nubia has a new camera-centric phone with the Z50S Pro, which was just officially announced in China.
The new nubia Z50S Pro is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2 processor variant with a higher prime core clock at 3.36GHz. It’s attached to an enormous 4,233mm² vapor chamber to keep it cool. It can be had with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.
A beefy 6.78-inch AMOLED screen is on the front, complete with all the bells and whistles you’d expect from a proper flagship: 120Hz refresh rate, 1,000Hz touch sampling for high-precision gaming, 2160Hz PWM dimming, DCI-P3 coverage, and has 10-bit color.
nubia also threw in a relatively large 5,100mAh battery with 80W fast charging. nubia claims it can last for up o 37 hours of moderate use. Even a 5% charge can still provide up to 6 hours of juice if you enable the power-saving mode.
Now we talk about the device’s main highlight: the cameras. It boasts nubia’s 35mm lens for the primary shooter that utilizes a 50-megapixel sensor, with a bright f/1.6 aperture, and has optical image stabilization (OIS).
The circular glass island also holds the 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera with a 13mm lens, which also works as a macro snapper. A 16-megapixel sensor behind an 80mm telephoto lens is also here, complete with OIS.
Those who are in China can now get the nubia Z50S Pro for a starting price of CNY3,699 (~Php28,200). It’s available in three configurations: 12GB/256GB, 12GB/1TB, and 16GB/1TB. Per usual, release details in the global market are still known.
