Nubia Z50S Pro Review - Is This 35mm Camera Flagship Any Good?

[@alexbetrozov8442]

Love when company not fear to experiment with try to make some unique products. Remind me first years of mass cell phones. Nokia, Siemens, Ericsson, Samsung, LG with all their crazy ideas. Great review, thanks as always!

It's definitely a unique one for sure. nubia has been constantly delivering 35mm lens camera for years now, their consistency is impressive.

It's great to see something different in this space for sure.

[@abu-vai-sunny-vai]

Nubia produced wonderful devices but it stumbled after the US ban. Now they are coming again. I used Nubia z11 max in 2016 and I loved it. My mom is still using the same phone though I gave her Samsung A53. She loves 7 years old Nubia more than the latest Samsung 😅

[@sirsilva7079]

The ultra is amazing

[@666neloangelo666]

Yes, hard to find any good reviews of it, seems to get little coverage in the west. For some reason its not even listed on the official Chinese website of Nubia any more. Personally I can't stand any notches or cutout front cameras, floating islands etc. I think its so incredibly ugly, I gladly trade a worse selfie that I use once every month for that full uninterrupted screen. How's your experience so far, any issues with the UI or hardware in general?

[@stevejh2760]

@666neloangelo666 totally agree the flat full screen was exactly what I was looking for plus very little bloatware. I had the MI 11 ultra and feel the nubia system is better. I seem to get notifications quicker.

Nice review 👌 I have bought Z50 ultra for £515. But it was really confused between Z50,Z50s and Z50 ultra all three with top specs. Absolutely beast of phone.

[@Techtablets]

It is a bit confusing even I didn't know which to do for but in the need this was the lastest one. Great phone that could be some much better which some firmware updates.

[@Andrew_Lucky_]

you made a right choice! z50 Ultra is top among z50 series. I use Z50 Ultra since April and my experience is fantastic after I fine tuned the smartphone (because I know how to set up notifications in order NOT to miss them).

[@aozeiayo2800]

im currently using z50 ultra for me this is the best rear cam , thermals , and gaming , the only cons on this is the selfie cam but still great coz you will watching video and gaming on full display while z50s pro the thermals is not good for me it reach 42-43° while the z50 ultra it only reach 38-39° and if you stop gaming after 25-30sec the heat will gone

[@krunoslavmarkovic185]

@@Andrew_Lucky_ Can You share how to fine tune the smartphone?? Thanks!

[@alejoc]

Very good review, as always. I prefer ONLY flat screens, the reflections on the sides of curved screens not only are annoying but also anti ergonomic, it tires my eyes too much forcing them to refocus all the time.

[@Techtablets]

Agree with you on that and the colour shifting on the edges are also so annoying. I prefer flat screens.

[@motionoftheocean7524]

Actually, It is I, who Loves flat screens the most.

[@ILLUSIONIST1890]

curved screen looks beautiful, but its fragile and it broke easily, that's why i like flat screen over all.😊

[@lltechview]

Like this phone. MyOS surprised me with all the configurations it offers. Like gestures for turning on the flash light with the typical Motorola gesture. Customizability with Super Wallpaper like effects. Softwarewise impressed a bit as I did not expect this. 5G no issue in Germany, Cologne which is good. Cameras I am quite happy with the main cam. The ultrawide is a disappointment especially for photos. Washed out in RAW and overpunchy colours in JPG and bad lense basically with lots of distortion and softness to towards the edges. I did not expect anything from the telezoom but it surprised me aswell. Not bad for a 8 MP shooter at 80mm. They do some upscaling to 14 MP here. Really what got me hooked is the 35mm field of view and the default camera app which offers lots of settings and tweaks. Like for example 5 mins exposure time which I did not see on any other phone. For the bright colour clipping. Much better with Street mode and the Fujifilm filter

[@Techtablets]

Yes the main camera is really nice. Love the portraits of my kids it delivers. Good tip with the bright colours to stop the clipping using the street mode + filter. myOS has so much customisation more than I expected overall very good skin. Can you please run 3DMark wild life extreme stress test and see if it crashes and powers off the phone? My unit might be faulty.

