ZTE Nubia Music 2 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

ZTE Nubia Music 2 - an inexpensive smartphone with a speaker function

The Chinese company ZTE tries to surprise its fans even in the low price segment of the smartphone market. If you can't jump over your head in terms of technical specifications due to a serious increase in the final cost, then it is quite possible to please customers with a bright design and impressive sound. The hero of today's review has these qualities.

As noted earlier, the appearance of the new product is very original and memorable. The unusual colors of the back panels attract the eye, the design of the camera block and one of the speakers is also interesting. By the way, there are three of them in the phone, the maximum volume reaches 95 dB with a relatively flat frequency response. The result would be decent even for flagships costing 10 times more. As for the exterior, a positive impression of it is also achieved due to the side fingerprint scanner, the current form factor of the 5-megapixel selfie camera. The 6.7-inch IPS display itself pleases with not very wide frames, smoothness of the picture at a 120-Hz refresh rate, realistic color rendition. But the clarity at HD+ resolution is low, and the brightness is not enough. This is especially noticeable in direct sunlight.

The UNISOC Tiger T7200 processor, 4 GB of RAM and the Mali G57MC1 video accelerator are a balanced combination for the price category, but you should not expect performance records from it. About 250 thousand points in the AnTuTu test indicate that the chipset will cope with the Android 14 interface. You should not count on launching resource-intensive gaming applications, in addition, projects like Genshin Impact will often crash to the desktop due to the small amount of RAM. But the device functions for about two days from a 5000 mAh battery. It's a pity that they saved a lot on the charging power, with 10W you'll have to stay near the socket for a very long time. The internal storage is 128 GB, which can always be expanded with MicroSD cards.

The main 50 and 0.3-megapixel photo modules are not designed for artistic photography, but daytime shots with due skill turn out pretty good. Poor lighting conditions turn photos into an abundance of noise. Music lovers will be able to enjoy their favorite music through wired headphones, for which a separate jack is provided. There are also contactless NFC payments, thanks to which you can leave your wallet with bank cards at home. Thus, we have before us not the most productive, but original and stylish device, the purchase of which will not cause disappointment.
