ZTE Nubia 5 Review

(NX501) Score: 58.5 / 100

ZTE Nubia 5 is an interesting Android cellphone released some years ago, in 2012, coming with a pretty large 5" multi-touch capacitive screen, a high speed Quad-Core processor speeding at 1500 MHz, and two cameras, a 13 megapixels back camera and a 2 megapixels front-facing camera.

This phone ships with a high-tech 1.5 GHz Quad-Core CPU, packed into a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 system chip and a great 2 GB RAM. A nice feature of this cellphone is its big 16 GB internal storage and while it doesn't include a slot for an external memory card, it should be enough to install a couple hundred applications, although it probably wouldn't be suitable if you are planning to install a couple of the heaviest games available nowadays or taking tons of pictures and videos.

This phone only has 5.43" long, but it manages to hold a 5" display. This phone has a wonderful design, with a thickness of just 0.29 inches. ZTE made a great job making this phone weight just 4.51 oz. ZTE is offering the ZTE Nubia 5 in 2 different colors: black and white.

The ZTE Nubia 5 has two cameras, a 13 MP back facing camera and a 2 MP front-facing camera. It is capable of filming videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD). The camera also features flash.

ZTE designed this phone with a incredible 5 inches display, and a resolution of 1920 x 1080 (Full HD), which makes everything look absolutely great. Its display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.

The ZTE Nubia 5 offers WiFi capability (but it can't provide it to other devices as a mobile hotspot), 4G HSPA+ data connection, that is not as fast as LTE networks and 3G fast connectivity, over HSDPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone uses a SIM card for GSM networks and it can use both CDMA and GSM.

This cellphone also features a handful of useful characteristics such as NFC, Bluetooth (for communication with other bluetooth phones and accessories) and GPS, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Gyroscope.

The ZTE Nubia 5 uses amassive 2300 mAh battery, which isn't very promising for a cellphone like this.

This cellphone costs around 260 dollars, which is a high price for this kind of device. No matter if you want a gaming device or will use it majorly for internet broswing and social networks, you will definitely be very happy with it.
