Nubia Focus Pro review
The Nubia Nubia Focus Pro ranks as the #593 phones globally, achieving a LibraScore of 57. Across all metrics, this product stands out most for its #531-ranked battery among 800 phones. Consider the ZTE Libero Flip or Oppo K12, which offer higher scores while staying in the same price range.
Build Quality and Design
The Nubia Focus Pro features a sleek, camera-centric design with a dedicated shutter button, blending functionality and style. Its 8.5mm-thin frame and 222g weight ensure portability, while the 6.7" 120Hz display with 2.5D curved glass and frameless aesthetics elevate its premium feel. A side-mounted fingerprint sensor adds convenience, and the 86% screen-to-body ratio maximizes immersive viewing. Available in Black and Brown, the polycarbonate body offers a modern look but lacks the heft of glass. Though plastic materials may feel less luxurious, the device balances durability with a refined, multimedia-focused layout that prioritizes visual appeal and user accessibility. For a superior design, Nubia Z60S Pro could be the right choice.
Battery Life
The Nubia Focus Pro’s 5000mAh battery supports all-day use, paired with 33W fast charging for rapid power-ups. While real-world testing data isn’t provided, the large capacity and efficient charging suggest strong endurance for a mid-range device. The non-removable design ensures a sleek profile but limits user customization. Combined with power-saving features, this setup balances longevity and convenience, making it ideal for users prioritizing extended screen time without frequent recharging. A better alternative might be Nubia Neo 2 5G, featuring a next-level battery.
Display
The Nubia Focus Pro’s 6.7-inch LCD IPS display delivers vibrant visuals with a 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring smooth scrolling and responsive interactions. Its FHD+ resolution (1080x2400) and 399 PPI pixel density offer sharp details, while the 2.5D curved glass enhances the premium feel and ergonomics. A hole-punch notch and frameless design maximize the 86% screen-to-body ratio, prioritizing immersive viewing for media and gaming. Though not as color-rich as AMOLED panels, the IPS technology balances brightness and visibility in varied lighting. The capacitive multitouch support and high refresh rate make it ideal for dynamic content, blending practicality with modern aesthetics for a visually engaging experience. You may find Nubia Neo 2 5G a better fit, thanks to its superior display.
Camera
The Nubia Focus Pro’s 108MP main camera (f/1.75) delivers sharp, detailed photos with a wide aperture for low-light performance, supported by digital image stabilization and 4K video recording. A 32MP front camera ensures high-resolution selfies and video calls. However, the absence of optical stabilization may impact video smoothness, and macro/ultra-wide shots lack the refinement of dedicated lenses. The night mode enhances detail but risks noise or halos in darker scenes. While the camera-centric design—including a dedicated shutter button—caters to photography enthusiasts, the reliance on digital zoom and subpar secondary lenses limit versatility. For users prioritizing high-megapixel output and vibrant daytime shots, the Focus Pro excels, but it falls short for advanced imaging or professional-grade results. If you’re after a better camera, Infinix Note 40 Pro 5G could be the ideal option.
Price and Value
The Nubia Focus Pro offers strong value with a 120Hz display, 108MP camera, and 33W fast charging at a mid-range price, balancing premium features with practical design for budget-conscious users seeking immersive multimedia and photography capabilities.
Performance
The Nubia Focus Pro’s Unisoc Tiger T760/T8100 (6nm, 2.2GHz octa-core) and ARM Mali-G57 MP4 GPU deliver smooth performance for daily tasks, multitasking, and light gaming. Paired with 8GB RAM and UFS 3.1 storage, app launches and file transfers are swift. Its Antutu score of 423,297 (top 70% of devices) ensures adequate efficiency, though it falls short for heavy gaming or intensive workloads. While the processor handles media and photography well, users demanding flagship-level performance for resource-heavy apps may find it limiting. Overall, it balances efficiency and responsiveness for mid-range expectations. For an improved performance, Nubia Focus 2 Ultra is worth considering.
