Nubia Z40 Pro: The model with two of the first features in the smartphone industry

A new phone – Nubia Z40 Pro has been launched with two of the first industry firsts in the smartphone market. The phone succeeds last year’s Nubia Z30 Pro and is limited to the Chinese market for now. Here, we will talk about the specs, features, availability, and the expected price of the Nubia Z40 Pro in Nepal.

Nubia Z40 Pro Overview

Magnetic Charging

Nubia Z40 Pro is the first commercial Android phone with a magnetic charging capability with a special “Gravity Edition”. However, there have been some compromises in the Edition to blend in with the new technology. Where the regular Z40 Pro ships with a massive 5,000mAh battery cell with 80W charging capacity, the Gravity Edition is limited to a 4,800mAh battery at 66W.

Camera and Audio

Another industry first by Nubia is that there is a Sony IMX787 primary lens in the Z40 Pro. It is a 64MP sensor measuring 1/1.13-inches and 35mm in equivalency. There is a 4-in-1-pixel binning that shoots the 16MP pictures natively. It also supports PDAF and Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). Likewise, there is an 8MP periscope telephoto camera with PDAF, OIS, and 5x optical zoom support. Lastly, the setup is completed by a 50MP ultrawide sensor with a 116-degree field of view.

Over to the front, there is a center-aligned punch-hole cutout that holds the 16MP front-facing camera. It has an f/2.5 aperture and can shoot stable videos whose resolution is yet to be disclosed. For audio, there is a loudspeaker system with stereo speakers that tunes out 24-bit/192kHz audio. Unfortunately, there is no 3.5mm headphone jack for music and calls.

Display and Design

Nubia Z40 Pro comes with a 6.67-inch AMOLED panel with Full HD+ resolution and a 10-bit display. It has a 144Hz refresh rate and supports HDR10+ contents while the peak brightness remains 1000nits. It has 1080×2400 pixels capacity and 395 PPI density. Further, the screen-to-body ratio and aspect ratio is seen to be 91.0% and 20:9 respectively.

The rear panel of the handset is made up of AG Matte glass has a new rectangular camera bump. There are two different color variations available – Interstellar Black and Galaxy White. Both weigh 199 grams and measure 8.46mm in thickness.

Performance and Memory

Like most flagship phones from 2022, the Nubia Z40 Pro is also powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor. This chipset is based on a 4nm manufacturing process and integrates Adreno 730 for graphics alongside an octa-core CPU with a Cortex-X2 core clocked at 3.00GHz. Others are three Cortex-A710 and four Cortex-A510 cores clocked at the speed of 2.50GHz and 1.80GHz respectively. The system boots on Android 12 on top of MyOS 12.

Moreover, there is a vapor chamber cooling setup in the Z40 Pro. The total heat dissipation area here measures 3500mm2.

Rest of the specs

For biometrics, the device features an optical under-display fingerprint sensor teamed up with a software-based face unlock. Other sensors include an accelerometer, gyro, proximity, and compass. In addition, there are some connectivity options like Wi-Fi 802.11, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS (A-GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, BDS), NFC, and USB Type-C 3.1.

Infi Store down with the website and social media handles: What happened?

Infi Store; a growing e-commerce platform of the Nepali market has closed all its operations effective from 4 PM February 26. However, the orders made before the given time will be handled by the store. Not only the website but even the pages on its social media handles have been deleted. We have no idea why such a growing platform as Infi Store has gone under the hill.

What was Infi Store?

Infi Store is an e-commerce site established around two years ago. It was blooming in a very nice way. They even organized Nepal’s largest Online Book Collection “Infi Kitaab Karnival” on the first week of December 2020.

They had all the items we are fond of on the website. We are talking from guitars to books to frozen MOMOs to oats and muesli for your breakfast.

They went on with some popular hashtags like #ShopWithInfi, #NeverLimitYourself, and #InfiStore. We also got to see some interesting Twitter contests like “Have you met a partner/friend on Twitter?”. There were many young people who participated in the contest to win their promo code. Though the Twitter handle Twitter is also on the way to being deleted for the Infi Store, you can see the contest participants with the use of #WeMetOnTwitter or #InfiTwitterContest.

The store has worked in collaboration with many popular digital wallets like Khalti, PrabhuPay, and SmartQR Nepal. During the first lockdown on Nepal, it was mentioned in an article by Online Khabar. The exact words were “No Knowledge that INFI Store safely delivered anything and everything you need at your doorstep. And still does. Order Now!”.

They contributed 10% of their earnings from each delivery to feed “The Hungry Nepal”. P.S. The Hungry Nepal is a youth initiative that distributed food to people in need during tough times of lockdown.

The 7 Day Book Sale

The store had organized a 7 Days Book sale with 1,00,000+ books with up to 50% discount from February 27 to March 5. It also had all set for free delivery for purchase over Rs. 500 and gift Hamper for one Lucky Winner with the purchase over Rs. 2,000. So, with the store being collapsed from what we’ve seen, it is safe to say that the sale no longer exists.

