Nubia has its own slim lineup. A basic model was released in September last year with the title Nubia Air. This was, however, thought to be a single handset at the time, not a series. Little did we know, the company was actually planning to debut the “ZTE Nubia Air Pro” down the road, which they’ve now listed on the official site with specs.
The listing showed almost all of its specs, and even gave a price tag for it in Europe. This is quite a premium handset and fits the upper midrange. The phone’s chassis is apparently 5.99mm thin, and it’s an all-metal design too.
The camera bar design is definitely stolen from the iPhone Air, but you get two lenses on the ZTE new nubia model. There’s a 108MP main photo clicker on the back. A selfie camera is put in a punch hole cutout, which is a front 32MP shooter. The listing did not get into the nitty-gritty.
The phone is thin, but the Nubia Air Pro is still outfitted with at least a 5000mAh battery. And this will recharge over a 44W input. Those are ordinary numbers, though they are still better than iPhone Air’s and Galaxy S25 Edge’s battery figures.
The screen has very thin bezels. It’s clearly a primo AMOLED at a 6.77” size. The refresh rate is 144Hz on what we assume is a FHD+ or 1.5K resolution. The peak brightness will hit 4500nits when there’s HDR content playing on the screen. The chin is almost uniform on the Nubia Air Pro.
The phone was tested, and it actually passed all the tests for an official IP69K rating. Nubia Air Pro is proof that thin phones don’t need to compromise on durability. The performance comes from a low-end 5G chip, though, which is why it didn’t secure a flagship status.
There’s a Dimensity 7100 chip on this newcomer. That’s a 2.4GHz platform. The RAM is 8GB LPDDR5X, and the storage is actually a 512GB UFS 2.2 module. The red accent button is the power key. The fingerprint reader is only on the display. €499 (~PKR 158,000) is the Nubia Air Pro’s expected price for the 8/512GB trim.
