Nubia’s game-changing mid-ranger finally made its debut. At a base price of CNY2,400, the nubia Play 5G is currently the most affordable smartphone that packs a 144Hz display.
It sports a 6.65-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen with 240Hz touch sampling rate and runs on a Snapdragon 765G, up to 8GB of RAM, and up to 256GB of UFS 2.1 storage. It also packs a 5,100mAh battery that supports 30W wired fast-charging and Quick Charge 4.0.
The device employs the ICE 2.5 cooling system, which uses a 61mm liquid cooling tube in conjunction with heat-dissipating materials like graphite and thermal gel. The system can reduce CPU temperature by up to 16 degrees celsius.
Camera-wise, there’s a 48MP Sony IMX582 main sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide shooter, and a pair of 2MP sensors for macro and depth. Upfront is a 12MP module. Other features include capacitive shoulder buttons for an enhanced gaming experience.
