The Nubia V80 Pro suits everyday users who want a smooth 120Hz screen and bright daytime photos, but it lacks 5G and 4K video.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about ZTE V80 Pro

  • The 7.7 mm body is slim enough to slip into a jacket pocket.
  • A 120 Hz refresh rate keeps scrolling smooth.
  • 8 GB of RAM helps many apps stay open at once.
  • 256 GB of storage leaves room for large apps and photos.
  • 5G connection for faster mobile data.
  • Stereo speakers give fuller sound for video.

What customers don't like about ZTE V80 Pro

  • The 12 nm process makes heavy games slower than on newer chips.
  • No wireless charging, so the phone needs a cable every time.
  • At 166 mm tall and 79 mm wide, one-handed use is a stretch.
  • No optical zoom, so zoomed photos lose detail.

Verdict

The ZTE V80 Pro measures just 7.7 mm thick, and it slides into a jacket pocket without a bulge. The 6.75-inch screen runs at 120 Hz, so scrolling and games look smooth. It has 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage, which leaves room for big apps and a lot of photos. The phone supports 5G, and the stereo speakers make videos sound fuller than a single speaker would. The screen is covered with Corning Gorilla Glass 5, a tough, scratch-resistant type. The trade-off is the 12 nm chip, a step behind newer phones, so heavy gaming is not its strength. It suits someone who wants a slim phone with a big screen and plenty of storage and does not care about top speed.
