Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Nubia this brand is not high-profile, do not like to compare with others, has been holding a down-to-earth state of mind to do product research and development. When the Nubian Z50 was officially released on December 19, CTOnews.com got the machine. I vaguely remember the shock brought to me by the Nubian Z9 borderless design, so can it surprise us again this time? Let's take a look.

Appearance and design Nubia Z50 has launched a total of three colors, White Island, Black Reef and Lantau, in which White Island and Black Reef are made of glass, while Lantau is made of plain leather. CTOnews.com got the Black Reef color match this time, and its design style is similar to that of last year's Z40 Pro, but has made a lot of optimizations and improvements in detail.

The Nubia Z50 uses the integrated hyperboloid design on the Z40 Pro, but it is more rounded in the radians of the four corners, resulting in a more comfortable grip. The top and bottom of the fuselage are flattened and a slightly concave design is adopted to make it feel better when holding the phone horizontally.

The Nubia Z50 weighs 199g and is thick 8.46mm, which is the normal level of the flagship phone, but the visual thinning of the hyperboloid rear shell makes people feel more thinner. Maybe this is Nubia's round design philosophy. Another design with a circle in the square is the lens module with high recognition.

First of all, the stepped camera layout of Nubia Z50 with small squares and circles makes the lens module look more hierarchical and weakens the sense of pressure caused by the lens bulge. Second, the number of shots in today's flagship mobile phones is increasing, and how to arrange shots, counteract "dense phobias" and clutter through decorative design has become the key to manufacturers' design.

The Nubia Z50 skillfully uses the method of "wrapping" a supplementary light around a lens and digging one less hole to achieve the effect of visual burden reduction. At the same time, the "big and small eye" lens ring, the lens parameter mark and the nubia Logo on the right are carefully arranged, and the density decreases successively from left to right, and the edge of one of the big-eye lenses is plated with Nubian classic red circles. The bottom bright decorative belt stretches across the left and right to the middle frame of the screen, officially known as the "double-shot cloud island design."

Then there is the technological treatment of the rear shell of the fuselage. The surface of the rear shell of Nubia Z50 feels smooth and warm, and under different angles of light, it will show a radial band of color light, just like the aurora on the starry sky in Antarctica at night. really colorful black. When the phone is turned upside down on the desktop, the iconic red power button on the left can be seen almost at a glance.

The front of the Nubia Z50, after all, does not escape the law of the flagship curved screen, the 6.67inch hyperboloid AMOLED screen, center punch design, resolution of 2400x1080, support 144Hz refresh rate and 360Hz touch sampling rate, UL eye protection certification. And this screen uses the domestic diamond arrangement scheme, the look and feel is exquisite.

In design, the upper and lower frame of Nubia Z50 is further narrowed, left and right full symmetry, high screen ratio, very safe design.

The pressing position and unlocking experience of fingerprints is also good, especially after you have experienced some phones that use short-focus fingerprint identification.

Configuration and performance as the flagship mobile phone released in December 2022, the second generation Snapdragon 85G mobile platform must be arranged. in addition, Nubia Z50 also offers up to 5 storage combinations to choose from this time. The specific parameters are as follows:

CPU: Qualcomm second generation Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 5G mobile platform, TSMC 4nm process

GPU: Qualcomm Adreno 740

Screen: 6.67in FHD+/144Hz (refresh) / 360Hz (touch) AMOLED hyperboloid screen, support DC dimming

Memory: 8GB\ 12GB\ 16GB LPDDR5x

Storage: 128GB / 256GB / 512GB / 1TB UFS4.0

Battery: 5000mAh rated capacity, 80W fast charge

Periphery: Wi-Fi6, Bluetooth 5.3 Hicopyright Fielding NFC Magi USB Type-C 3.1 interface, X-axis linear motor, stereo dual speakers; factory preinstalled MyOS 13 UI based on Android 13.

As can be seen from the configuration, the Nubian digital series has always been relatively stacked, so how does it actually perform? let's take a look at the actual measurement.

The Nubia Z50 scored 1.3 million in an Rabbit's 9.5.4 running score, which is also a good level in the second-generation Snapdragon 8 new machine currently released.

In GeekBench 5, the score of single core is 1497 and that of multi-core is 5000. The theoretical performance of CPU is also excellent.

