nubia Z60S Pro Revew

Performance

nubia Z60S Pro is based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (SM8550-AB). Built after TSMC's 4nm process, this chipset houses an octa-core CPU comprising a single 3.2GHz Cortex-X3 core, two 2.8GHz Cortex-A715 cores, two 2.8GHz Cortex-A710 cores, and three 2.0GHz Cortex-A510 cores. The graphics department is handled by a 680MHz Qualcomm Adreno 740 GPU. The work of the chipset on the Z60S Pro is aided by the AI Spirit Rhinoceros Performance Engine. The nubia Z60S Pro arrives with 8GB/12GB/16GB of LPDDR5X quad-channel RAM clocked at 4266MHz. There are three UFS 4.0 storage options - 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB. The built-in memory cannot be expanded. We are reviewing a 12GB+256GB version. Of the 256GB on board the device, almost 235GB are free to use. The device is cooled down by a ten-layer 3D cooling system with an ultra-high conductive shielding layer. Our Z60S Pro scored 1,588,170 points on AnTuTu 10 - a result that corresponds to the average result of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 on this test. The Geekbench 6 single-core test scored 2,008 points and the multi-core one delivered 5,612 points, which is a little higher than average. Most of the 3D Mark Sling Shot tests maxed out as well as the Wild Life test. This device also excels in the Solar Bay tests (ray tracing scores) with 5,368 and 5,342 points on the Solar Bay and the Solar Bay Unlimited tests, respectively. We ran a CPU throttling test showing the smartphone throttles to 73% of its performance.
