nubia, seems to be gearing up for one of its big months of 2022. The company is preparing to introduce its new gaming smartphone called Nubia Red Magic 7, at the same time it is also preparing a new flagship for the "standard smartphone" segment called Nubia Z40 Pro.
The device comes with some upgrades in terms of performance as well as photography. Today, one of the leaders of ZTE, Lev Qianhao, shared some real performance results on Weibo, with a focus on sustainable performance.
Nubia Z40 Pro comes with an ultra-efficient cooling system
Under the hood of the phone will be a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset. This is not surprising as it is one of the biggest chipsets for the flagship segment in 2022. However, one of the main differences of the Nubia Z40 Pro is the cooling system.
An efficient cooling system can maintain performance for a longer time, and can also reduce or completely eliminate CPU throttling during long gaming sessions. Even though this is not a gaming smartphone, Nubia also wants to offer a decent gaming experience with its flagship. The CEO states that the phone doesn't even feel warm when running Genshin Impact at full power at 25ºC.
The Nubia Z40 Pro has apparently been nicknamed "The Frosty Dragon". The teasers mention the industry's first system that combines graphite and three-phase cooling. The focus is on maintaining stable performance for a long time with the help of a cooling system. Of course, this is not as active a solution as the old Red Magic smartphones, but it seems to be quite effective.
The leader also spoke about some of the characteristics of the camera system. The company is returning to the classics with a 35mm lens with a bright f/1.6 aperture and a custom Sony IMX 787 sensor, he said. The lens design reduces image distortion by about 35 percent. The focus is on bringing in more light and enhancing image clarity. Apparently, the sensor can collect more than 80 percent of the light.
In terms of autofocus, we also see an improvement thanks to a fancier autofocus solution in any direction. It's 70 percent more reliable.
At the moment, the launch of the device can be considered inevitable. The ZTE Mall online store already has a landing page for the Nubia Z40 Pro. It contains details on the exchange programs: users who send in an old smartphone will receive about 15% subsidy for the purchase of a new smartphone. In addition, they can also purchase a MyCare+ subscription or a pair of ZTE LiveBuds Pro TWS headsets for free.
