The Galaxy S22 series is finally set for launch. However, it now seems that the ZTE Nubia Z40 Pro can hope to keep itself in mind for some tech fans even during this event, as the 2 types of flagship will run on the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC in some cases. It is said to have posted Geekbench results comparable with those of the upcoming Samsung phones.

Doubt it, it's just another crappy Chinese phone which has impressive specs on paper, but actual real life performance is average at best.
You can't assemble hardware at a sweatshop to create a great user experience. You need R&D, which those Chinese tech stealers have little of.
