Nubia has officially launched the Nubia Air, a slim and trim smartphone that measures just 5.9mm thick. It arrives only a day after another Chinese maker, Tecno, announced the Pova Slim 5G. What’s interesting is that both are mid-range devices costing less than $300, despite the effort the brands have put into making such slender bodies.
Nubia Air Specifications
The Nubia Air carries a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. The screen also reaches an eye-catching 4,500 nits peak brightness and comes protected with Gorilla Glass 7i.
The display feels flagship-level, but Nubia has cut costs on performance. Inside, the phone runs on an entry-level Unisoc T8300 chip, paired with 8GB of RAM (virtually expandable by another 12GB) and 256GB of storage.
The camera setup on the device includes a 50-megapixel main shooter supported by EIS and joined by two secondary sensors. The front has a 20-megapixel selfie camera. Nubia has also packed in plenty of AI-powered tricks, like AI Super Night, HDR, VLOG mode, Magic Editor, and Magic Eraser, for people who like editing on the go.
What’s surprising is how rugged this thin device claims to be. The Nubia Air has IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings, meaning it’s protected against dust, water, and even high-pressure sprays. It also includes AI tools for real-time translation during calls, face-to-face conversations, and even AI noise and echo cancellation to improve call clarity.
Powering everything is a 5,000mAh battery, though Nubia hasn’t shared details on charging speeds yet.
Nubia Air Price and Specifications
The Nubia Air is priced at $279 (around Rs. 24,600) for the 8GB + 256GB variant. The sales will begin in Europe this month, followed by Southeast Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and more regions later this year. Color options include Titanium Black, Streamer Black, and Titanium Desert.
