The smartphone has an additional side button that users can assign to almost any task, such as opening an app with a single press or calling an AI assistant. Overall, the physical buttons have been completely updated and now support various functions, including a half-press, a full press, and a long press.

The smartphone promises an upgraded surround sound system with dual speakers.

The main advantage of the photo flagship is a 50 MP main camera with a 35mm focal length, a 50 MP super-wide-angle 1/1.55″ camera, and a periscope telephoto lens OmniVision OV64B. The front side has an under-display front camera, allowing Nubia to implement a completely bezel-less display without cutouts.
