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.

PROs
original and unique, fast SD 8 Elite with UFS 4.0 performance, sub-50min 80W charging, >1400nits bright 430ppi 144Hz AMOLED screen, IP69 protection, excellent pics from 50MP 35mm OIS PDAF main + 64MP 70mm OIS PDAF telephoto + 50MP 13mm PDAF ultrawide back cameras, the under-display 16MP 24mm selfie is finally taking some nice pics, fast USB-C 3.2 port with OTG
CONs
can get very hot under heavy load, only 24hr endurance from a relatively large 6600mAh Si-C battery, no Dolby Vision or HDR10+, camera software could be more intuitive, average video recording quality, no SD memory expansion, short OS update policy, no desktop replacement functionality or Video out
