ZTE has officially launched the nubia Air in Vietnam, embodying the philosophy of “slim yet powerful.” This smartphone has garnered significant attention for its remarkable thinness of just 5.9mm and lightweight design at 172g, placing it among the slimmest devices available today. For comparison, Apple’s iPhone Air measures 5.6mm thick and weighs 165g.

Despite its slim profile, the nubia Air ensures durability with an aluminum alloy frame, Gorilla Glass 7i protection, and IP68/IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance. These features enable the device to withstand rigorous testing, catering to users across diverse environments.

The smartphone boasts a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution and 440 PPI pixel density, supporting 100% DCI-P3 color gamut and a peak brightness of 4,500 nits. This ensures clear visibility even in bright conditions.

A 120Hz refresh rate enhances smooth scrolling for both work and entertainment. For photography, the nubia Air features a 50MP AI triple-camera setup with multiple shooting modes, while a 20MP front camera caters to selfie enthusiasts.

Powered by the Unisoc T8300 octa-core processor on a 6nm process, the nubia Air offers 28% greater energy efficiency than its predecessor. With up to 20GB of dynamic RAM, it ensures seamless multitasking.

The 5,000mAh battery, combined with AI optimizations like AI Scheduling and APP Freeze, delivers stable performance and minimizes battery drain during extended use. Another standout feature is the AI Translate function, enabling real-time two-way call translation for cross-language communication.

Additionally, the nubia Air focuses on entertainment and connectivity. It integrates HiFi 4 DSP for robust audio quality and AI noise-canceling microphones for clearer calls. The nubia LinkFree feature allows Bluetooth calling and messaging within a certain range, even without cellular service, enhancing user convenience.

The nubia Air will be available from October 10, 2025, priced at 5,49 million VND. During the pre-order period from October 1–9, customers can enjoy discounts, free tech accessories, and 0% installment plans.
