In terms of characteristics, the Nubia V18 is a typical mid-budget device of 2018. According to the manufacturer, the extended 6.01-inch Full HD display occupies 86.25% of the front panel (but we doubt it very much). Inside, the eight-core processor Snapdragon 625 is installed. It looks like Qualcomm has arranged a sale of this chip for Chinese manufacturers. RAM 4 GB, built-in 64 GB plus a slot for microSD cards up to 128 GB.

The main camera is 13-megapixel, with f / 2.2 optics, PDAF phase auto-focus, flash and NeoVision 7.0 system with various effects. A front 8-megapixel camera with a f / 2.0 aperture and a viewing angle of 80 ° in the future will receive an update with the face recognition function for unlocking. In the meantime, you can use a fingerprint scanner on the back.

The autonomy is answered by a 4000 mAh battery. The smartphone runs Android 7.1 Nougat with the Nubia UI 5.1 shell, which optimizes resource consumption. As a result, on one charge Nubia V18 will last two days. The port is still Micro USB, 3.5-mm headphone jack is also there. NFC was not delivered.

If you already lick at the screen with a minimal frame, you have to disappoint. The company embellished the reality and forgot to draw a few millimeters of "chin" on the renderers. Here's how the Nubia V18 looks in life:

And how much is he worth?

In China, sales of Nubia V18 start on March 29, the model was estimated at $ 205. Direct competitor in the face of Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus costs the same in the same configuration (on the home market). He has a metal case, although there is plastic on top and bottom.
