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.

Outside of the phone’s gaming features, the nubia Neo 5G is pretty much well specced for its price. Bloatware is minimal and the phone’s MyOS UI overlay is simple enough to use for longtime Android users. The main 50MP camera performs decently in daytime use. Under lowlight conditions, it’s rather average and outclassed by other phones. The 6000mAh battery holds up pretty well and with power saving turned on, it lasts more than a day for non-gaming use. As a pure media consumption device, the nubia Neo 5G hits all the marks, making a use-case outside of gaming.

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.

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.

Overall, the Neo 3 5G lives up to its promise as an affordable gaming phone, retailing at just P9,999. It caters well to younger audiences seeking extended gaming capabilities alongside basic smartphone functions. However, photography and media content creation are not its strong points, and users should mindful with the phone, due to its IP54 dust and water resistance rating.

The Nubia Neo 3 GT is a well-rounded smartphone for mobile gaming – and general use – offered at a fairly accessible price. It stands out with its bold gaming-oriented design and interface, a high-quality 120 Hz OLED display, solid performance enhanced by AI features, large battery capacity with 80W fast charging, and a range of gaming-focused features, from touch-sensitive triggers and liquid cooling to a dedicated Game Space. The cameras are generally capable but less suited for low-light photography. The software could be cleaner, and stereo sound more pronounced. Still, given the price, these minor drawbacks don’t overshadow the phone’s overall strengths.

72.1%: 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.
