Editorial report
ZTE nubia Z40 Pro technical sheet
The ZTE nubia Z40 Pro suits buyers looking for a particularly smooth display, versatile cameras, and fast charging. Its key compromise is that it has no Google Services. This version pairs 8 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage; the phone is also sold in configurations ranging from 8 GB / 128 GB to 16 GB / 1 TB.
The 6.67-inch AMOLED display has a 144 Hz refresh rate and a 91% screen-to-body ratio; both are among the best of its time. Its AnTuTu score of 1,058,200 is also among the highest for phones launched around the same time. This configuration uses LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.
The 64 MP camera resolution is better than most phones of its time, while its f/1.7 aperture is among the brightest; it also has optical image stabilization. The telephoto camera adds 5x optical zoom, among the best of its time. The 5,000 mAh battery capacity is typical, while 80 W wired charging and 15 W wireless charging are among the best of the period. Overall, the nubia Z40 Pro is among the best phones of its time and earns a NeoScore of 7.5. It is a strong fit for buyers who prioritize the display, zoom, and charging and can do without Google Services.