Infi Store

What happened?

We are yet to know why the store has decided to end its service when it was doing so well. This kind of evolving e-commerce site should not have been un-operational just when the Nepali e-commerce market is starting to do very well. We are really very disappointed about what could have been the leading e-commerce startup of the Nepali market.

https://twitter.com/ouzi_rice/status/1367362828030537733?s=20&t=1MreW6rngdtFEHfoqWWsgQ

This was very unexpected because Infi Store was growing popular among the population of Nepal. Most people of Nepal have now started getting fond of various e-commerce sites even for their daily groceries. The Infi Store was in tough competition with other e-commerce sites like SastoDeal, Hamro bazaar, BizBazaar, and even Daraz. It is also no news that Infi Store was handling the market well and had growing fans and customers all over the country. As a matter of fact, we have noticed some Nepalese people living in foreign countries trying Infi Store to shop for their family or relatives who live in the Country.

It also has a refresh rate of 120Hz and a typical brightness of 500-nits, HBM brightness of 800nits, and peak brightness of 1300nits.

The screen gets its protection from Corning Gorilla Glass Victus. Likewise, there is a 10-bit display alongside a 100% DCI-P3 color gamut and 1000Hz touch sampling rate. Unlike the vanilla version, X5 Pro is IP68 rated for water and dust resistance which means it can endure 1.5m of water or a splash for 30 minutes in approximation.

The back panel of the device is made up of ceramic or eco-leather. This helps the device to stay cool since ceramic is a better conductor to heat in comparison to glass. There are three color variations for the device – Ceramic Black, Ceramic White, and Blue (eco-leather). Not to forget, the camera island here is a bit unusual. Despite having the same Gradient Arc slopes, the bump is shaped irregularly.

Performance and Memory

Find X5 Pro runs on Android 12 on top of ColorOS 12.1. It also supports the new “Multi-Screen Connect” feature that helps users to switch between phone and Windows PC easily. The chipset to power the system is a 4nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. It has Adreno 730 graphics processor alongside an octa-core (1×3.00GHz Cortex-X2 & 3×2.50GHz Cortex-A710 & 4×1.80 GHz Cortex-A510) CPU.

There are three memory configurations to choose from – 8/256GB, 12/256GB, and 12/512GB of UFS 3.1. You can no longer expand your internal memory because there is no place for a microSD card. Further, there is a vapor chamber cooling that keeps the temperature of the phone checked. Compared to last year’s Find X3 series, the chamber is 75% which results in more heat management.

Camera

The handset has a triple camera setup whose primary sensor is a 50MP lens that has an f/1.8 aperture and 1.0-microns pixel capacity alongside multi-directional PDAF and Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) support. The camera has a 6nm MariSilicon X chip and Hasselblad camera calibration that relies on the 13-channel color sensor. Also, the OIS here has a 3-axis sensor shift and a 2-axis lens shift. Despite having the same setup, the vanilla version lacks this feature.

There is another 50MP sensor that falls under the ultrawide lenses category and has a 110-degree field of view and multi-directional PDAF. Both 50MP cameras are the Sony IMX766 kind. Lastly, the setup is completed by a 13MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom and 5x hybrid zoom. The rear camera has HDR and Panorama modes with LED flash for better night shots.

The front camera is a 32MP IMX709 shooter with an f/2.4 aperture with panorama mode but not an HDR. There is also an RGBW sub-pixels filter that allows 60% more light on the front-facing camera. Moving on to the videos, the rear camera can shoot up to 4K videos at 30/60fps with the gyro-EIS. They are 10-bit videos that translate to a 120dB dynamic range. Likewise, the video from the front camera is limited to 1080p at 30fps and gyro-EIS.

Battery

Fueling the model is a Li-Po 5,000mAh non-removable battery with 80W SuperVOOC charging support. It can fill the juice by 50% in just 12 minutes. Likewise, there is a 50W AirVOOC charging which means the wireless charging is also fast enough since it can charge from 1 to 100% in just 47 minutes. You can also use it for reverse wireless charging since it supports up to 10W. The charging here is done via USB Type-C 3.1 which can also be for PowerDelivery and USB On-The-Go.

Moving on, there is a Battery Health Engine in the device which is well known to increase battery life. Not only that, but it will take around 1600 charge cycles before the battery health drops to 80%.

Rest of the specs

For biometrics, the brand has gone with an under-display fingerprint sensor. You can also use the face unlock service. Other sensors are an accelerometer, gyro, proximity, compass, and color spectrum. The connectivity options are now listed out as Wi-Fi 802.11, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS (A-GPS, GLONASS, BDS, GALILEO, QZSS), and NFC.

Oppo Find X5 Pro has a loudspeaker system with stereo speakers. The sound quality is very excellent, and it enhances your user experience. On the contrary, there is no 3.5mm headphone jack.
