I am really confused. The Nubia z20 seems to have far superior specs to the Nubia x 5G. Snapdragon 855 plus vs. snapdragon 855, larger OLED display on the front vs. smaller LCD display on the front, and much better camera capabilities with the z20. Yet 5G is apparently not on Nubia z20 and instead on Nubia x 5G. Is the Nubia x 5G nubia’s flagship or not?

The photos come up identical to what you would get if you were to zoom and crop the 5x pics by yourself, "
    Furthermore I checked the sample images myself and there is no advantage over cropping.

Since the days of the cyber shots they have failed to come out with a decent phone. If they made a phone with a good 10x zoom decent pixel cam and xenon flash they would lead the race.

Furthermore it's nearly impossible to get more details with the main camera at base Iso. The main camera would need to be able to resolve 170 (!!!) megapixels in order to help the periscope camera. Furthermore diffraction has a higher impact on distant details of the main camera as the aperture diameter of the main camera is smaller.

                      The term Hybrid zoom is nothing else than a marketing term in this case.
                      Most reviewers didn't compare the details of Huawei's 10x hybrid zoom with the 5x setting or they compared it in a totally wrong way. They just said that the image quality is decent at 10x. But that's only the case because 2x digital zoom of the 5x setting looks decent.

There is no difference between conventional digital zoom and Huawei's hybrid zoom. It was different when they used a monochrome camera. But since they don't use a monochrome camera anymore, it's nothing else than digital zoom.

                                      Hello GSMArena, the highlighted statement about Axon 20 Pro (with 20x hybrid zoom) is linked to the same article again instead of the relevant article. Please correct.

                                        Even on my pro cameras I never used zoom, prime lenses all the way, so even on my little smartphone snapper zoom is never used, my galaxy kzoom had more optical zoom than x5 though I'm sure, I got that one as a gimmick and got bored within a week
