So even active water cooling can not handle Elite 5? What is the point in that chip then :/
The Z80 Ultra seems to be a better phone overall even for people who play games.

Anonymous, 17 Nov 2025Funny enough plenty lf phones (even S25U) with smaller bezels than the nubia.my bad i meant punch hole less
and honestly after the red magic 10 pro's bezels, i dont see much point in shrinking it down, just a measuring contest that doesn't lead to any huge changes in size/real life enjoyment. Bezel symmetry helps and the Chinese have mostly solved it

I heard the Nubia speakers and they are "fine", but even S25U has better speakers, so does the iPhone 17 Pro Max, ROG phone and Xperia 1 VII.
Fine doesn't mean bad, but plenty of better speakers, at least not trash like on S22U years ago.

Funny how it has a bigger battery than OnePlus 15, but worse battery life and it throttles more.
Btw friend of mine got it from german amazon and the charger did NOT come in box, guess these guys get special treatment.
a literal gaming phone with a sub par speakers, well ain't that something
The speakers suck, the battery is worse than the 17 Pro Max, Find X9 Pro and the Oneplus 15 and charging is worse than the 17 Pro Max and Oneplus 15.
Yeah the cooling fan is nice but if you turn it on you'll get even lower battery life, lmao. The Oneplus even has a higher refresh rate.
I'm a huge fan of the bezel less display and the fan is a nice touch. The IPX8 rating is a game changer and that must be commended
But I just don't see the point, especially at the ludicrously high price for such a mid device. The Z80 Ultra does so much more at less that this looks like a rip-off. You pay more than this for the Oppo/Xiaomi/Oneplus for a great well rounded experience and you pay less with the z80 for a slightly worse but still well rounded experience.
Really, I don't get the point of this. And it's weird that stuff like the charging and battery dont show the competitors and there's no heatmap either. Sus.
But oh well, I hope some super gamer can enlighten me behind the value of this phone cus I just don't see it. Stays somewhat cool whilst gaming and has a bezelless display. That's all I can think of.
Considering this thing is undercutting the competition on price and providing more than ridiculous specs considering the enhanced cooling; 4.3/5 seems grossly unfair. It's a bloody bargain.
I'm not understanding the critic about the speakers. Not a single review of this device I've seen says anything negative about the speakers. The RM phones the last several years have featured some of the best speakers you can get in a smartphone period and the reviews I've watched of this phone have all echoed the same thing.
