Last week’s poll shows that the ZTE nubia Z50S Pro has a lot of potential – some are holding off until they can see what this phone can do before making their mind up, but for the most part people love the new Pro. Its gaming-focused cousin, the Red Magic 8S Pro didn’t draw as much interest and that’s no surprise, it’s more of a niche phone. The nubia is an all-round powerhouse with a unique camera. It’s a bit odd then that the main criticism of the phone is about its cameras. First, some were unhappy with the downgrade on the telephoto module – it went from a 64MP 85mm camera on the...
The new nubia Z50S Pro is the second phone with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2, following the launch of the related Red Magic 8S Pro. This one is focused more on the camera than gaming, but there are a lot of similarities between the two as well. Starting with the camera, the 35mm lens is something you can only find on nubias and Axons – and on actual cameras. There is also an 80mm periscope on board (8MP) and a 50MP ultra wide (125°). The design evokes classic cameras with a mix of metal and leather (well, faux leather). The display is basically the same size as the Red Magic at 6.78” and...

While one ZTE team is preparing for the Red Magic 8S Pro launch tomorrow, their colleagues are working on the next camera flagship. Ni Fei, the President of ZTE Mobile Devices, posted an image of two camera modules – one belonging to an old ZTE phone and one to an upcoming model. Both modules are the same size (22.5 x 22mm), but one clearly has a much larger aperture.

According to a renowned tipster DIgital Chat Station, three Chinese tech giants, namely Huawei, ZTE and BOE, are teaming up to create the best foldable OLED screen with an under-display camera. The first phone to potentially benefit from the cutting-edge display tech is Huawei's future foldable Mate X4 smartphone. Sure, the Mate X4 won't be the first foldable smartphone with an under-screen selfie camera as Samsung's Galaxy Fold4 debuted with the said screen tech but it was far from ideal. The selfie camera is well-concealed, but it's severely lacking in the quality department. Well,...
ZTE’s booth at the MWC was among the more interesting ones – there we found the nubia Z50 flagship phone, but the company’s first 3D tablet also caught our eye, as did a pair of shades that actually creates a virtual 120" display. ZTE nubia Z50 The Ultra model was just announced, while the vanilla nubia Z50 was launched in mid-December in China.

This vanilla model is no slouch, it has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 inside and can be configured with up to 16GB of RAM and up to...

The device scored 5121 points in the multi-core test and 1494 in the single-core trial and both results are in line with other Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 devices we've tested. The good Geekbench scores also suggest that the device is out of the testing stage and it's ready to launch. Early engineering samples tend to underperform. Other than the chipset, the Geekbnech...
