Is it a gaming phone or a camera one?

That flat frame design and slightly orange-ish colour reminds me of the Lumia 930 idky (discounting the gigantic camera hump akin to the Lumia 1020)

    Looking forward to this review specifically. Been looking to get a Nubia Z50S Pro since the price is incredible considering its specs, particularly the camera. There aren't any credible reviews from non-Chinese sources. So this is a welcome review.

            the ones sold through Nubia's EU store do come with the global version of the software that also supports Android auto.

                This doesn't look like it will ever be released outside of China though. And imported phones don't have Android auto support, for example, so pointless to even consider.

                  justasmile, 28 Nov 2023Don't even think of buying this one. ZTE just sucks in... moreYou know, it's much cheaper than other brands' smartphones in the same range and I should say software updates are indeed not for the best of the phone health if not done properly anyway. (Brands like Xiaomi have most of the time messed up their devices with updates) It's better than worse to not have a possibility to get a downgrade from your initial experience with out-of-the box software.

                    David 040882, 28 Nov 2023It hasn't been released yet so we can't know for sureBut Digital Chat Station never lies and his leaks were always on point: https://m.weibo.cn/detail/4972738625667638
                    Still an intriguing phone with 35 mm lens and 6000 mAh battery though and a bang for buck most probably too.

                        Still waiting for the update on A73 in South Africa

                          I had a chance to use this for half a day. What i like about it is that it has bypass charging and does not get very hot (sure a bit warm but cooler than not using the feature). I have not tried the 4k120 because i didnt know it has that feature. What i dont like about it is that when i took some videos, it doesnt swap its camera while for example when in ultrawide and tried zooming its just digital zoom, same as i tried from 1x to some amount of zoom. Im not sure if this has been fixed because it was about 2 months ago. It was just about 550usd when i purchased it for a colleague.

                            I really like the Lenovo Vibe esque two-tone finish on the back, but I prefer the bigger camera bump (and the bigger type-1 sensor) on the Z50 Ultra prototype more. The bump would be so obscenely large for a phone, but a case would mostly resolve it and it's still a lot more discrete than a compact camera like GR III or X100V because people simply don't frown at phone cameras as much as they do at dedicated cameras.

                                This is the company who spends so much to think of what innovations really mean. Unlike the greedy company (Apple) who always think of fooling their fanatics to earn more money of their boring designs for years and removing all the basics of the phone only to sell them separately.

                                  Don't even think of buying this one. ZTE just sucks in update support.

                                        unfortunately xioami has to make their phone look like an iphone. xioami had legendary phones like mi 3. but now their design has become subpar.
