Evidence-based overview

nubia Neo 5 Pro technical sheet

The ZTE nubia Neo 5 Pro puts a 6.8-inch AMOLED display at the centre of its specification. It has 1,080 × 2,392 px resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate, 240 Hz touch sampling, peak brightness of 4,500 nits and a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. The panel uses curved glass and is listed as scratch resistant. Stereo speakers with DTS and DTS:X handle audio.

Its hardware combines the 4 nm Unisoc T9100, Mali-G57 graphics, 12 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 3.1 storage up to 256 GB. The documented AnTuTu result is 851,306 in v11; this is a supplied specification record, not a NeoTeo test. Storage cannot be expanded.
