Nuu launches new ultra-affordable 5G smartphone with a secondary rear display

Nuu has launched its latest affordable 5G smartphone, the B40 5G, in the US market. Like the Xiaomi 17 Pro and Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, the B40 5G also comes with a secondary display, which Nuu calls the ‘Vista Display.' Interestingly, it’s an AMOLED panel and fully functional as the main screen. Speaking of dimensions, the rear display measures 1.6 inches and resolves at 460 x 228 resolution with a peak brightness of 500 nits. It sits next to the dual rear camera setup in a protruding island. 

According to the company, the secondary display can display time, date, charging status, call and message previews, step count, and playback controls. On top of this, it can be used as a viewfinder for the camera and a camera shutter. 

The Nuu B40 5G boasts a 6.7-inch curved AMOLED main display that outputs at 2400 x 1080 resolution with a refresh rate of 120 Hz and a peak brightness of 1100 nits. For photography, you get a dual rear camera setup, consisting of a 64 MP primary camera and a 2 MP macro lens. Upfront, there is a 16 MP snapper for capturing selfies and video chats. 

Inside, the smartphone is the MediaTek Dimensity 7025 processor paired with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage with no room for storage expansion. Unfortunately, it still runs Android 15 out of the box, and there’s no word on its software support from the brand. Furthermore, it boasts a 5,000 mAh battery with 33 W wired charging support (the Ugreen 35 W charger curr. at $19.99 on Amazon). Other features include an in-display fingerprint sensor, Bluetooth 5.2, and dual SIM support. 

Available in a midnight grey colorway, the Nuu B40 5G is priced at $249.99 for a single 8 GB + 256 GB variant. Interested buyers can now purchase the phone directly from Nuu’s official website.
