The nubia Z60S Professional is strikingly just like final yr’s Z50S Professional mannequin, so we centered on some key assessments to see if one thing modified.
The 2 units are mainly the identical. nubia launched some minor tweaks to the primary 35mm digicam of the telephone, with the Z60S Professional that includes a barely bigger sensor. The producer can also be including new AI options, together with Magic Eraser, a star sky algorithm and a 65:24 ultra-wide cinema format.
{Hardware}-wise, there’s simply one other comparatively small distinction between the 2 units – the chipset. It seems that for no matter motive, the newer Z60S Professional will get a barely older Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (the higher-clocked “AC” model) as an alternative of the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2 (once more “AC” model) contained in the Z50S Professional. The distinction between the 2 chips is comparatively minor and is usually restricted to the next GPU clock pace on the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2. This leads to some minor efficiency variations in favor of the Z50S Professional, which is nearly completely noticeable in artificial benchmarks.
Nonetheless, we had been additionally left questioning how the chipset swap would have an effect on battery life. The 2 telephones have the identical 5,100 mAh battery packs, which, mixed with the comparatively small chipset distinction and primarily an identical 6.8-inch 120Hz AMOLED shows, would recommend little or no distinction in Energetic Use Rating. Certainly, after some somewhat intensive concurrent battery testing on each telephones, simply to confirm our numbers, we discovered that the 2 have very comparable endurance.
Apparently sufficient, moreover having a slight efficiency edge, the older nubia Z50S Professional additionally has a slight benefit in battery endurance largely as a consequence of higher name instances. Maybe Qualcomm tweaked the modem’s conduct contained in the chipset a bit for the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2, or the tweaking was on nubia’s half. Regardless, the precise distinction in endurance numbers is somewhat insignificant.
