Tech Blog #102 | ZTE Nubia Z50S Pro - Another All-Rounder..

When a new flagship processor is released, Chinese Smartphone Manufacturers fight to release the first smartphone with that particular processor. Snapdragon's 8 Gen 2 processor was released a few months ago and now it's time for its plus version. And also, it's time for a Smartphone with that power.. introducing The ZTE Nubia Z50S Pro..

The smartphone's just 8.6 mm thick and weight of 228 g suggest a slim and relatively lightweight design, making it comfortable to hold and carry. The combination of glass front and back, along with the aluminum frame, provides a premium and durable build quality. The inclusion of an under-display optical fingerprint sensor enhances that premium feel.

The smartphone features a large 6.78-inch AMOLED display with vibrant 1B colors and a fast 120Hz refresh rate, making it ideal for smooth visual experiences. The screen delivers sharp and detailed content with a resolution of just over 1080P and a pixel density of 452 ppi. The display's peak brightness of 1200 nits ensures good visibility even under bright sunlight. The large screen size and high-quality display make it well-suited for multimedia consumption and gaming.

The ZTE Nubia Z50S Pro boasts a versatile camera setup that includes a powerful triple-camera system on the back. The primary camera features a high-resolution 50 MP sensor with PDAF, and OIS, ensuring excellent low-light performance and steady shots. The device also offers an 8 MP telephoto camera with 5X optical zoom capability for capturing distant subjects with clarity. Additionally, a 50 MP ultrawide camera with a 125-degree field of view allows users to capture landscapes and group photos. Since it features Autofocus, it could capture Macro shots too. At the front, there's a 16MP selfie cam with wide lens. The device supports 4K video recording, ensuring users can create high-quality videos but the front cam is capped at 1080P.

Under the hood, the ZTE nubia Z50S Pro is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2 chipset, featuring an octa-core CPU and Adreno 740 GPU with a clock speed of 719 MHz delivers excellent graphics performance, ensuring smooth gameplay and graphics-intensive tasks. With up to 16GB of RAM, and UFS4.0 storage up to 1TB makes this device a perfect choice.

The ZTE Nubia Z50S Pro is equipped with a sizable 5100mAh non-removable battery that should provide long-lasting usage on a single charge. The 80W wired charging support ensures rapid charging to quickly top up the battery when needed. But just as in ZTE Nubia Z50, it lacks wireless charging. The smartphone runs on the Android 13 operating system with the Nubia MyOS 13 user interface, offering a user-friendly and feature-rich software experience. But the main problem is software updates. I hope they provide software updates at least for 2 years.

With a price tag of about 460 EUR, the ZTE Nubia Z50S Pro offers competitive pricing considering its impressive features and specifications. It's hardware-wise the perfect smartphone. The problem is with the software. I hope they would improve the updating scheme of their flagship smartphones..