[@lltechview]

@@Techtablets Yeah the test is running in loop 10/20 currently. I will post my update if it even finishes running. I think its overheating pretty much. The sides are very hot (back is ok to touch sides almost unbearble hot) Temperature here currently 24°C indoors (no AC) outside 30°C So could understand it overheating outdoors but should not do this indoors with reasonable temperature. Maybe taking off the case could help. Anyway for sure they need to optimize this a bit. In gaming however I did not experience such heat up yet. Even 4k video editing and rendering did not get so hot. Maybe it detects the benchmark and goes into "full turbo lets burn the hands of my user" mode 😅

I don't think there is a lot of interest these days on Chinese only phones. Its a great phone dont get me wrong, but there are always some sacrifices on the user experience. The competition is so strong now and if the spec is not extreme (I know this is edged to the cameras) I doubt anyone would have real interest buying it. Also it is very hard to resell especially here in the UK. Good review though. 👍

[@Techtablets]

Oh I agree and yes to the resell value. This whole video will be a loss, buying it to review then selling it for a low amount due to no interest.

[@ThePianist51]

Like always Nubia has great hardware, but longtime support is an absolute lackluster… 😅

[@sdrtcacgnrjrc]

Okay, 35mm is the lens's focal length (equivalent). Wasn't sure what phone cameras usually are -- i see my Pixel 6a main camera is 27mm (which is wider)

[@sdrtcacgnrjrc]

Was initially a bit confused cause regular film, and full-frame digital sensor are 35mm

[@Techtablets]

Yes most are 24mm-27mm, my S23 Ultra is 24mm much wider. Some people might be put off from the focal length coming from a Samsung or Apple.

13mm 125 degree up to 80mm 2.3X optical zoom is really giving variety choices to user. 4k 120fps is rare as well. nubia z50 had 8k macro video recording, hopefully this one also supports it as well. usb 3.1 with display out is great and usually not seen in phones below 800$. flicker option in usb debugging can help for some people's eyes strains. street mode is the one that their team optimized and with gcam shots that focused youtuber parikov Matvey on nubia phones released video, greater result were achieved. I had seen 1inch video released from their leaders in nubia team but if only they would've used 6000-7000mah, wireless charging, better thicker cooling system, 3,5 jack to compensate for the camera bump of 2cm and as a result, gives it less stick out on the whole package , I believe many users will have accept it as win solution and a unique phone to consider buying for years.

[@Techtablets]

That would be good to see, I really like what they have done here but the software especially cameras optimization's still need a lot of work.

This Nubia phone is really interesting, and in fact I prefer more flat displays over curved displays. The back of the phone is top. I really love this camera style finish. Specs are very good. Price is nice, for a flagship. Unfortunately those bugs with the camera are the main concern. To buy this phone, you need to be sure they fix such issues. The problem it's a Chinese phone and it's not for everyone to check on forums for software updates fixing these kind of bugs. A 1" sensor would be super cool, but then you also need a better zoom sensor, because a 8MP non periscope zoom sensor, is very poor, not to mention the poor quality of the front facing camera. There's not perfect phone, but if they only fixed those bugs, this phone could be very appealing for many, outside the Chinese market!

[@Techtablets]

Yes if they fixed the bugs, improved the front camera they could be really onto something with this 35mm lens, the whole style of it is really good. Some find the zoom camera is good. I don't really only at 80mm but anything over that it's poor.

