Design and Display

You could say the design draws some inspiration from Essential Phone and has a typical glass build common to most flagships these days. The smartphone has a rather appealing design and much bezel cut backs than normal which is great.

It is available in three different finish, a Nebula Red another Deep Dark Night Black and a special edition design. The special edition version has Vincent van Gogh’s Starry night painting design and it looks beautiful.

About the screen of the smartphone, which is a bit average for a flagship but the display coverage is commendable. Like I stated earlier, the notch at the top is round and very much smaller than the conventional one making room for more display area. The size of the display is 5.99-inch and yes it is LCD not OLED which is definitely a bit on a low compared to others as the resolution is just Full HD+.

Battery and Camera

You’ve got your fair share of power on the smartphone alongside some optimization to prolong usage. Hinted to to go up to 2 days with the Nubia Neo Power 3.0 cutting down on background operations. The 4, 000mAh capacity battery can be refilled using the latest Qualcomm fast charge technology – Quick Charge 4.0.

By the spec sheet, you can guess the camera on the smartphone is a mouthful and an impressive one at that. The primary camera is an f/1.6 aperture 16MP camera with OIS and PDAF while it is assisted by a secondary 24MP camera. In the circular notch you have an 8MP camera with all the AI rave we have in high-end smartphones.

Hardware and Software

For a snappy flagship worth performance there has to be the best of the chipset and for the ZTE Nubia Z18 it has the fore runner Qualcomm SoC. Same as a number of flagship this year, the smartphone has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor paired with Adreno 630. There is also a Neo Power Temperature Control which is likely a cooling system or a tegulator to ease performance.

Furthermore, you can get the 6GB RAM variant with 64GB ROM or you can opt for an 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage option Since there is no support for a memory card or any other type of expansion, it is better to be more careful with your choice. The smartphone has Android 8.1 Oreo on it as well as Nubia UI 6.0 layed on top.
