It has an 8 gen 2 and is priced at 570 dollars. Getting an 8 gen 2 with 2 usable cameras is a huge thing imo.

The Poco F6 Pro has the same sized main cam with an 8MP UW cam and a 2 MP macro cam, same thing can be said of the Oneplus 12R.

If you're going to say the 8MP telephoto is bad what about those UW cams lol, Samsung still has a 10 MP telephoto cam and most people are fine with it. What that means is that a telephoto cam can be cheaped out on because it doesn't take a pic of a huge scene, it takes a shot of a small scene. So because of that, UW cams might look HORRIBLE at that size, but telephoto cams are more "acceptable". Look at the X80 Pro, its 5x was a 1/4.4" 8 MP cam, yet it's not as bad of a camera as the same sensor being on a UW cam. Judge the cam for yourself, GSMarena has the samples.

I think ZTE made a very sensible decision, they give you the choice of having a telephoto cam unlike let's say Nothing who don't have one at all. So let's say you just REALLY want to take a telephoto shot, you can do it.

Hope it makes sense.

      notafanboy, 18 Aug 20248MP tele... They are taking the piiss right? I'm sorry... moreI honestly don't get the purpose of implementing a smaller sensor for telephoto lenses. It's technically supposed to be the better lens of all cameras in a phone, isn't it?

      At the same time, Honor makes flagship chipset-based phones with decorative lenses, instead of a practical telephoto or ultrawide lens.

      If they need to make a compromise, they could've simply gone with the bill of materials, or smaller (but not feeble) lenses compared to the Ultra.

        notafanboy, 18 Aug 20248MP tele... They are taking the piiss right? I'm sorry... moreMany competitors though in this price segment are giving 8mp ultrawide and 2mp macro or just a 2x telephoto for those that do give the telephoto

            Nubia is best at two things: Camera and Gaming
            But it isn't much popular that other camera and gaming phones, why?

              8MP tele... They are taking the piiss right? I'm sorry but that's just unacceptable in 2024. I understand there must be a difference between the "Pro" and "Ultra" models but gimping the tele ain't it!

                In for review, in for review, in for review.... Man, every year seems to get busier with more and more smartphone releases. Y'all will need to merge with other smartphone review teams at this rate

                  Sounds a quite attractive deal especially considering this is snapdragon 8Sgen3 price range. Snapdragon 8gen2 is no slouch.
