If the iPhone Air represents the thin and light trend in the high-end segment, the Nubia Air recreates that at a price of under 7 million. The device is only 5.9 mm thick, weighs 172 g but still has a 5000 mAh battery - a number that is superior to many thin and light models today. In addition, the IP69 water resistance also makes the Nubia Air a rare choice in the popular smartphone group.
Design and finish on Nubia Air
Nubia Air leaves a strong impression with its thinness of only 5.9 mm - a number rarely seen even in high-end models. The weight of 172 g makes the device light, easy to hold in one hand for a long time without getting tired. From the side view, this thinness makes the body almost flat with the table surface, and the rear camera cluster is also less protruding than the iPhone Air, creating a neater feeling when put in the pocket.
Nubia Air has a simple but impressive design style with a cluster of 3 cameras placed horizontally on the back.

The back cover is finished in a matte plastic form, good grip and limited fingerprints. The rear camera cluster is arranged in a rectangular frame with rounded corners, placed horizontally in the upper left corner. This design is quite balanced, not creating the feeling of taking up too much space. Of which, only the main 50 MP camera is really useful, the two secondary sensors are mainly for support.
The Nubia Air's frame is thin, the surface is seamless, the buttons are neatly arranged on the side, and the response is stable. The bottom edge has a USB-C port, a physical SIM slot, and an external speaker. Maintaining a physical dual SIM tray is a plus in the context that many manufacturers have switched to eSIM.
On the front, the 6.78-inch AMOLED screen occupies the entire display space with quite thin four-sided bezels. The front camera is placed in the center punch hole, balanced with the overall. The screen is protected by Gorilla Glass 7i, limiting scratches during use.

When placed next to the iPhone Air, the Nubia Air is no less thin, and even better in terms of camera optimization. However, in terms of seamlessness in materials and finishing, the Nubia Air has not yet reached the standards of the iPhone, but in return, it offers a reasonable design in the popular segment.
Performance and overall experience
Nubia Air uses Unisoc T8300 processor, maximum clock speed 2.2 GHz, comes with 8 GB RAM (expandable by 12 GB) and 256 GB internal memory. In actual testing, the device achieved 592,215 AnTuTu points, equal to Snapdragon 6 Gen 3. CPU score reached more than 250,000, while GPU was only approximately 40,000, showing that graphics processing capability is not strong. Therefore, the device meets basic needs such as surfing the web, watching movies and playing games at a moderate level.
The specifications on the Nubia Air are quite high compared to phones in the same price segment.

The 6.78-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 1224 x 2720 pixels supports a refresh rate of 120 Hz, allowing flexible customization from 60 Hz to 120 Hz. Actual experience shows that when watching videos , the displayed colors are quite fresh and the brightness is enough to see clearly outdoors.
Regarding the screen, Nubia provides a sharp image experience with a high refresh rate of 120hz.

In terms of battery, the 5000 mAh capacity becomes a prominent advantage while the device still maintains a thickness of less than 6 mm. Combined with 33 W fast charging, the device meets a long day of use without worrying much about recharging.

The most surprising point is the water resistance: Nubia Air not only meets the IP68 standard but also supports IP69 and IP69K, which are often used for industrial equipment. Testing under water shows that the device still works normally, confirming its superior durability compared to many other popular smartphones.

The triple rear camera cluster includes a 50 MP main sensor, accompanied by two 2 MP and 0.08 MP secondary sensors. The camera application offers many modes such as document shooting, panorama, vlog or multiple exposure. In bright enough conditions, photos reproduce good details, balanced colors, but the ability to record videos only stops at Full HD 30 FPS. Sound is still limited when Nubia Air only has a single speaker, moderate volume but lacks bass, not creating a complete entertainment experience.
General assessment
Nubia Air demonstrates a rare balance in the popular smartphone segment under 7 million VND. The device has a super thin 5.9 mm design, light weight but still maintains a 5000 mAh battery and IP68, IP69 and IP69K water resistance - standards that often appear on high-end lines. The 120 Hz AMOLED screen provides a smooth visual experience, enough for entertainment and daily work needs.
In terms of performance, the Nubia Air performs well for basic tasks, while maintaining stability when playing popular games. The 50 MP main camera and multi-mode shooting interface are sufficient for common situations, while the large battery capacity combined with 33 W fast charging ensures convenience.
With a price much cheaper than the iPhone Air, Nubia Air opens up a reasonable choice for users who need a thin, light smartphone with a strong and durable battery. This is a practical device, suitable for long-term use in the popular segment.
