ZTE Nubia Neo 5G Review
Source: Yugatech English
As we wrap up this review, let’s address the delicate matter at hand — the price of the phone. Now I know readers must be curious to have made it this far, as I did note that this was a thrifty pickup. But, how budget-friendly are we talking here? At the time this article was written, you can find the ZTE Nubia Neo 5G on sale for PHP 9,599 at ZTE’s official store in Shopee 66. At full price, this should be around PHP 11,999. For how much it costs versus how good it performs is a good deal, by the way. It’s a solid gaming phone, draped with what I think is a too over-the-top thematic touches. But you know, style is subjective. What matters here is how it is upon using it, right? Its competition with other gaming phones is surely offering better overall value, but at a way higher cost. Like, way higher.

Source: Speed Magazine English
The nubia Neo 2 5G entices mobile gamers on a budget with its range of gaming-centric features, head-turning design, and a price under P10K. Overall, the performance, battery life, and display are decent, with some room for improvement.

Nubia Neo 3 review Philippines: Budget Gaming Done Right
Source: Unbox English
At Php 9,999, the Nubia Neo 3 5G is a solid deal for budget gamers. The mecha-eye design, 120Hz display, and monstrous battery make it a compelling pick for Pinoy gamers who want bang-for-buck performance. The Unisoc T8300 chipset and AI Game Space 3.0 deliver a surprisingly smooth experience for casual to mid-tier gaming, and those shoulder triggers are a game-changer for its intended audience. But the glossy back, average cameras, and LCD display remind you this isn’t a flagship.

70.11%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
