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.
