The ZTE Nubia Neo 3 has a 6.8-inch IPS LCD panel at 1080 x 2392 pixels with a 120 Hz refresh rate, which works out to roughly 386 ppi. It is the only phone in this group without an AMOLED screen, and it has the lowest HBM brightness at 1000 nits. No peak brightness is listed for it.
The Tecno Spark 40 Pro Plus (1224 x 2720 on 6.78 inches) is the sharpest at about 440 ppi, while the Infinix Note 40 Pro Plus and Infinix GT 20 Pro both use 1080 x 2436 panels at about 393 ppi.
The Spark 40 Pro Plus also has the best brightness figures, with 4500 nits peak and 1600 nits HBM, both listed. The Note 40 Pro Plus lists 1300 nits HBM but no peak brightness, and the GT 20 Pro lists the reverse, a 1300 nits peak with no HBM figure. Peak and HBM are different measurements, so they should not be compared with each other, but a 1300 nits peak is far below the Spark 40 Pro Plus’s 4500 nits.
Refresh rate splits the group in two. The Spark 40 Pro Plus and GT 20 Pro both run at 144 Hz, while the Nubia Neo 3 and Note 40 Pro Plus run at 120 Hz. That gives the two 144 Hz phones slightly smoother scrolling and gaming.
Retailer prices on 1 November 2026 are PKR 70,000 new for the Nubia Neo 3, PKR 73,000 new for the Spark 40 Pro Plus, PKR 63,000 used for the Note 40 Pro Plus and PKR 72,000 used for the GT 20 Pro. Used prices vary more from unit to unit than new retail pricing.
