Editorial report

ZTE nubia Neo 4 GB / 256 GB / International technical sheet

The ZTE nubia Neo suits buyers looking for a large, smooth display, but it comes with two clear trade-offs: its battery has less capacity than most phones launched around the same time, and its rear camera sensor is smaller than those in most of those phones. Overall, it is typical among phones from its launch period, with a well-defined display as one of its stronger points.

The 6.6-inch IPS LCD combines a 120 Hz refresh rate with 400 ppi, a higher pixel density than most phones launched around the same time. The refresh rate itself is typical. Curved glass includes Gorilla Glass Victus, while the 8 mm body is thinner than most phones of its time. This version pairs 8 GB of RAM with 256 GB of expandable storage. The nubia Neo is also sold in 4 GB / 256 GB and 8 GB / 128 GB configurations. Its processor is the Unisoc T820, and it runs Android 13.

The 50 MP rear camera records 1080p video at 30 fps and has an f/1.8 aperture, but its 1/2.76″ sensor is smaller than those in most phones launched around the same time, and it has no optical image stabilization. The 4,500 mAh battery supports 22.5 W charging. Connectivity includes 5G, NFC, Bluetooth 5.2, dual Nano-SIM and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Its 5.3 NeoScore is typical among phones from its time. It is a fit for buyers who prioritize the display and expandable storage and can accept the battery and camera limitations.
