Announcement. ZTE S30, ZTE S30 Pro and ZTE S30 SE - mid-range 5G for China

ZTE has unveiled the top three 5G smartphones of the typical modern mid-range in its homeland in China.

What is unknown:
- is there support for memory cards;
- is there NFC;
- are there “our” LTE frequencies?

Let's start with the older one and continue downward.

ZTE S30 Pro

ZTE S30 Pro... ¥ 2,998 (₽34,600, $ 457) for the only 8 + 256GB version available.

Powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 768G Chipset - Underfour hundred thousand points in AnTuTu8. AMOLED screen with built-in fingerprint scanner. Diagonal 6.67 ″, resolution 1080 × 2400 (395 ppi), very high refresh rate - as much as 144 Hz. A billion colors. The battery is not very impressive in volume, only 4200 mAh. But charging is quite fast - 55 watts.

Cameras. The front camera stands out - as much as 44 MP. Behind the standard quartet - 64 + 8 + 2 + 2 MP - main camera, wide-angle, macro, depth sensor.

ZTE S30

ZTE S30... ¥ 2,198 (₽25,400, $ 335) for the 8 + 128 GB variant and ¥ 2,398 (₽27,700, $ 365) for the 8 + 256 GB variant.

The chipset is a bit simpler, MediaTek Dimensity 720.But the performance is also decent, under three hundred thousand AnTuTu8 points. The diagonal and screen resolution are the same as those of the older brother, 6.67 ″ FHD +. But the matrix is ​​already IPS, and the refresh rate dropped to 90 Hz. The battery is quite modest, 4000 mAh. Charging at 30 watts.

Cameras. Front - classic 16 MP. The rear unit is similar to that of the Pro version. 64 + 8 + 5 + 2 MP - the same main camera, wide-angle, macro, depth sensor.

ZTE S30 SE

ZTE S30 SE... Only ¥ 1,698 (₽19,600, $ 259) for the only 6 + 128GB version available.

Chipset MediaTek Dimensity 700.The same mysterious chip on which six smartphones have already been made and on which I still cannot find a single AnTuTu test result. I expect in the region of three hundred thousand points, plus or minus. The screen is the same as that of the ZTE S30, but without the increased refresh rate. The same 6.67 ″ FHD +. But ZTE S30 SE is the only one of the whole trinity to boast an excellent capacious battery - 6000 mAh. And the slowest charging is 18 W.

Cameras. An even more modest front camera is 8 MP. Shirik disappeared from the rear block. There is only a trio of 48 + 5 + 2 MP - the main module, macro, depth sensor.

On sale from day to day. Whether it will be available outside of China is unknown.
