Editorial report

ZTE Nubia Neo 5 Max technical sheet

The Nubia Neo 5 Max suits buyers who want a very large display and gaming-focused features, but its 245 g weight is a clear drawback. Gaming buttons and a side fingerprint sensor complete a design aimed at playing and viewing content on a broad panel.

Its 7.5″ display offers 120 Hz, 240 Hz touch sampling, 1000 nits and 407 ppi. The MediaTek Dimensity 7100, 8 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256 GB of UFS 2.2 storage belong to the configuration shown; the phone is also sold as 8 GB / 512 GB. Storage cannot be expanded.

The 7100 mAh battery and 80 W charging are better than most phones of its time. Reverse charging is included as well. Connectivity is another strength, with 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, eSIM, NFC and several navigation systems. The 50 MP rear camera has an f/1.8 aperture, optical stabilization and 4K video at 30 fps, making its camera setup typical for its time; it has no optical zoom.

Overall, the phone is typical among phones of its time: battery and connectivity are better than most, while its weight is worse than most. Its overall NeoScore is 6.7, making it most appealing to buyers who prioritize a large display, battery capacity and broad connectivity.
