Comparisons Featuring ZTE nubia M2
Short Review
- The ZTE nubia M2 features a sleek design with a glass front protected by Gorilla Glass and an aluminum back and frame, measuring 154.5 x 75.9 x 7 mm and weighing 168 grams.
- Its 5.5-inch AMOLED display offers a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, providing sharp visuals at approximately 401 ppi.
- Performance is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 chipset with an octa-core CPU and 4GB of RAM, ensuring smooth multitasking and app usage.
- The camera setup includes a 13 MP rear camera with a secondary 2 MP depth sensor, capable of recording 4K video at 30fps, while the 16 MP front camera is suitable for selfies.
- The battery capacity is 3630 mAh, supporting 18W fast charging but lacking wireless charging capabilities.
- Running on Android 6 with nubia UI 4, the software experience is functional but may feel dated compared to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1, and USB Type-C, though it does not support 5G or NFC.
- Special features include a headphone jack, which is becoming less common in modern devices.
- Overall, the ZTE nubia M2 combines solid build quality with decent performance and camera capabilities.
