Although Nubia is a niche brand, it is very ingenious in building mobile phones. Especially the flagship phone not only has great performance, but also the appearance is very in line with the public's aesthetics. Some time ago, Nubia released its latest flagship phone, the Nubia Z50. At the same time, the Nubia Z40 Pro also launched official downgrade mode. The current 12+256GB version has been reduced from 3,999 yuan when it was launched to 2,999 yuan, a price reduction of up to 1,000 yuan. So, is it worth it?
Nubia Z40 Pro is very business-like in appearance. The four small R corners make this phone visually square. Whether it is in interstellar black color or galaxy silver color, it is very fashionable and beautiful. As a flagship phone, the Nubia Z40 Pro’s body material is also very solid, with a metal middle frame + glass back cover. It is still very affordable at the price of 3,000 yuan. At the same time, the body of this phone is also controlled at 199g, with a thickness of 8.4mm. With a golden curvature of 72.5°, it is also very comfortable to hold.
On the front of the fuselage, the Nubia Z40 Pro is covered with a 6.67-inch OLED slightly curved screen. This screen not only has very narrow upper and lower borders, but also has a very small center hole, so it has a high screen-to-body ratio. Of course, in addition to the high screen-to-body ratio, the quality of this screen is also high. With 1.07 billion colors and 100% DCI-P3 wide color gamut, this phone has extremely excellent display colors. In addition, the machine also supports 144Hz high refresh rate, and every time you slide the screen, you can feel extremely smooth.
Images have always been a point of pride for Nubia, and the Z40 Pro is also excellent in terms of images. This phone uses a rear three-camera solution. The red one with a small red circle in the middle is the Sony custom sensor IMX787. The pixels of this lens are 64MP, and the equivalent focal length is 35mm. Therefore, it is very friendly to shoot people and can make them more beautiful and natural. In addition, the machine also has a 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens and an 8MP periscope telephoto lens. Together with the astronomical imaging system, you can shoot astronomical blockbusters easily without the need for professional photography skills.
Performance may be the biggest shortcoming of Nubia Z40 Pro! It’s not because the performance of this phone is not strong enough, it’s mainly because it is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 processor. This processor uses Samsung's 4nm process, which is very powerful in terms of performance and energy consumption, so it is overturned in terms of heat dissipation. Although the Nubia Z40 Pro incorporates an aerospace-grade micro-nano-cavity graphene vapor chamber with a total heat dissipation area of up to 35,000+mm², it is still somewhat stretched in the face of the powerful heat of Snapdragon 8 Gen1, and it still cannot change the heating phenomenon after long-term use.
The configuration of Nubia Z40 Pro is also unambiguous in terms of battery life. This phone has a built-in 5000mAh battery. The extra large battery not only allows the phone to last longer on standby, but also relieves our daily battery anxiety to a certain extent. In addition, this phone also supports 80W wired fast charging. It only takes less than 40 minutes to fully charge the 5000mAh battery, which is relatively fast overall.
At the price of 3,000 yuan, the Nubia Z40 Pro is actually very strong. This phone not only has a business-like appearance, but also has an extremely excellent imaging system, so if you consider these two aspects, it is still worth buying. Of course, this phone is also delayed by the processor. If you are more concerned about the heat of the phone, this phone may not be so fragrant.
