Score Breakdown
Editorial
ZTE Nubia has always marched to it's own drum. Best known for it's beautiful selfie-notch-less screens, Nubia delivers another unique phone with a glass back that looks and feels like leather, tiny screen bazels, 144Hz bright screen but it's ambition is in the imaging department that brings a triple lens including a 35mm main and a two-stage camera shutter as well. There is another hardware button that can be asigned to different purposes.
