Editorial report
ZTE nubia X 5G technical sheet
The ZTE nubia X 5G is aimed at buyers who put performance and storage ahead of battery capacity, which is below average for phones of its time. Its 3,800 mAh battery is the clearest trade-off, while 18 W fast charging is average. This is a hardware-focused phone, not one whose battery capacity leads its case.
Performance is among the best of its time. The 8 GB of RAM is more than most phones of the period offer, and 512 GB storage is among the highest capacities. That gives plenty of room for apps and files, though there is no expandable storage. Its 6.26-inch IPS LCD display has a density of 403 ppi, higher than that of most phones launched around the same time. A second, 5.1-inch display is also part of the design.
The camera is below average overall. The rear main camera has 16 MP and an f/1.8 aperture, but it has no optical image stabilization or optical zoom. Video recording reaches 4K at 30 fps. Android 9 and dual Nano-SIM support round out the specifications, but do not change the camera’s weaker comparative position.
Its overall NeoScore is 4.6, above average. The nubia X 5G makes most sense for buyers who value performance, memory and display density more than battery capacity or camera strengths; those are the trade-offs to weigh.
