ZTE S30 Pro Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

ZTE S30 Pro - return to service

For a long time, the Chinese company ZTE has delighted its fans around the world with extremely high-quality and interesting smartphones in all price segments. For example, gamers, audiophiles, and ordinary users alike have made up legends about the Axon 7 model, and even before the V967s and Red Bull phones made a real revolution in the lower cost category. Unfortunately, litigation with the US government, sanctions and other kinds of countermeasures have noticeably crippled the activities of the once popular corporation. But it seems that all the problems are in the past for the company.

The appearance of the novelty is not only relevant, but also not devoid of original features. The block of four cameras has an unusual texture, the colors of the glass back panels are beautiful and memorable, the fingerprint scanner is built into the screen. The 6.67-inch AMOLED display is adorned with a 44-megapixel selfie camera, which will delight you with its framelessness. The main advantage of the AMOLED screen is the highest picture refresh rate at 144Hz , which enhances the smoothness of the reproduced content. But at the same time, one cannot fail to note the margin of brightness, excellent contrast and the resolution of the AMOLED panel at 2400x1080 pixels. As a result, we get a rich and lively image.

The technical characteristics are not so impressive, but most of the audience will like the Qualcomm Snapdragon 768G processor, 8GB of RAM and the Adreno 620 graphics adapter. The Android 11 interface is very fast, no problem with a lot of games, but really resource-intensive applications will only be playable with medium graphics presets (Genshin Impact, Fortnite). Other advantages of the chipset are support for 5G networks and good energy efficiency. Although the battery capacity does not set records, the 4200mAh battery is enough for 8-9 hours of active screen time. The issue of the volume of internal storage is also important today. 256GB of ROM practically completely eliminate the possible lack of memory.

The phablet does not disappoint with its photographic capabilities. So, the quartet of photo modules is endowed with a 64-megapixel main sensor, an 8-megapixel wide-angle lens and 2-megapixel cameras for macro and bokeh effect. Although there is no optical stabilization, the quality of the photo does not cause any particular complaints, even with evening and night shooting. Color reproduction is natural, detail is preserved. NFC contactless payments will be another incentive to purchase a device that is pleasant in all respects, without obvious flaws.
