The ZTE Nubia Pad Pro has a footprint of 253.3 x 164.6 mm and a thickness of just 7.3 mm, with an overall volume of approximately 304.36 cm³ and a weight of 523 g. The tablet does not include a stylus, a detachable keyboard, or backlit keyboard support, and it offers no water resistance rating. Tilt sensitivity is also absent, rounding out a design that keeps the accessory bundle minimal.
The ZTE Nubia Pad Pro features a 10.9″ IPS LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 2880 x 1800 pixels and a pixel density of 312 ppi, delivering a sharp and detailed visual experience. Its 144Hz refresh rate ensures smooth on-screen motion, while the absence of HDR10, HDR10+, and e-paper technology keeps the display profile straightforward. The panel does not use branded damage-resistant glass or sapphire glass, so no additional protective coating is specified.
The ZTE Nubia Pad Pro is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, a 4nm chipset with an 8-thread CPU configuration running at speeds of up to 3.3 GHz across its big.LITTLE core arrangement, complemented by an Adreno 750 GPU clocked at 900 MHz with 3 execution units and support for a single display output. The SoC includes integrated LTE, TrustZone security, integrated graphics, and supports DirectX 12, OpenGL 3.2, OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenVG 1.2, and OpenCL 2, with a TDP of 12.5W. The tablet ships with 16GB of RAM running at 4800 MHz across 2 memory channels, a maximum memory bandwidth of 76.6 GB/s, and a maximum supported memory of 24GB, backed by 1TB of internal eMMC 5.1 storage and an L2 cache of 1MB alongside a 12MB L3 cache — though no external memory slot is available. It runs Android 15, uses HMP scheduling, supports 64-bit processing, and achieves Geekbench 6 scores of 2213 single-core and 7325 multi-core.
The ZTE Nubia Pad Pro features a 13 MP rear camera with a CMOS sensor, a single LED flash, touch autofocus, continuous autofocus during video recording, and a video light, while manual controls cover ISO, focus, exposure, and white balance. It does not include a back-illuminated sensor, optical image stabilization, optical zoom, or manual shutter speed, and lacks support for slow-motion recording, timelapse, burst mode, panorama, 360° panorama, HDR10 recording, Dolby Vision recording, dual-tone or RGB flash, and 3D capture. On the front, a 20 MP camera with an f/2 aperture is available for video calls and self-portraits, though it does not have its own LED flash. The rear camera does support built-in HDR mode, rounding out a camera setup oriented toward everyday shooting rather than advanced videography.
The ZTE Nubia Pad Pro includes stereo speakers for built-in audio output, but does not offer a 3.5mm headphone jack or a built-in radio. On the wireless audio side, none of the advanced Bluetooth codec standards are supported, including aptX, aptX HD, aptX Low Latency, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, or LDAC, meaning high-resolution or low-latency wireless audio transmission is not available on this device.
The ZTE Nubia Pad Pro is equipped with a 10100 mAh rechargeable, non-removable battery that supports fast charging and includes a battery level indicator. Wireless charging is not available on this device.
The ZTE Nubia Pad Pro connects via Wi-Fi and uses a USB Type-C 3.2 port with download and upload speeds of up to 10000 Mbits/s and 3500 Mbits/s respectively, though it lacks a cellular module, 5G support, GPS, NFC, HDMI output, Ethernet, and Galileo positioning. On the software side, the tablet supports a broad range of privacy and productivity features, including location privacy options, camera and microphone access controls, clipboard warnings, app tracking blocking, on-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, voice commands, and device position tracking, while cross-site tracking blocking, Mail Privacy Protection, Quick Start, and Wi-Fi password sharing are not available. Usability features include split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, full-page screenshots, a media picker, sharing intents, customizable notifications, notification permissions, widgets, dark mode, dynamic theming, theme customization, an extra dim mode, child lock, multi-user support, battery health check, app offloading, and the ability to play games while downloading. Biometric and sensor options are notably absent — there is no fingerprint scanner, 3D facial recognition, iris scanner, gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, barometer, or infrared sensor — and the device does not receive direct OS vendor updates nor support focus modes or a built-in projector.
The ZTE Nubia Pad Pro uses DDR5 memory and supports multithreading, allowing the processor to handle multiple threads simultaneously for more efficient task execution.
