The Chinese brand Nubia has introduced a new gaming smartphone, the Nubia Neo 5 Pro. The novelty is aimed at a young audience and gamers who need maximum performance for reasonable money.

Fast display and convenient control

The smartphone features an impressive 6.8” OLED screen with a resolution of 1.5K. The main feature for mobile gaming enthusiasts is the 144 Hz refresh rate and instant touchscreen response.

For those accustomed to serious mobile battles, the Neo 5 Pro is equipped with physical triggers on the side edge. This frees up to 15% of the useful screen area, allowing you to control the gameplay as on a full-fledged console.

Cooling and Hardware

Nubia has taken a bold step by implementing an active cooling system using a 4083 mm² vapor chamber and a built-in fan. This allows keeping the body temperature within a comfortable 38.9°C even after an hour of intense battles in demanding games.

  • Processor: UNISOC T9100 / MediaTek Dimensity 7400 (depending on the region)
  • Memory: Up to 12 GB RAM and storage up to 256 GB
  • OS: MyOS 16 based on Android 16.

Autonomy and Cameras

The power supply is provided by a 6000 mAh battery with 80W fast charging support.

Despite being a gaming smartphone, the Nubia Neo 5 Pro has decent cameras: a 50 MP main module with AI algorithm support and a 16 MP front camera.

Price and Availability

The Nubia Neo 5 Pro is positioned as an ultra-budget gaming flagship. It has already appeared on the company's global website, but for now, it is only sold in China and some countries in Southeast Asia at a price of about $280. It is expected to reach the global market in early summer 2026.
