Nubia is a Chinese smartphone company that started out as part of telecom hardware giant ZTE, but broke away in 2015 to do its own thing. And the company has been able to do some wonderful things, releasing some stunning devices in China and occasionally in India, and the good news is that it looks like the company is seeing the potential in growing its presence in India, like most of its fellow Chinese competitors. The company is most well known for its Red Magic series, but we’re here to talk about a standalone mid-range model — the Nubia Play 5G. As the name suggests, this is Nubia’s foray into 5G compatible devices, as most manufacturers are doing these days. The display on the Nubia Play 5G is a stunning 6.65-inch AMOLED panel offering a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels. You get 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage space. The phone is powered by a Snapdragon 765G chip and runs on Nubia UI, offering the latest version of Android. On the back, you get a quad camera setup in a 48MP + 8MP + 2MP + 2MP configuration and on the front, you have a 12MP selfie snapper that also lets you record 1080p videos and make video calls. The Play 5G has a battery backup of a whopping 5100mAh and supports 30W fast charging as well. Some of the popular Nubia mobiles include the Nubia Red Magic 3, Nubia Red Magic 5G, and the Nubia Red Magic 3S.
