The Nubia Air Pro proves that ultra-thin smartphones don't have to be expensive or compromise on cameras or battery. This 5.99-millimeter-thin mid-range smartphone features a 108 MP main camera, a 5,000 mAh battery, and a 4,500 nits AMOLED display – all for around $399.

ZTE is launching a Pro model of the Nubia Air, which, at 5.99 millimeters thick, is said to be slightly thicker than the Apple iPhone Air and about the same thickness as the Motorola Edge 70 ($537 on Amazon). However, this figure should be taken with a grain of salt, given that the Nubia Air was already about 0.8 millimeters thicker than advertised.

The smartphone weighs 172 grams and is IP69K-certified, meaning it is waterproof. The Nubia Air Pro features a metal frame and a pill-shaped camera module in the style of the iPhone Air, which houses a 108-megapixel main camera; ZTE has not provided any details about the second camera. The 32 MP selfie camera is housed in a punch hole in the 6.77-inch AMOLED display, which has a refresh rate of 144 Hz and a peak HDR brightness of 4,500 nits.
 


Inside the Nubia Air Pro is a MediaTek Dimensity 7100 with four ARM Cortex-A78 performance cores and four Cortex-A55 efficiency cores. It also features 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB to 512 GB of flash storage. The 5,000 mAh battery can be charged via USB-C at up to 45 watts. A unique feature is that ZTE offers a wristband that allows you to attach the Nubia Air Pro to your upper arm to use the sports mode, which can track steps, calories burned, and distance traveled via GPS.

Pricing and availability

ZTE's website already lists the Nubia Air Pro but has not yet confirmed any pricing details. According to information from Roland Quandt, the smartphone will be available in Europe with 8 GB of RAM and 512 GB of flash storage for around €350 ($399).
