Days after unveiling its new logo and brand vision, ZTE-backed Nubia has today confirmed that it will be holding an online launch event on 21st April to launch its new device named Nubia Play which will have 5G connectivity support.

The company has not yet revealed anything related to this upcoming smartphone but going by the name, it seems likely that the Nubia Play will be a gaming smartphone. However, Nubia already has a gaming lineup under the Red Magic series.

So, we expect the upcoming Nubia Play smartphone to be a youth centric device and a mid-range gaming device, since the brand’s Red Magic lineup already covers the premium gaming market.

Interestingly, the company had also launched a smartphone series named Nubia M2 Play back in 2017. So, this could a part of that lineup and the company may have decided to ditch the ‘M2’ branding. To know for sure, we’ll have to wait for a few more days.

Recently, a Nubia smartphone with model number NX651J was spotted on 3C certification website which could be the upcoming Nubia Play 5G smartphone. The listing shows that the phone could have 30W fast charging support and is compatible with Quick Charge, PD, PPS and other charging protocols.

This will also mark the first device getting launch after the company unveiled its new logo, which has ditched the red dot design and has adopted a typography-based modern and bright red-colored branding.
