Nuu Mobile has launched a new budget smartphone in the US, and it comes with a feature that is still pretty uncommon even on more expensive phones: a secondary rear display.
The new Nuu B40 5G includes a rectangular 1.6-inch AMOLED “Vista Display” built directly into the camera module on the back. It has a resolution of 460 x 228 pixels and can reach up to 500 nits of peak brightness, which should be decent enough for outdoor visibility. It can show things like the time, charging status, message notifications, music controls, and step tracking without needing to wake the main display.
It can also work as a viewfinder for the rear cameras, which should make selfies with the main camera a bit easier. That is something we usually only see on much pricier foldables or niche flagship phones.
The rest of the phone is fairly solid for the price too. On the front, the B40 5G features a 6.7-inch curved AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and Full HD+ resolution. Nuu says the panel can reach up to 1100 nits peak brightness, which should help a bit with outdoor visibility.
For cameras, the phone uses a 64MP main sensor alongside a smaller 2MP macro camera, while the front houses a 16MP selfie shooter.
Powering the device is the MediaTek Dimensity 7025 processor paired with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. The phone also ships with Android 15 out of the box, which is still not something you always get in the budget segment.
Battery capacity comes in at 5000mAh, with support for 33W wired charging. Other features include an in-display fingerprint scanner, Bluetooth 5.2, dual-SIM support, and 5G connectivity.
The Nuu B40 5G is priced at $249.99 in the US (roughly ₹23,900 or 1,694 yuan at the current exchange rate), although some launch promotions reportedly bring it closer to the $199 mark.
At this price point, the phone is obviously not trying to compete with premium handsets in raw performance or camera quality. But the rear AMOLED display definitely gives it a bit more personality than most budget phones.
