I've had my phone for a week now. good phone, stock android with just a few Google apps. already got a new update yesterday, update notes say it improves battery, and a few other things.

Initial impressions:
- fast
- nice screen
- very nice build quality
- good camera
- nice software (global rom)
- everything just works so far. No issues
- good frequency support in NA. Supports all my bands.
- battery could be better but is not bad. Usually 2-3 days before I need to charge but my recorded screen on time isn't super high (I get around 7-8 hours on full charge)
- charges super fast
- speakers sound decent but need a bit more bass
- fingerprint reader isn't great. It works okay if you compare to older phones, but for similar gen and current gen phones it's just not great. They should have just stuck to a physical one if they wanted to cut corners.

Overall I'm pretty happy, got the 16/512 black model for only 540 CAD (375 usd), and seller declared value as 79 for customs so I didn't pay tax.

Wishlist for newer model:
- better battery. A lot of new silicon carbon battery models coming out. Sadly none for global market at this price range.
- better speakers.
- better fingerprint reader.
- maybe upgraded soc and camera to stay competitive? Personally I'm happy with these
- upgraded screen (I want something like the z70 ultra screen, it's nice)
- z50s pro aesthetic or similar. Imo z50s pro was a better looking phone.

    I haven't received mine yet, but here's some other cool stuff I found.
    So, it seems that you can use the USB-C port to output video. It also seems to support sideloading some apps from the Red Magic or Ultra variants.
    Out of the box, the RedMagic SmartCast Studio app "should" work with this phone, I saw a Japanese reviewer use it, running an app exclusively on the computer monitor by casting it over Wi-Fi, and using the phone's screen as a touchpad.
    "Maybe" it's possible to run an app exclusively on an external display over USB, but I don't know. This would be cool, I'd like to try plugging it into a pen display.

    To me it looks like for the most part ZTE is reusing the Z60 Ultra's software on this phone. Even the camera app doesn't seem like a stripped down version.

    I've been on the fence on whether to keep the Z60s Pro I bought once I get it, or just get the RedMagic 10 Pro instead. The Z70 Ultra is cool but not as big of an upgrade as the Red Magic in other areas, though maybe that means giving up on the cameras, pretty much. Realistically it's not worth it, but just entertaining the idea.

        g, 29 Nov 2024I just bought one on AliExpress for $375 for the 512GB mode... morewhere on aliexpress did you buy it i was planning to buy it too

          rahsan, 21 Oct 2024But some are saying that it will not get any android OS upd... moreIf might get like one major update, at some much later point but you shouldn't get this phone if android updates are a worry for you. Look at the OnePlus 12R (or the ace version), iqoo neo10, redmi k80, or realme neo 7 when ir comes out. These will all be around the same price. If you need global rom OnePlus 12r is basically your only option but has very good software support. If you don't mind flashing custom rom the redmi k80 will probably get xiaomi eu debloated roms soon enough, fixed to work like a global rom, just need to make sure it has the bands you need. The iqoo neo10 is the cheapest of the bunch and gives you a snapdragon 8 gen 3 phone for very very cheap, but there's no global rom and you would need to make sure it has the bands you need. For me I wanted good band support, build quality, large screen and global rom, so the only two options for me were OnePlus 12r and z60s pro. If the k80 had a bigger screen or the iqoo neo10 had global rom or good custom rom I would have rather went one of those but they don't. The nice camera is a nice bonus.

            g, 29 Nov 2024I just bought one on AliExpress for $375 for the 512GB mode... moreI also got the 16/512gb version for 375 USD, the 12/256 GB was only like 20-25 bucks cheaper for black version, and the cyan version was a little cheaper than that but I didn't like how it looks and it shipped a lot later.. This phone was on a really good deal for cybermonday and black Friday. Kind of a steal for what you get. Basically a last gen flagship for a third of the price.

              I just bought one on AliExpress for $375 for the 512GB model (the 256GB model is $40 less). I think it's a better deal in terms of camera and performance than anything at this price range, or even a bit higher.

                People said that the Oppo Find X7 Ultra review took way too long to make it into completion, with 52 days. Well, what about the nubia Z60S Pro, which has been in for review for 87 days and still no review? 💀

                  I got this machine for $390 as an upgrade to a Galaxy A50 I've had since 2019. I don't think there's a better new phone for that price.

                    CamoGeko-XDA, 21 Oct 2024It's a china phone, whenever updates get sent you get it.But some are saying that it will not get any android OS update, that's the worry for me. I need at least 3 major Android update.

                      rahsan, 19 Oct 2024Can anyone please tell me about it’s OS update policy?It's a china phone, whenever updates get sent you get it.

                        Can anyone please tell me about it’s OS update policy?

                          I read multiple reviews that the Z50S pro global version was full of bugs, unlike the Chinese version and it lacked some options like side bar.. Is the global version for the Z60S pro as buggy as Z50S pro?
