Editorial report
Nubia M153 12 GB / 256 GB / China technical sheet
The Nubia M153 suits buyers seeking a powerful phone with an ambitious main camera and fast charging. Its main trade-off is the lack of Google Services, which matters for anyone relying on the Play Store and other Google apps.
Its 6.78″ AMOLED display provides 453 ppi and 120 Hz. Pixel density is better than most phones of its time, while the refresh rate is typical. The 12 GB of RAM is also better than what most phones offer; 256 GB of storage is typical and cannot be expanded.
The 50 MP main camera uses a 1/1.28″ sensor, an f/1.6 aperture and optical stabilization. Both the sensor size and aperture are among the best of their time, and video recording reaches 8K. The 6,000 mAh battery is typical, but 90 W charging is better than what most phones offer, with 15 W wireless charging as an additional option. Wi-Fi 7, 5G and Dual Nano-SIM complete connectivity that is better than most.
With an overall NeoScore of 8.3, the Nubia M153 is among the best phones of its time. It is especially suited to buyers who prioritize the camera, hardware and charging speed, provided they can do without Google Services.
