The ZTE-affiliated brand, nubia, has unveiled its latest device, the Neo 5 Max, which the company is positioning as a "PadPhone," a category that no longer exists. The Neo 5 Max is essentially a tablet with a 7.5-inch 1.5K 120 Hz 1,000-nit AMOLED display, offering a larger screen than typical smartphones but still more portable than a traditional tablet.
In addition to the immersive screen real estate, the Neo 5 Max features "precision controls of a gaming console, the eye comfort of a dedicated e-reader, and the portability of a smartphone." The device also incorporates an SGS-certified display with True DC Dimming, Ambient Light Adaptation, and dedicated Reading and Night modes for enhanced eye comfort.
Inside the Neo 5 Max, there's a Dual-Layer Capillary Vapour Chamber that claims a 140% boost in thermal efficiency, along with a 3D Raised VC Pane for maintaining a peak temperature of 38.4 degrees Celsius during an hour-long session of gaming at 90fps. The phone is powered by a 7,100 mAh battery capable of 13.4 hours of gaming and supports 45W charging, 10W reverse charging, and bypass charging.
The Neo 5 Max is equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 7100 chipset, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage, priced at RM1,399. It's already available for purchase, but a 512GB variant will be released next month. The Neo 5 Max can be purchased from physical retail outlets and listed on various e-commerce platforms, though purchasing through those channels is not yet available.
