ZTE Nubia Neo 3 released for under ~$150 with 'futuristic mecha' design cues
A few weeks have passed since ZTE introduced the Nubia Neo 3 during MWC 2025 alongside the pricier Nubia Neo 3 GT. According to the company, the pair would be available at the end of March, which is now fast approaching.
Neither the Neo 3 or Neo GT can be found on Nubia's website yet. Instead, Nubia continues to focus on flagships like the Z70 Ultra (curr. $769 on Amazon). Lazada has now opened pre-orders for the former in the Philippines. In the process the retailer has confirmed that the Neo 3 comes in two memory configurations, both with 8 GB of RAM. Specifically, the device's two launch options are as follows:
- 8 GB RAM/128 GB storage - PHP 7,999 (~$139) / PHP 9,999 MSRP (~$174)
- 8 GB RAM/256 GB storage - PHP 9,999 (~$174) / PHP 11,999 MSRP (~$209)
Both memory configurations come in Cyber Silver, Shadow Black and Titanium Gold finishes, too. Regardless of finish and memory configuration, ZTE includes a Unisoc T8300 chipset, a 6,000 mAh battery that supports 33 W wired charging and a 50 MP primary camera. 16 MP front-facing and 2 MP depth of field cameras can be found as well, the former of which ZTE has integrated behind a 6.8-inch, 1080p and 120 Hz AMOLED display that delivers up to 1,000 nits HBM brightness. Unfortunately, it remains to be seen when the Neo 3 will be available in other markets yet.