In the read and write test of AndroBench, continuous reads reach 3568MB/s and continuous writes reach 2738MB/s, which is in line with the expected level.

From the theoretical point of view, the performance of the Nubia Z50 is really good, so how about its performance in practical use? Let's look directly at the actual measurement of the game. Since it is a flagship chip such as Snapdragon 8 Gen2, this time we directly choose the test software "Yuan Shen" with the largest pressure load, and the test project is the original Shen Sumi running chart test.

The test environment of the CTOnews.com is 25.6C at room temperature, the phone is turned on at 50% brightness and volume, and the Wi-Fi is connected to test. After entering the game, select the highest picture quality, 60 frames, turn off dynamic blur, and select the awakening mode in the game sidebar for 20 minutes.

From the above frame rate chart, the number of frames in the first 4 minutes of the game is very stable, and a small fluctuation begins to appear after 4 minutes, but the overall figure remains at more than 55 frames. The final average frame number of the 20-minute run chart is 58.2 frames. The highest temperature on the front of the phone is 42.6 degrees, and the maximum temperature on the back is 40.7 degrees.

At the same time, we also actually measured the endurance performance of Nubia Z50. Iqiyi used 6% to play a 53-minute online video (including the song at the end of the film), 10% for 30 minutes of original god games, 3% for Tik Tok for 30 minutes, 5% for 30 minutes on Taobao, 10% for 60 minutes for photography, 10% for 30 minutes for Weibo + online music listening to NetEYun music, and 9% for video calls. After four hours, the remaining power is 50%. This battery life result is quite surprising, especially the power consumption of TV series and short videos is really very low, and the power consumption of the original god game has obvious advantages compared with the models of the same price, which is beyond the expectation of the author.

System and image Nubia has always had its own set of things in mobile phone images, and it is also rich in ways to play. This time, in the promotion of the Nubia Z50 series, the official focus on some features, such as multi-channel spectral sensors and environmental sensing system, color restoration accuracy increased by 40%; hardware optical virtual, virtual effect is more natural; lower distortion, ultra-wide-angle macro two-in-one and so on.

Let's take a look at the lens parameters:

Main photo: customized 35mm equivalent focal length, Sony IMX787 sensor, 6400 million ultra-high pixels, F1.6 large aperture, support OIS optical anti-shake

Ultra-wide-angle ultra-macro two-in-one lens: 5000 megapixels, Samsung S5KJN1 sensor, 116 °wide viewing angle, support for 2cm macro shooting

Main sample sheet:

In the case of plenty of light during the day, the Nubia Z50 has a very good look and resolution, which well restores the appearance of the shooting scene. The details of the bright place are clear, and the dark part will not be roughly brightened.

When shooting brighter objects, the Nubian Z50 emphasizes the realism of color, does not deliberately increase contrast and saturation, and pleases the eye through rich hair colors.

2x zoom building, the resolution is still in place, in the face of this kind of light and dark contrast scene, Nubia Z50 will slightly improve the contrast of the picture to enhance the three-dimensional and realistic sense of light and shadow contrast.

When we zoom in to 5x zoom to shoot, the advantage of high pixel is obvious, the distant building is very natural, and there will not be smear and sharpening marks produced by the AI algorithm because the details are not in place.

Super wide-angle sample sheet:

Ultra-wide angle tends to show more things, but distortion is a problem. In this upside-down photo of "sitting on a well and watching the sky", the buildings and walls at the bottom are underexposed, while the sky at the top is easily overexposed. The Nubia Z50 adopts a compromise approach, which does not take care of the dark parts that are completely out of light, but slightly increases the brightness of the walls and glass parts, the mottled marks on the walls are clearly visible, and the picture is more transparent, and the sky at the top is not overexposed. In terms of anti-distortion, the editor is shooting askew, but the deformation of the building can hardly be seen in the film.

Food sample sheet:

Generally speaking, mobile phone manufacturers like to think carefully on sample sheets of food to make the look and feel more appetizing. Nubia Z50 has adopted a more realistic strategy. In addition to the "filter" bonus brought by ambient light, it will not be "beautiful" for food even if detected, and high saturation warriors may need to add their own filters.

Macro sample sheet:

In the macro part, CTOnews.com took a trial shot of a small hand. From the above picture, the overall production effect is surprising, hand-done color and texture restore well, like to show through the buyer "wife" of the tuhao, should be in great need of this function.

