Reviews for the ZTE Nubia N1

76% Nubia N1 review – great battery life, average camera
Source: Gogi.in English Archive.org version
The Nubia N1 is a good handset, camera is average (can be improved), battery life is impressive. When you look at this handset and then there is the Redmi Note 4, RN4 is no doubt a better option.

70% ZTE Nubia N1 review: For all your movies on-the-go
Source: The Indian Express English Archive.org version
Nubia N1 is the perfect for the budget smartphone buyer, who need a smartphone that won’t die everyday. The long battery is a sure shot winner for the N1. The 480 ppi pixel density display also means that customers who love to watch movies on-the-go get a great experience, without charging the device every few hours. At Rs 12,000, Nubia N1 is a solid buy for those who need that extra battery.

Nubia N1 review: Nubia’s big battery gamble
Source: The Mobile Indian English Archive.org version
To conclude, Nubia N1 does scores good marks in terms of battery and overall performance. The smartphone comes with some interesting features in the software department, but still it needs to do a lot in order the software more efficiently.

50% Nubia N1 Review: Big On Battery And Camera
Source: PC Quest English Archive.org version
With 32GB/64GB storage and 5,000mAh battery you can pack your phone with movies and TV shows to kill your time while traveling. The display too is bright enough and we are sure that you’ll enjoy watching them. Nubia N1 has been priced at Rs 11,999 however; you can also consider Moto G4 or the Redmi Note 3.

69% Nubia N1 Review
Source: Think Digit English Archive.org version
The Nubia N1 is a decent smartphone. It’s better than most other Helio P10 powered smartphones we’ve reviewed so far. However, it doesn’t live up to its promise of three day battery life and has a sub-par camera, making it a less than ideal choice. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 and Nubia’s own Z11 Mini are better phones to buy.

Nubia N1 Review: Betting on Megapixels and Mega Battery
Source: Tech PP English Archive.org version
It has an innovative (if confusing) UI, a good front shooter and a big battery, but those apart, the Nubia N1 is not very different from other notable smartphone falling in the sub-Rs 15,000 segment. And that is not good for it, because the Nubia N1 will be facing some stiff competition from smartphones like Lenovo K6 Power which offers a better multimedia experience at a lower price and Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 3 and Redmi 3S Prime which fall in the same category, and come with good battery life and a better UI. If all you need really is battery which can easily last for 2-2.5 days and a great front selfie shooter, the Nubia N1 comes as a great option for Rs. 11,999. The problem, however, is that most users want just a bit more.

60% Nubia N1 review: Better alternatives available
Source: Gadgets Now English Archive.org version
Nubia devices are generally quite good looking, but unfortunately, that's not the case with the N1. Apart from the camera there's nothing extra ordinary about this device. On the contrary, there are smartphones like Coolpad Note 5 and Moto G4 which have better specifications and look good too, despite falling under the same price bracket as the Nubia N1. Consequently, we don't think that the Nubia N1 is a value-for-money smartphone.

ARM Mali-T860 MP2: Dual-Core version of the Mali-T860 graphics card from ARM for mostly Android based smartphones and tablets. E.g. in the Mediatek Helio P10 clocked at 700 MHz and produced in 28nm.

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


Helio P10 MT6755: ARM-based octa core SoC (8x Cortex-A53) with 64 Bit support and a clock rate of up to 2 GHz per core.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


5.50":

It is a very small display format for smartphones. You should by no means be mis-sighted and you will generally see very little on the screen and only have a small resolution available. In return, the device should be very small and handy.

ZTE:

ZTE is short for Zhong Xing Telecommunication Equipment Company Limited, which was founded in China in 1985 and is partly state-owned. ZTE's core business is wireless, optical transmission, data transmission equipment, telecommunications software and cell phones, USB sticks, routers and tablets.


70.1%: 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.
