Editorial report

ZTE S30 Pro 8 GB / 256 GB / China technical sheet

The ZTE S30 Pro suits buyers who prioritize a high-refresh display and fast wired charging; its main drawback is the lack of Google Services. The 6.67-inch AMOLED display refreshes at 144 Hz, among the best rates of phones launched around the same time. At 7.8 mm thick, the phone is also among the slimmest of its time.

This configuration pairs 8 GB of RAM with 256 GB of storage, more than most phones launched around the same time. It uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 768G, and the listed AnTuTu result is 360,000. Its 64 MP camera resolution is higher than that of most phone cameras of its time. Video recording includes 4K at 30 fps and 4K at 60 fps, but optical image stabilization is absent. Connectivity is better than that of most phones from the same period, with 5G, NFC, and dual-SIM support.

The 4,200 mAh battery capacity is typical for its time, while 55 W fast charging is better than what most phones launched around the same time offer. The operating system is Android 11, but the phone has no Google Services, a notable limitation for anyone who relies on them. Its overall NeoScore is 5.9. The S30 Pro is most compelling for buyers who want a particularly smooth display, generous storage, and powerful wired charging, provided that the absence of Google Services is acceptable.
