nubia Z50 Smartphone

A top-class smartphone!

I am absolutely thrilled with the Nubia Z50.

Mega performance from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, which is one of the most powerful mobile processors on the market.

The Nubia Z50 smartphone features a 64-megapixel primary lens that focuses on achieving the best results in daylight and low-light conditions using advanced AI software while maintaining color, contrast and saturation with the image processing unit.

Subsequently, the main lens also supports optical image stabilization for clearer details and less interference. There's also a 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens that allows you to take brilliant, dynamic photos without much effort. In addition, the camera modules have a ring LED flash that improves photos in night mode.

An incredibly long-lasting battery

with 5000 mha promises power for the whole day.

Before receiving it, I didn't have high expectations because I had to receive the Chinese version, without the Italian language and all the Google applications to install.

Quick unboxing, I turn it on and surprise! Google APP already installed, therefore Play Store and all traditional applications and Italian language! It's all there!

I tried it 360 degrees and the notifications arrive in a few seconds, any application works apart from Android Auto. If you need this feature on your car, unfortunately (at least for me) it doesn't work.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 CPU is a missile and you immediately notice the speed at which applications open. Social media, bank applications, Whatsapp. A disarming speed and I have nothing else to add.

It supports up to 5G and has good reception, also WiFi 6, Bluetooth and GPS.

This is the 12-256GB RAM version and has very fast UFS 4.0.

The screen is another strong point! 6.67” AMOLED, 144Hz and it's really beautiful, with few frames and slightly curved. Unlocking under the display is not lightning fast and in any case it unlocks 8 times out of 10.

What did I notice right away? The Touchscreen! For being a TOP of the range it is unacceptable to have no sensitivity at the edges of the screen (in the curved part) and overall it is never precise. Touchscreen that has never satisfied me, although I will still use this smartphone for a long time.

The 5000mAh battery is exceptional and can last 2 full days with intense use. The system has restrictive…

Nubia phones are well-known for their powerful hardware and affordable pricing, as now the Z50 is no exception - equipped with powerful hardware, a good screen, and a BIG battery, it will serve most users’ needs.

Starting with the design...

The Nubia Z50 has adopted a smooth and clean-looking back, with nothing but glass (at least for my sample) and a dual camera setup. You must know that depending on the color option, you can go for a glass back (black version) or an eco-leather one (white version). Personally, I prefer the leather versions always, as it gives a nice premium feel to the owner of the phone.

The Nubia Z50 comes with a total height of 162.9 mm. The weight however comes to 199g. for the glass version which in my opinion is great, as it’s not feeling like a brick in your pocket.

On the right side of the phone, you have all the buttons – a volume rocker and a power button, as the last is presented in a nice-looking red color.

On the bottom, you will find one of the two stereo speakers, the sim tray which supports 2 sim cards, and the USB Type-C port 3,1, so you can transfer data to your laptop/PC at higher speeds.

However, I don’t see an IR blaster on the top of the phone, which in my case is a slight inconvenience.

The overall build quality and handling of the device are good, and I didn’t find any issues, inconsistencies, or something to bother me, except for the fact that if you use it without a protective case, it will be rocking on the table because…

I received the Nubia Z50 Smartphone about a week and a half ago to try for my honest review. The phone was shipped in perfect condition and actually had almost a full battery when I took it out of the box. The set up was very easy as the phone walked you through how to set it up. I did set the phone to English but a lot of the phone is still in a different language so there is quite a few things I still haven’t been able to do. I was able to download a few apps even though the App Store is in a different language. The phone actually came with a case and charger so I didn’t have to purchase anything extra. I would say my absolute favorite about this phone is the camera and video options. I have never seen a phone take such professional looking pictures. There are a lot of different photo options depending on where you’re taking pictures and how you want them to look. The same with the video too. If you’re wanting to take photos/videos at night, there’s a filter to make them look good. If you want to set it to portrait mode, there’s a filter to make it look more professional. Then after you take the photos, there’s so many ways to crop or edit the photo to get the exact look you want. I would recommend this phone especially for the camera on it. The photo I added of my Christmas tree doesn’t even do justice for hoe beautiful this picture looks and it’s just on normal camera mode. I didn’t edit it or use any of the filters.

I have been testing the Z50 out for just over a week now and I'm very impressed! Considering the price point, I thought it is fast and responsive. I like that its very customisable. The battery life is great and as someone who's a content creator, I was very pleased with the camera quality. I've recorded and edited my next Instagram reel using the Z50 and am extremely happy with the end result. I also love the fact it comes with a case too. One feature I would like to see is a option to add a voice assistant like Alexa. I've not been able to compare it to the pro or ultra but overall I can say I would be more than happy to have the Z50 as my main smartphone!
