Editorial report

ZTE nubia Z30 Pro 16 GB / 512 GB / China technical sheet

The ZTE nubia Z30 Pro suits people who prioritize a fluid display and a versatile camera, though its battery capacity is lower than that of most phones of its time. This version pairs 8 GB of RAM with 256 GB of storage; the phone is also sold with 12 GB / 256 GB and 16 GB / 512 GB, and its storage is not expandable.

The 6.67″ AMOLED display runs at 144 Hz, a refresh rate among the best of its time. Its 90.9% screen-to-body ratio is also among the best. The camera combines 64 MP resolution with an f/1.6 aperture and 5x optical zoom: its resolution is better than most, while the aperture and zoom are among the best. Video recording includes 8K at 30 fps and 4K at 60 fps.

An AnTuTu result of 880,000 is among the best of its time, and connectivity is better than most. The 4,200 mAh battery has less capacity than most, while 120 W charging is among the fastest of its time. The phone has no Google Services and no direct OS updates. With an overall NeoScore of 6.9, it is a compelling fit for people looking for a standout display and camera who can accept the smaller battery capacity.