@@govardhanposina17 Thanks for that info. Never tried a Sony phone personally

[@govardhanposina17]

@@eoin4597 yeah they basically ported over the mirrorless camera AF tech over to the phones, it's unreal, too bad the rest of the camera software is pretty undercooked, don't get me wrong, it's more manual controls oriented but it absolutely does not work out for a point and shoot setup which I believe most of us phone camera enthusiasts will need

Nubia Z50 PRO cost $530 usd in the Philippines while the standard Z50 only cost $390 usd I really hate it's curved glass. Both are applicable with a -$20 voucher.

[@ΦώτηςΠερσιμιτζής]

Is it comparable to Vivo x90 pro plus?

[@zerginho5]

I just bought the global version and the only thing that bothers me is the scroll speed. My past phone was a Poco X4 and I have been able to put them side to side performing some normal scroll and when the Z50s scrolls through a list of 7 videos, the Poco scrolls up to the double. I don't know if it is a thing with my phone in particular or is its normal behavior. Can you help me with this? Thank you

[@Bradacks2010]

You can change the scroll speed in the developer settings

[@chucknorris8704]

Does it support video out via its USB port?

[@lltechview]

Yes

[@bb063075]

Handsome looking phone especiall the back... The red accents are really nice.

[@Techtablets]

Yes I think this phone looks great. I would love to see improvements to the video software and selfie. Then it would be a keeper for me!

[@Sevapcici]

Please review the new Mate 60 Pro :D

[@markshumaker4135]

i bought it. its essentially the axon 30 ultra... minus 1 camera but all the same issues... paid $599 for the 12gb ram 1tb storage version $641 after tax. the audio quality is 100% better! the 30 ultra had noise canceling that was just god awful. big issue now for people is you CAN NOT SAVE SLOW MOTION VIDEOS ( just like the 30 ultra) you can slide the bars making your video all day long but there is no physical way to save it afterward .... this has been a thing zte has been doing a looong time now an they dont care about fixing it. it is a 12mp at that... im stuck still on xiaomi's 27/108mp cams cuz actual detail. 12mp is just outdated. the zoom lens for nightmode is bad... really bad 10 pics in a row an it just wont focus at all. if a leaf falls in front of you when your recording EVERYTHING behind it goes blurry like bokeh... its annoying even if it fell to the corner camera still focuses on it blurring everything else. screen recording is not good either... tried it 4 times an each one the audio doesnt match the video its 2 seconds behind at best 5 at worst . this is after the 1 update i got. interestingly with stabilization off you dont get 4k 60 its about 4k 52-4k 57 so it doesnt get ''that look'' to it you want. stabilization on it does get 4k60... it shouldnt because its cropped so frames are missing an looks the same as unstablized version . over all though its a pretty good phone even with other issues

Z60 Ultra? 1 inch type sensor and 35mm lens

[@lltechview]

Z50S Ultra prototype with 1 inch sensor exists. Lools like a mirrorless camera though. Thick

[@Techtablets]

Prototype looks interesting but yes it's huge that camera bump!

[@Kudarat08]

The screen gorilla glass or no?

Genshin now is a benchmark for testing a phone...

Was z50 available outside china? This one exactly the same

[@iAdventurs]

Nubia z50s Pro o Xiaomi 13?

[@diegobolanos3256]

Do these work on carriers in the United States

[@inobaebee]

If it global

[@Realplayman17]

can it use google camera 2.3? from 2014

[@Techtablets]

No

[@LC-sk2em]

yes,bilibili can help you

[@doomboy1721]

Hi. Does it supports 3rd party launchers ?

[@fractalawareness]

35mm main lens is a brilliant idea! But why not make it waterproof? I never buy a phone that could be damaged by water.

[@Techtablets]

Ip68 would be nice yes.

[@DSTWizz]

Great review as always, Chris- but if I just wanted a camera, I'd buy a camera instead of this gadget. I'd be doubtful of the longevity for starters. It's an interesting experiment nevertheless.

[@Techtablets]

Fair enough!

[@mohammadnaji7079]

A great effort on your part. Do Nubia phones have hidden applications?

[@Techtablets]

No they don't, why?
