After teasing for days, nubia, the sub-brand of ZTE, has officially launched the nubia Z40 Pro (NX701J) in China. The latest flagship smartphone from the company is the successor of the nubia Z30 Pro from last year. The device not only brings a new set of specs but also a revamped design. Let’s take a detailed look at it.
nubia Z40 Pro Specifications and Features
The nubia Z40 Pro sports a boxy design like the nubia Z30 Pro, however, its camera module is different. The new model only has three lenses placed vertically. Its predecessor has three sensors arranged in an L-shaped and a fourth sensor below them.
As far as the build is concerned, the phone features an AG (anti-glare) glass sandwich design with a metal frame. It measures 161.9 x 72.9 x 8.4mm in dimensions, weighs 199g, and comes in two colors (Interstellar Black, Galaxy). There’s also a special edition of this smartphone, which is themed after ‘The Outcast’ anime.
It flaunts a 6.67-inch curved OLD display with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels (FHD+), 395 PPI, and up to 144Hz refresh rate. The panel has a 20:9 aspect ratio and a centered punch-hole.
Further, the handset is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC paired with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. It boots MyOS 12 based on Android 12.
The device houses a triple camera setup on the rear consisting of a 64MP Sony IMX787 primary sensor with OIS, a 50MP 116° ultra-wide unit, and an 8MP 9x periscope shooter with OIS. For selfies and video calls, it uses a 16MP snapper.
Connectivity options on this phone include dual SIM, 5G, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, GNSS, NFC, and USB 3.1 Gen 1 (Type-C). It offers an in-display fingerprint sensor, dual stereo speakers with support for DTS:X Ultra, and an x-axis vibration motor.
Last but not least, the nubia Z40 Pro is backed by a 5,00mAh battery with support for 80W fast wired charging and 15W wireless charging. The handset also comes in a magnetic charging edition. It is the world’s first commercially available Android smartphone with a magnetic charging solution.
