Between the Z70 Ultra and V40 Pro, the Z70 Ultra comes out ahead in antutu / ram, while the V40 Pro wins on front camera / weight. Overall, the Z70 Ultra scores 75.1 and the V40 Pro scores 67.6 on our Mars Score.
Which should you buy?
The Z70 Ultra edges ahead on the Mars Score (75.1 vs 67.6), but the 7.5-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the Z70 Ultra if the display is what you stare at all day — refresh rate, brightness, or sharpness is where the difference will be most visible. The biggest gaps in its favor are antutu, ram, refresh rate, among others.
Pick the V40 Pro if you photograph or shoot video regularly and want the better imaging pipeline of the two. Its strongest claims are front camera, weight, pixel density.
Both ship with comparable main camera, 5g support, water resistance, so those specs do not separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: the Z70 Ultra is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
