[PChome mobile channel evaluation]After entering the 5G era, ZTE is ready to do a big job and make a difference in the smartphone market again. From the new machine products that ZTE has created, you can actually see ZTE’s layout. From the high-end market to the mainstream market, ZTE has at least faced almost all mainstream users in its products.

The ZTE S30 series is undoubtedly ZTE’s sincere work for the mass user community. As the “big brother” in the ZTE S30 series, ZTE S30 Pro 5G has a comprehensive performance, good camera capabilities, and a slim design. , Very much in line with the actual requirements of current users for mobile phones.

So what is the experience of this ZTE S30 Pro 5G for mainstream users? Let’s comment on it after some actual use.

Slim and stylish design takes inspiration from the universe

The design of ZTE S30 Pro 5G pays great attention to the performance of slimness. The size of the whole machine is 163.575.27.8mm. The slim body effectively controls the width of the mobile phone and can be easily controlled with one hand. The thickness of 7.8mm is extremely thin, and the visual performance is very delicate.

In the construction of the main body, ZTE S30 Pro 5G uses the inspiration from the vast starry sky of the universe, and provides two different color versions of the starry sky illusion and the star sea. The color-matched version of the starry sky illusion in our hands uses black as the theme color, and the reflection of light follows the physical characteristics of nature, which makes it look like you are in the universe.

The essence of the back design of ZTE S30 Pro 5G lies in this matrix lens area. The center of the lens adopts nano-level parametric reconstruction textures, forming a nebula composed of hundreds of millions of “stars”, showing a unique shiny texture. . And this design echoes the black body, making the theme of the “universe” more detailed.

The ZTE S30 Pro 5G’s screen is quite top-notch. The 6.67-inch 20:9 slender ratio provides a large field of view.

In terms of screen shape, ZTE S30 Pro 5G uses the currently very popular center-mounted hole design, with a well-proportioned frame design, resulting in a high-screen ratio of up to 93.8%. This gives the machine excellent visual effects, and when it comes to visual effects, you have to say that it supports a high refresh rate of up to 144Hz. First of all, this high refresh rate is higher than that of ordinary flagship models, and the ultimate smooth display effect is smoother. Under the high refresh rate, ZTE S30 Pro 5G also pays great attention to the balance between smoothness and power consumption, so it also supports 60Hz/90Hz/120Hz refresh rate to balance battery life. Judging from our actual usage, in most cases, the 90Hz or 120Hz refresh rate can be used to enhance battery life. The 144Hz refresh rate is turned on in the game scene. After all, this refresh rate is indeed more power-consuming.

The design of ZTE S30 Pro 5G is undoubtedly novel. On the one hand, the entire mobile phone is a mainstream slim design that focuses on the market, and it has innovative performance in the creation of details. The high refresh rate screen with e-sports level has been pushed to the extreme visually. In general, ZTE S30 Pro 5G has a first-class design sense, and it is not stingy in materials.

Balanced performance performance, game, battery life, network experience all-round

The performance of ZTE S30 Pro 5G is good. The machine uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 768G mobile platform. This processor belongs to the sub-flagship Snapdragon 7 series and has many high-end technologies of the Snapdragon 8 series. The Snapdragon 768G is built with a 7nm process, and its architecture design is very similar to that of the Snapdragon 765G, but the processor has a higher frequency and overall performance. The main frequency of the super-large core has surged from 2.4GHz to 2.8GHz, bringing a 15% increase in CPU performance. Graphics performance also uses Adreno 620 GPU, under this premise Snapdragon 768G has a 15% performance improvement.

ZTE S30 Pro 5G performed well in various benchmark tests. AnTuTu’s evaluation score was close to 44W points, and its storage speed performance was in line with the overall specification positioning. Sufficient performance support makes ZTE S30 Pro 5G full of fast experience in all aspects of use, whether it is application opening, loading, and installation are extremely fast. Another thing to note is that ZTE S30 Pro 5G provides memory fusion technology, which can borrow part of ROM as RAM. Therefore, in fact, the machine has 8GB+3GB equivalent to 11GB of large memory, and 256GB of internal storage space can also allow us Want to take pictures and install apps.

The 3DMark Wild Life Stress test pays more attention to the overall stability of the mobile phone. The ZTE S30 Pro 5G performed extremely well during the 20-cycle test, and there was no processor frequency reduction due to heat. The temperature during the test did not exceed 35 degrees.

In terms of game performance, the ZTE S30 Pro 5G can run at 40 frames very stably under the HDR HD quality of “Peace Elite”, with good game stability and excellent heat control. Obviously, in national-level mass games, ZTE S30 Pro 5G can provide satisfactory performance support.

ZTE S30 Pro 5G provides all the network support of the operator. The 360-degree surround antenna design allows the antenna to be spread around the fuselage, and will not completely block the antenna during use. With the SRS four-antenna rotation and multi-antenna switching technology, the signal can continue. keep it steady. It also supports dual 5G and dual Wi-Fi functions, and automatically switches under the 5G networks of two different operators and two Wi-Fi signals, so that the network can be continuously connected when the signal fails. Here we also take a look at the test data. In terms of pure 5G network speed, the speed performance at fixed test locations is stable, and the Wi-Fi network also has a high degree of stability.

ZTE S30 Pro 5G still puts down a 4200mAh large-capacity battery under the slim design. The objective power is sufficient for a mainstream model, but our test found that after the 144Hz high refresh rate mode is turned on, it is indeed more power-consuming, and the power consumption of 5 hours of continuous testing reaches 58%. Therefore, you need to adjust the resolution in a timely manner during use. Perhaps it is a better choice to use the smart refresh rate mode to balance the battery life.
