MWC 2024: ZTE's nubia Unveils Diverse Smartphone Lineup

ZTE's subsidiary, nubia, took the stage at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) to showcase not only the anticipated Flip 5G but also an array of other smartphones. Among the highlights were the camera-centric nubia Focus and Focus Pro, a budget-friendly gaming device called Neo 2, and a music-focused nubia Music mobile.

nubia Focus and Focus Pro

The nubia Focus and Focus Pro steal the spotlight with a powerful 108MP Neovision main camera, boasting a 1/1.67" sensor and f/1.75 aperture. The devices feature an eye-catching dual-tone back design reminiscent of traditional cameras, housing a large camera island. The main 108MP shooter offers versatile focal lengths, covering five on the Focus Pro and four on the Focus. Both phones provide in-sensor zoom, RAW HDR, and 4K video recording capabilities.

The Focus Pro introduces a convenient sliding button on the side frame for instant camera app access and a dedicated capacitive camera shutter. Display-wise, the Focus boasts a 6.6-inch (HD+ 120Hz) screen, while the Focus Pro steps up with a 6.72-inch (FHD+ 120Hz) panel. Under the hood, both devices feature Unisoc T760 chipsets, 8GB RAM, up to 256GB storage, and a robust 5,000 mAh battery with 33W charging. The nubia Focus is anticipated to start at $199, with pricing varying across markets.

nubia Neo 2

Targeting budget-conscious gamers, the nubia Neo 2 debuts at $199, offering capacitive shoulder triggers, a 6.72-inch display (FHD+ 120Hz), and a 5G-capable Unisoc T820 chipset with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. ZTE emphasizes optimal gaming performance through a multi-layer heat dissipation system and a dedicated Game Space 2.0 interface. The Neo 2 also features Dual DTS:X Ultra speakers and a sizable 6,000 mAh battery with 33W charging.

nubia Music

The nubia Music introduces a unique design, appearing like a standard smartphone on the front with a 6.6-inch (HD+ 90Hz) display and punch hole cutout. However, the fun stuff happens on the back with a DTS-branded loudspeaker promising to be 600% louder than typical smartphone speakers. Notably, the nubia Music stands out with not one but two 3.5mm headphone jacks, allowing users to share tunes with friends using wired headphones.

Powered by a Unisoc SC9863A chipset, 4GB RAM, and 128GB storage, the nubia Music ensures a smooth user experience. With a 5,000 mAh battery, it combines musical prowess with longevity. Expected to start at $149, the nubia Music adds diversity to nubia's MWC lineup.
