This phone is simply one of the best budget phones in it's class. Very underrated.

My reason of buying it was because I needed a dedicated business phone, so my personal device doesn't keep exploding with calls and e-mails. For me, I'm going to review this as a "throwaway device that will be exchanged after a year or two, or when it breaks".

For the purpose of using "business-y" apps such as Gmail, WhatsApp and social medias, it works very well.

It's nice to hold, has a nice grip and just works. It's also got a very peculiar look to it, instead of being a complete NPC-phone such as a Galaxy A17. The holepunch is small and encapsulates a decent selfie camera, albeit it won't turn you into an Instagram model.

The screen is nice. Good colours like lots of other OLEDs, great brightness and the bezels are pretty good. It has a bit of a chin, but it's completely fine for a phone in the €150 segment. It isn't impeding at all.

It's not a speed demon, featuring a budget-tier 6nm Unisoc T8300 SoC which still beats out the MediaTek Helio G99 and G100, often found in other budget devices. However, it's certainly usable.

For €153, expecting any more would simply be unreasonable.

The boot up time of the device is good. The 256GB of built-in storage is plenty fast for daily tasks.

The main camera is decent. It's not bad. Unfortunately, the video recording capabilities are limited.

From a utilitarian standpoint, it is crisp enough to take pictures of documents, serial numbers, and other small text. For artistic purposes, such as photography, it's not a super good camera out of the box.

With some adjusting and the 50MP mode it can be a pretty decent camera though. It's like driving a manual car in that case, it's cheaper, but just requires a little bit of fiddling to get going.

For a €150 phone, it's more than passable and in line with phones which cost around €200.

The comparison images for both phones have been taken with their default settings, in the default Photo mode. No adjustments have been made to the images besides adding text to display the phone that has taken the image.

Things I love:

- Nice OLED display.

- Amazing screen brightness.

- Premium build quality, really feels like a phone that's €300+. Uses plenty of glass and metal.

- 5G Support.

- Android 16.

- Arguably looks better than the iPhone Air.

- 8GB Memory.

- Good battery life despite the SoC with older 6nm lithography.

- 256GB Storage.

- Camera that shoots out pictures that hit above their weight.

- Bezels are good for the price segment.

What could use some improvement:

- The fingerprint scanner doesn't work very well with a tempered glass screen protector.

- 5G speed isn't fast, but definitely usable. I measured about ~40 Mbps on the Vodafone network. To compare, my Oppo Find X9 Pro measures over 300 Mbps on the same network, with the same mobile plan and in a similar geographical position.

Things I dislike:

- Video recording capabilities are significantly lacking (only 720p30, 720p60 and 1080p30).

- Facial recognition algorithm is just plain bad. Hardly recognises my face, always have to either put in my PIN or use the mediocre fingerprint sensor.

- Speaker quality is mediocre

One thing to be aware of regarding software updates.. Nubia's track record regarding software updates is pretty bad.

Even their flagship phones have only gotten 1-2 years of updates, but fortunately, ZTE/Nubia are shifting towards longer 3/4 year support cycles. If you want a phone which gets guaranteed updates all the way up to Android 2x, then consider a different device from competitors such as Samsung.

If this is just a temporary phone or you don't mind sticking with Android 16/17 in the future, then this won't be a problem.

Zur Klarstellung vorab - nicht einmal 140€ für ein 5g fähiges Amoled Display Handy mit Gorilla Glas, upgedatet auf Android 16 vom mit Android 15 ausgelieferten! Dazu kommt noch der derzeit teurer gewordene Speicher von 256 GB. Selbst die oft kritisierte Lautstärke des Lautspreches ist aus meinen Hör -Fähigkeiten ausreichend. Der Akku hält einen Tag durch, die Ent-Sperrung durch Fingerprint auf dem Screen unten wird durch einen Kreis angezeigt, ansonsten Faceunlock oder Muster. Bei dem Preis kann man somit zum Gebotenen durchaus zufrieden sein, finde ich.

Bin mit dem Smartphone sehr zufrieden. Schnelle Lieferung, unkompliziert

Tolles Teil . Noch dazu preiswert .

Top Produkt wie von ZTE gewohnt.

Für den Preis ein interessantes Telefon. Gibt nix zu meckern.

Ich bin begeistert von diesem Smartphone!

Es ist handlich, angenehm schmal und leichter als andere Phones.

Die Installation war zwar aufwendig, lohnt sich aber! Solides Gesamtpaket: guter Arbeitsspeicher (8 RAM), Android 15, gute Kamera und hervorragender Klang für Musik und Telefonate. Ich wollte unbedingt ein Telefon mit Kopfhörer-Anschluss, aber ein Adapter ist absolut kein Problem und gar nicht klobig. Kritikpunkte: Akku hält leider nicht ewig, bei normaler Benutzung ca. 15 Stunden. Mir reicht es und vielleicht lässt sich das noch optimieren. Zweiter Punkt: die Auswahl der Hintergründe gefällt mir nicht. Aber auch damit kann ich leben ;)

Die Apps laufen nicht immer optimal, was aber mit einem anderen neuen Phone (das ich wieder zurück schickte) auch problematisch war. Habe das erforderliche Update wahrscheinlich zu spät installiert - falls es weiterhin hakt, würde ich es trotzdem behalten, da es bisher nur Instagram betrifft. Und andere, neuere Phones wären vermutlich auch überfordert. Ich empfehle die Fehleranalyse Schritt für Schritt mit einer der zahlreichen KI's.

Insgesamt eine absolute Kaufempfehlung!

Just a solid smartphone like many other, but a reasonable price and quick delivery

Lovely slim phone, very stylish. Does what it said on the tin as the say. Easy to set up and restore from backup of my old phone.

Piacevole sorpresa. Sta bene in mano, leggerissimo ma da impressione di solidità, il processore non è il top ma spinge quando serve, è ottimizzato veramente bene e il sistema operativo vola letteralmente, veloce e stabile. Mai un lag o un impuntamento. Il lettore di impronte sotto lo schermo funziona bene in ambiente lluminato, fatica con poca luce. Ricezione ottima in 5G, fotocamera nella norma, non è un camera phone, per me che scatto di rado va più che bene. La batteria non ha carica veloce e arriva max a 32w, per una carica completa circa un'ora e mezza. Audio solo mono e non stereo, forse la mancanza più grave. 6 aggiornamenti dall'accensione, ora monta Android 16.

Per il prezzo pagato i pochi compromessi non mi pesano, lo ricomprerei altre cento volte.

Compre un dispositivo de segunda mano y la verdad parece nuevo. Muy bueno todo, y me llegaba en 4 días y me llego en 2. Muy satisfecho

L'ho comprato da poco ,ma si sta rivelando un ottimo prodotto. Veloce,colori brillanti,belle le prestazioni della fotocamera.

Slow phone do not buy I have sent it back
