Editorial report
ZTE nubia Air 8 GB / 256 GB / Global technical sheet
The ZTE nubia Air suits buyers who want a large, exceptionally bright display in a slim, light body, while accepting less battery capacity than most phones of its time. The configuration shown has 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage; the phone is also sold with 512 GB.
Its 6.78-inch AMOLED display reaches 4500 nits and 440 ppi. Both brightness and pixel density are better than most phones launched around the same time. The 6.7 mm body weighs 172 g, and IP68 and IP69K provide water and dust resistance. Its 120 Hz refresh rate is typical for its time.
The 50 MP main camera has an f/1.6 aperture, among the best of its time, but no optical image stabilization. Performance is typical, with 479,500 points in AnTuTu v10. The 5000 mAh battery holds less capacity than most phones of its time, while 33 W charging is typical. The overall NeoScore is 5.8: this is a phone for display brightness and slimness rather than a large battery or advanced camera hardware.
