Reviews for the ZTE Nubia Z50S Pro

84% nubia Z50S Pro review
Source: GSM Arena English
The long-lasting special formula for ZTE/nubia cameras scores points for the Z50S Pro as well - the 35mm primary is thoroughly great, be it in daylight or in the dark. Offering top quality at an unusual focal length (for a smartphone) is sure to attract a specific crowd that no one else really caters to with dedicated efforts. It's not all roses, though, and to keep costs down, Nubia went with a rather uninspiring telephoto camera; plus, the selfie unit isn't too amazing, either. Some of the choices surrounding the nubia's body don't quite work for us like the blocky design which made the phone awkward to handle, if admittedly attractive-looking. The lack of wireless charging and IP rating don't work in the Z50S Pro's favor either. And that slider, while a good idea, is limited in its functionality - at least in the software build of our review unit.

Qualcomm Adreno 740: Graphics chip for smartphones and tablets that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. 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.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


SD 8 Gen 2: High-end SoC for smartphones that was introduced in late 2022 with a fast prime core based on a ARM Cortex-X3 architecture clocked at up to 3.2 GHz. Two more performance cores are based on the A715 and also support only 64 bit applications. The two additional A710 cores support also 32 bit applications as do the power saving Cortex-A510 cores. In addition to the processor cores, the SoC integrates a WiFi 7 modem, a Hexagon DSP (for AI acceleration) and a Spectra ISP. The integrated memory controller supports fast LPDDR5x memory with up to 4,200 MHz. 5G is included in the chip with the Snapdragon X70 modem.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


6.78":

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.

ZTE:

ZTE is short for Zhong Xing Telecommunication Equipment Company Limited, which was founded in China in 1985 and is partly state-owned. ZTE's core business is wireless, optical transmission, data transmission equipment, telecommunications software and cell phones, USB sticks, routers and tablets.


83.33%: This rating is slightly above average, there are somewhat more devices with worse ratings. However, clear purchase recommendations look different.
