Brands and products that are seriously underestimated, stubborn and overvalued Nubian Z40 Pro annual flagship.

In the Android market in the first half of 2022, in the market environment where there is no leading brand influence in terms of products, a series of phenomena that violate the market rules, such as shrinking configuration, declining manufacturing technology and rising prices, have appeared in the flagship products of various manufacturers, and the mentality of manufacturers to cut leeks has been exposed. However, the market also gave domestic mobile phone manufacturers a loud slap in the face. In the first quarter, shipments of Xiaomi OV decreased by more than 30% year-on-year.

As far as products are concerned, there are few surprising products in the first half of 2022, and the flagships of most manufacturers are still in the stage of making dolls, or minor repairs and changes of products last year, or shrinking versions of products last year. This kind of industry environment makes Nubian Z40 Pro stand out somewhat among mediocre products.

Nubian Z40 Pro gives people a refreshing and distinctive feeling at first sight. At a time when the industry is full of rounded corners, Nubian Z40 Pro's square and regular shape and calm black bring users a completely different visual experience.

In fact, this is also the design style that Nubia has long adhered to. Under the overall style of Founder, look for a round feel at the border. The front is in a square frame, but the screen is round, but in the square and round, a very good aesthetic feeling is achieved.

The radians of the front panel and the back glass of Nubian Z40 Pro are designed into symmetrical structures, which makes the middle frame present the beauty of symmetrical order. The semicircular design of the upper and lower corners, combined with the concave design, also reflects a sense of agility.

The lens module on the back of Nubian Z40 Pro seems familiar at first glance. Some digital media said that the back of Nubian Z40 Pro copied the design of X70 Pro, but in fact, similar design first appeared on Nubian Z30 Pro. This model was released in May 20021year, and X70 series was released in September 20021year. Who borrowed it? It's just that Nubian's brand influence and current market are an order of magnitude worse than others, which is unknown.

As far as the aesthetic feeling of suspended window design is concerned, although several manufacturers have adopted similar designs, the design of Nubian Z40 Pro has shown completely different temperament and visual experience. On the premise that the overall tone of Nubian Z30 Pro remains unchanged, Nubian Z40 Pro highlights the 35mm lens featuring "humanity", which not only adds sapphire protective lenses to this lens, but also makes a relatively large red circular decorative line, and at the same time, the red "35mm" decorative word is printed on the right side, highlighting the "humanity" photography concept featured by Nubian Z40 Pro.

The back glass of Nubian Z40 Pro is frosted with AG technology, which is a very good design and has a visual aesthetic feeling, which is rare this year. Visually show a sense of high quality. At the same time, due to the proper handling of AG frosting process, there is basically no fingerprint on the back, and the leather belt is not cheap or rough when held, and it is smooth and has a little friction resistance, so it has a just right feeling when held.

As far as the design and manufacturing technology of Nubian Z40 Pro is concerned, Nubian Z40 Pro should be an excellent mobile phone in the first half of this year. Whether it is the personalized aesthetic design of appearance or the control and handling of details, it belongs to the first-class level, and the appearance characteristics also belong to the more comfortable design style.

In the heyday of ZTE's mobile phone, Nubia, as a sub-brand focusing on Internet users, is a kind of product with obvious style in the market, and its mobile phone camera function is also an independent product feature.

Some special techniques commonly used in mobile phone photography today, such as star track, "traffic" mode and "light painting" mode, are the first time that Nubia has brought traditional photography techniques to mobile phone photography.

The camera system of Nubian Z40 Pro is still equipped with a three-camera system this time. Of course, compared with the Z30 Pro's four-camera system, there are still traces of shrinkage, but compared with other manufacturers' modules, Nubian Z40 Pro's imaging system is still relatively kind.

The main camera of Nubian Z40 Pro adopts the exclusive customized Sony IMX 787,640 megapixels. The lens is equivalent to the focal length of a 35mm "humanistic" lens, with a super wide angle of 50 million pixels and a periscope camera with 5 times of 8 million pixels. The whole camera can achieve 9 times optical zoom (from wide angle to telephoto), and both the main camera and periscope telephoto have optical image stabilization.

Nubian Z40 Pro focuses on the concept of "portrait" in images, mainly due to its customized lens equivalent to 35mm. Users should be reminded that "humanistic" lens is different from "portrait" lens. In photography, the 35mm lens has indeed produced many classic works handed down from generation to generation. At the same time, many photographers only use 35mm lens to hang up, but the image field of 35mm lens is similar to that of human eyes, which is actually a difficult focus to grasp. For ordinary users, the picture taken with 35mm focal length is often mediocre.

For ordinary users, the unexpected gain of Nubian Z40 Pro in taking photos may be its telephoto macro, which is more practical than the wide-angle macro used by ordinary mobile phones. The telephoto macro of Nubian Z40 Pro can be used with a focal length of 35mm and a focal length of 125mm, and its closest focusing distance is about 20mm, which means that users can use Nubian Z40 Pro to shoot macro images with larger magnification. It is more valuable than the "microscope" introduced by some manufacturers in the past two years. Generally, the CMOS of microscope is only 2 million pixels, while the macro of Nubian Z40 Pro is either 64 million pixels or 8 million pixels with telephoto, and the image quality is not a little higher than that of the so-called "microscope".

The camera experience of Nubian mobile phones has always been biased towards interactive logic similar to SLR, and the focusing and exposure strategies are also quite different from other mobile phones. Nubian Z40 Pro inherits this tradition. Nubian Z40 Pro is a very useful tool for users who like to take meaningful photos.

In terms of performance parameters, Nubian Z40 Pro adopts the most mainstream flagship configuration at present. Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is equipped with UFS3. 1+LPDDR5 storage memory configuration. In view of the huge heat of 8 Gen 1 in Snapdragon, a space-grade micro-nano cavity graphene phase change temperature equalizing plate is equipped, with an area of over 35,000 square millimeters. It should be said that for suppressing Snapdragon 8 Gen 1,

On the screen side, Nubian Z40 Pro adopts a 6.67-inch Visionox AMOLED screen with a resolution of 2400X 1080 and a pixel brightness of 1000 nits per inch. It supports a color depth of 10bit and a color gamut of 100%DCI-P3. Judging from the actual perception, the quality of this screen is also the mainstream flagship level. With the improvement of domestic screen quality in recent years, the display quality of domestic screens is not worse than that of Samsung E5. In actual testing, they often have their own advantages and disadvantages in performance.

Nubian Z40 Pro Standard Edition is equipped with 5000mAh battery. With Nubian's relatively conservative performance release, it can be used without pressure for one day. In terms of battery life, it is above average in many Snapdragon 8th generation 1 mobile phones.

The UI of Nubian mobile phone is called MyOS. This time, the Nubian Z40 Pro is equipped with MyOS 12. Surprisingly, this version of MyOS provides a UI similar to Magic UI and OriginOS, which not only provides the function of directly opening large files (similar to HarmonyOS system folders), but also is "comparable" to the former two in terms of components, with obvious traces of "reference".

Compared with the previous MyOS, the fluency and stability of MyOS 12 have improved a lot. At least from the current use situation, except for the occasional instability of the game, its fluency and stability are at the first-class level in daily use scenarios.

In the performance test, Nubian Z40 Pro has single core 1236 and multi-core 3440 in Geekbench 5, which shows the normal performance of Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.

On the whole, Nubian Z40 Pro is an excellent product with elegant design, excellent production and outstanding image system personality among the flagship models listed in the first half of this year. The price starting from 3399 yuan shows full sincerity in the flagship products.
