Reviews for the ZTE Nubia Z50

ZTE Nubia Z50 Smartphone Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
The ZTE Nubia Z50 is an exceptional phone that offers powerful performance and good specs combination at a quite decent range. Plus, it covered a display, impressive refresh rate, faster processing speed, beautiful camera results, long-lasting battery life, good sound, and so on. These factors already make this phone attractive, while there’s no denying that the 128GB storage variant is a value-for-money deal. But like many ZTE phones, it’s not 100% possible that this device will appear on the global stage. Finally, if the device is not available in your country, check other alternatives. For a similar deal, we would suggest you go with the Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Explorer if you want amazing camera results and robust performance.

Qualcomm claims that it is 25% faster than the Adreno 730 in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and first benchmarks show that the GPU can beat the Apple A16 iGPU (previously the fastest smartphone GPU). 

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
