Editorial report
ZTE Nubia S 5G technical sheet
The Nubia S 5G suits buyers looking for an Android phone with 5G and IP68 protection who can accept its main trade-offs: 4 GB of RAM, 128 GB of storage, and a camera among the weakest of its time. Its RAM and storage are lower than those of most phones launched around the same time. Storage is expandable, although that does not change the amount included initially. Overall performance is typical for phones of its time.
The 6.7-inch IPS LCD display has a 120 Hz refresh rate, typical of its time, and a resolution of 1080 × 2400 px. The Unisoc T760 runs at up to 2.2 GHz, and storage uses UFS 3.1. The 50 MP rear camera has no optical image stabilization; the camera is among the weakest of its time. Its 5000 mAh battery has less capacity than most phones of its time, while 22.5 W charging is typical. Connectivity is also among the weakest of its time, despite support for 5G, NFC, and Nano-SIM + eSIM.
IP68 protection covers dust and water. Android 14, expandable storage, and a 120 Hz display add useful features, but the limits in memory, camera, connectivity, and battery weigh on the overall package. Its overall NeoScore is 4.7. It is best suited to buyers who prioritize 5G and IP68 protection over those compromises.
