As scheduled, China Mobile launched the Nzone 50 Pro in China today. The latest smartphone from the country’s largest carrier is nothing but a tweaked Huawei Enjoy 50 Pro. 

For the uninitiated, Huawei has been developing phones for multiple telecom companies in its home country for years. But these devices no longer bear Huawei branding. Also, they offer 5G connectivity, unlike Huawei’s self-branded products.

The Nzone 50 Pro is almost the same as the Huawei Enjoy 50 Pro. Primarily, the two handsets only differ in terms of chipset and connectivity.

The original model houses an 8MP selfie camera and Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 chipset with 4G-only support. On the other hand, the new Nzone-branded variant is powered by a MediaTek Dimnensity 700 SoC and arrives with 5G support, NFC, and a 16MP front-facing camera.

Apart from the aforementioned dissimilarities and customized software, the two smartphones are one and the same.

Therefore, the Nzone 50 Pro comes with a 6.7-inch FHD+ (2388 x 1080 pixels) 90Hz centered punch-hole display (LCD), 50MP (wide) + 2MP (macro) + 2MP (depth) triple camera system, side-mounted fingerprint sensor, 3.5mm headphone jack, 5,000mAh battery, 40W wired fast charging support, 8.4mm thickness, and 195g weight.

The Nzone 50 Pro is priced at ¥1,799 ($260) and ¥1,999 ($289) for 8GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB memory configurations, respectively. It is already up for pre-order and will be available for purchase starting at 10:08 AM on September 2.

Just like this week, there won’t be many smartphone launches in the forthcoming one as well. We are only expecting two handsets. One of them will be announced for global markets, while the other one will be debuting exclusively in China.

The common aspect between these phones is limited availability. Though one of them will be a global product, it will be only available in a select few markets.

Further, both phones are unique in their own way. Let’s take a look at them one by one.

Upcoming Smartphones Next Week

Nzone 50 Pro

Nzone is a brand by China Mobile, which is China’s largest carrier. The phones under this brand are developed by Huawei.

The upcoming Nzone 50 Pro will be the latest model. It will be announced at 2:08 PM CST on August 29.

Rumors say that the device will be based on Huawei Enjoy 50 Pro. However, unlike the original handset, this one may have support for 5G connectivity.

It is expected to come with a 6.7-inch FHD+ 90Hz display, 50MP triple camera system, 5,000mAh battery, 40W wired fast charging support, and more.

Sony Xperia 5 IV

Sony has scheduled to announce a new smartphone on September 1. The event will be live-streamed on YouTube from 9 AM CEST.

The Japanese company hasn’t disclosed anything about this handset. But as per rumors, it could be Sony Xperia 5 IV, which was allegedly spotted on FCC recently.

The latest compact flagship smartphone from Sony is expected to arrive with a 6-inch 120Hz OLED display, Snapdragon 8/8+ Gen 1 SoC, triple camera setup, dual stereo speakers, 3.5mm headphone jack, and IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.

The post Upcoming Smartphones: Sony Xperia 5 IV and more appeared first on Gizmochina.

China’s largest carrier China Mobile is known for selling smartphones under a brand called Nzone. These devices are developed by Huawei. Hence, some of these handsets are rebadged or tweaked versions of existing Huawei phones.

The telecom giant is now expected to release a new smartphone as a mysterious model has appeared on TENAA. The listing of the device discloses most of its features.

First and foremost, the upcoming Nzone-branded handset will bear model number SP210. It will be powered by a chipset featuring a 2.2GHz octa-core CPU. The SoC will be paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB/256GB storage.

The phone will house a 50MP triple camera setup on the rear and a 16MP front-facing camera. It is listed to arrive with support for 10x optical zoom. However, we believe that it could be a  typo as Nzone smartphones are usually either budget or mid-range models.

Further, the device will sport a 6.7-inch IPS LCD screen with a resolution of 2388 x 1080 pixels (FHD+) and 16.7 million colors. Unsurprisingly, it will have support for 5G connectivity and will be backed by a 4,900mAh battery.

The handset will measure 163.29 x 74.7 x 8.372mm in dimensions and weigh 195g. It will be available in four colors, such as black, white, green, and blue.

China Mobile is yet to tease the arrival of the aforementioned smartphone. Hence, it is not known when the phone will be officially presented.

The NZone S7 5G has launched in China. It has arrived as a lower variant of the NZone S7 Pro, which was announced back in June 2021 by NZone, a sub-brand of China Mobile. While the Pro model was powered by the Dimensity 720 chipset, the NZone S7 is driven by the Dimensity 700. The S7 offers other features such as an HD+ display, 13-megapixel triple cameras, and a big battery.

NZone S7 specifications and features

To begin with, the NZone S7 has a 6.5-inch LCD panel with a teardrop notch. The screen offers an HD+ resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels, a 20:9 aspect ratio, and a 60Hz refresh rate.

The NZone S7 has an 8-megapixel camera for capturing selfies. The rear shell of the device has a square-shaped camera module, which includes a 13-megapixel primary snapper, a 2-megapixel macro camera, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor.

The Dimensity 700 powered S7 ships with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of built-in storage. It is backed by a 5,000mAh battery that supports 22.5W fast charging. The device offers other features like a rear-facing fingerprint scanner, a 3.5mm audio jack, a microSD card slot, dual SIM, 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and USB-C.

NZone S7 pricing and availability

The NZone S7 5G comes in 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage version only. The handset is priced at 1,699 Yuan (~$267), and its first sale will be carried out on Jan. 7 in China. It comes in colors like Green Mountain Emerald, Moonlight Silver, and Elegant Black.

In late November, a tipster hinted at the launch of a new NZONE-branded smartphone. A little over a month later, the company has now officially started teasing the release of this handset. So far, it has revealed the launch date, design, and charging speed.

China Mobile’s NZONE brand has scheduled to launch an NZONE S7 series phone with 5G connectivity on January 5. The device will be unveiled at 2:30 PM (local time) in China.

According to the teasers on Weibo, the smartphone will have a matrix camera array at the rear. The setup will include three sensors accompanied by an LED flash. The backside of the handset will also house a fingerprint sensor.

On the front, the phone will flaunt a display with a dewdrop notch. The bottom bezel will be slightly larger than the top one. Finally, the device will have support for 22.5W fast charging.

Going by the available information, the handset might not be a better version of NZONE S7 Pro, as tipped earlier. Instead, it could be a watered-down variant. Perhaps, it could go official as the vanilla NZONE S7.

Having said that, as we are still two days from the official announcement, we expect to learn even more about the smartphone.

At the end of June, China Mobile launched a budget 5G smartphone dubbed as NZONE S7 Pro 5G. For those unaware, this device is developed by Huawei for the Chinese carrier. According to a reliable tipster, the mobile network provider will be launching yet another model in the lineup next month.

As per 菊厂影业Fans, China’s largest carrier China Mobile will release a new NZONE S series smartphone in December. This handset is said to arrive with an improved set of specifications. Unfortunately, that’s all the tipster has to say.

We can expect this upcoming phone to be better than the NZONE S7 Pro from earlier this year. In case you do not know, S7 Pro sports an FHD+ 90Hz LCD panel with a punch-hole. It is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 720 chipset paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB/256GB storage.

It has a triple rear camera setup consisting of a 64MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultrawide unit, and a 2MP macro shooter. On the front, it houses a 16MP snapper for selfies and video calls.

Since its a budget model, it features a 3.5mm headphone jack, in addition to a USB Type-C port. The remaining features include a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, a 4,000mAh battery, and 40W fast charging.
