ZTE nubia Neo 5 Max Review: Full Specs, Pros, and Cons

A unique and ambitious "PadPhone" experience aimed squarely at gamers who want a very large screen and a massive battery in one device instead of carrying a phone and a separate handheld console — but its very large size and lack of official availability in the Arab region right now make it a niche pick for a specific type of user.

+A massive 7.5-inch display, unique in its class
+A huge cooling system exceeding 30,000mm²
+7,100mAh battery with an emergency gaming mode

−IPS, not AMOLED, display
−Misleading marketing of actual RAM capacity
−No wireless charging
