Third-party reviews

What we like about ZTE Nubia Z60S Pro (16GB + 1TB)

  • Excellent price-to-performance ratio, often described as a great value for a device with flagship-level features.
  • Powerful performance due to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, which handles most tasks and even intensive games (like CoD) smoothly, although some users report it can get warm.
  • Impressive main camera (50MP Sony IMX906 sensor) that takes stellar day photos with great detail and dynamic range, on par with more expensive flagships.
  • Long battery life that can last all day and potentially into the second day with moderate use.
  • Very fast 80W wired charging, with the charger included in the box, quickly topping up the 5000mAh battery.
  • Bright, colorful, and smooth 1.5K AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and good visibility in direct sunlight.
  • Near-stock Android 14 experience (MyOS 14) with minimal bloatware, which many users appreciate.
  • Solid build quality with a distinctive, industrial design featuring a glass back and metal sides, and IP68/IP69 dust and water resistance.
  • Dedicated physical camera shutter button/slider for quick access to the camera.
  • Haptic feedback is strong and precise.
  • IR blaster is included, allowing the phone to function as a remote control.

What we don't like about ZTE Nubia Z60S Pro (16GB + 1TB)

  • Subpar zoom and telephoto camera performance, with images becoming pixelated and blurry when zoomed in beyond certain limits.
  • Disappointing speaker quality, described by some as flat, tinny, and underwhelming, especially at high volumes.
  • Frustrating and inconsistent in-screen fingerprint scanner that often requires multiple attempts to work properly.
  • Questionable or limited software support, with Nubia only committing to up to three years of system updates, which is less than competitors.
  • Lack of wireless charging support.
  • Prone to overheating during intensive use like AAA gaming.
  • Ergonomic issues with physical button placement, as the volume rocker is positioned awkwardly above the power button, leading to accidental power-offs.
  • Aggressive HDR processing in photos, which can result in overly bright or unnatural colors.
  • Noticeable battery drain during standby time.
  • The phone is large and heavy, which may not be comfortable for all users.

Verdict

The ZTE Nubia Z60S Pro (16GB + 1TB) is a powerful, budget-friendly flagship smartphone featuring a 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a durable design. It is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and boasts a versatile triple camera system with 50MP main (OIS), 50MP ultrawide, and 8MP telephoto lenses, plus a substantial 5100mAh battery with 80W fast charging. Main pros include its excellent performance, impressive camera hardware (especially the 35mm main lens), generous bundled accessories (80W charger and case included), and near-stock Android software experience. Cons often cited by users are underwhelming speaker quality, a sometimes inconsistent in-screen fingerprint sensor, the lack of wireless charging, and potentially limited software update longevity compared to major brands.
