A couple of days ago, ZTE introduced its brand new flagship smartphone Nubia Z40S Pro. Planned development of the February flagship Nubia Z40 Pro.

Of course, we changed the chipset. The obsolete Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 has been replaced by the fresh Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. We expect more than a million points in AnTuTu. Naturally, there are some changes in the cooling system. She became even more edgy. Artificial diamonds and something else...

Memory. It's either just too much, or too much. From 8 to 18 GB operative, from 128 GB to 1 TB permanent. Card supportno memory expected.

The screen features are similar to those used in the February flagship. AMOLED, diagonal 6.67 "(107 cm²), resolution 1080x2400 (395 ppi). Huge refresh rate - up to 144 Hz. For games - that's it. And - a sudden victory of the forces of reason over the forces of good - the glass rounded from the sides was replaced with a normal flat one.

Battery. Everything is complicated here. The Z40S Pro will be available in two flavors. For normal people - with 5000mAh battery and 80W charging. And for fans of ultra-fast charging - a smaller capacity, 4600 mAh. But charging a�� 120 W (full charge time - 19 minutes). Wireless charging (15W) is only available in the faster charging version.

Cameras. From the front camera, as usual, the demand is low - 16 MP - and that's it.

The set of rear cameras seems to have remained unchanged. Just added a flicker suppression sensor.

There are three cameras. 64+50+8 MP. The main camera, wide-angle and telephoto periscope with a fivefold optical zoom. All but the width are equipped with optical stabilization.

Primary sensor Sony IMX787. Curiously, the focal length of the mainThe bullet is 35mm instead of the traditional 26mm. Which means that you will see the picture closer, larger. In fact, such a picture, if I understand correctly, is closer to what you see with your own eyes. But, on the other hand, less will fit into the frame. On the third hand, the wide-angle module here is also clearly quite serious. So as long as the lighting is good, there shouldn't be any problems. Zoom out, zoom in, do whatever you want.

Other. There is an NFC module, support for 5G networks, a sixth Wi-Fi. The fingerprint scanner is hidden under the screenearly. No standard audio output.
