizer, the thermal conductivity of the waterfall-type fast heat conduction design can be largely increased by 400%; the heat absorption ability of the Aerospace-grade micro-nano-cavity graphene phase-change vapour chamber has been increased by 140%, and its thermal conductivity is 300 times better than before, fueling ZTE Axon 40 Ultra for its quick heat dissipation and smooth performance.
For an even better gaming experience, ZTE Axon 40 Ultra is also equipped with Sn