Sample portrait sheet:

The portrait taken with the customized 35mm equivalent focal length has a natural background and a clear outline of the edge of the character, and although the character will be beautified, the natural beauty effect still looks real.

Sample photo of the night shoot:

In the night scene part, we first compare the ordinary photography mode with the night scene shooting mode, and we can see that the effect is still obvious. in many places that are dead and black in the ordinary mode, the details are richer in the night scene mode, while in the bright part of the interior, the two pictures are exactly the same.

In the case of shooting the building against the sky, even the night scene has good resolution, there is no trace of smear, the color restoration of the light in the window is very accurate, and the sky part is very pure, without obvious noise.

In the streets with more street lights, Nubia Z50 still maintains a more real color, the picture is more sharp without smearing, the glare control of street lamps is also in place, there is no obvious ghost phenomenon.

The Nubia Z50 is also excellent in the capture experience. The newly upgraded Lightning capture 3.0, combined with the super-photosensitive focus function, can foolishly achieve the capture effect of photos and videos. In the photo, just turn on the automatic focus switch in the setting, and then directly take pictures of fast-moving objects. The actual effect is shown in the picture above. I asked my colleagues to throw out the paper plane, which was thrown very fast, but with the automatic focus and lightning capture of the photo function, the plane captured by pressing the shutter was very clear. There are no traces or remnants.

Video capture and super-photosensitive video focus are a little more complicated. In addition to turning on the automatic focus switch in the settings of the video shooting page, you need to double-click the high-speed moving object when the shooting begins, and the phase will lock the focus. Make sure that every frame of the captured video picture is clear. As shown in the picture above, this time I let my colleague drive down the slope at high speed on a balanced bike and capture him. After double-clicking the focus during the shooting, the focus frame is locked on my colleague all the time, so I don't have to worry about the film rate at all.

In the process of experience, the author also found two small details of the Nubian Z50 camera. First of all, the camera family menu on the far left of the camera home page provides a wealth of personalized games, such as shooting star orbits, light painting, multiple exposures, Lingbo microwalks, etc., although not everyone can often use it, but when needed, these functions often add fun to our recording life.

Among them, the Galaxy Super Night algorithm, as a new technology behind several signature functions in the Nubian camera family, has also been further upgraded this time. With the blessing of the Galaxy Super Night algorithm, the system will automatically identify the starry sky shooting scene and automatically adjust the shooting parameters. Just press the shutter, you can shoot the invincible starry sky, such as the starry orbit, starry sky and moon can be shot with one click. Novice users do a little research. Can get a good effect. Of course, in order to ensure the effect of the film, when shooting this kind of starry scenery, it is recommended to use a tripod to assist shooting.

Fine silver salt grain effect

Coarse silver salt grain effect

Next to the camera family, there is a separate function: humanities street photography. In the humanities street shoot, Nubia has set up two kinds of filters with film texture, fine silver salt and coarse silver salt, making the photos more mottled and hierarchical, and more smoky.

Fine silver salt + inspiration filter

Fine silver salt particles + cardiac filter

Coarse silver salt + meet filter

Because fine silver salt particles and coarse silver salt grains exist independently from color style filters, they can be superimposed with other color style filters, so the effect will be more sensible, and several signature color filters in the camera family are very tasty. I can see that Nubia is thinking.

The second detail is that when you click on the lower right corner of the shooting interface to enter the temporary preview of the photo, you only need to pinch the photo inward with both hands, and you will enter a quick preview mode, where the left and right horizontal strokes can quickly switch photos. Press and hold the picture to delete the photo, press and hold the picture to slide down to encrypt the photo, this small feature is simply too friendly to heavy photo users and obsessive-compulsive users. I hope competitors can copy it.

After summing up the short experience, I think Nubia is very willing to pile up materials on the flagship products, the design details are also very personalized, have their own thinking, and the overall performance of the hardware is very excellent.

In terms of software, MyOS gives me the impression that it has rich functions, but few advertisements, good system stability, high purity, and emphasis on image experience, such a balanced bucket machine, with a starting price of only 2999 yuan, is undoubtedly very cost-effective, so if you care about images and like products with balanced performance in all aspects, then you can consider getting Nubia Z50, the image flagship.
