There was a time when – if you wanted to have a not-too-shabby phone without emptying your bank account – you only had two choices: buy secondhand, or stick to an older model (that may not even be supported by its maker anymore). But those days are gone; nowadays, particularly if you look beyond the well-marketed major smartphone market players, you actually have numerous options.
Enter nubia V70 Design, which has features that make it a must-consider for those who want not-bad features without you spending your entire 13th month pay.
Upgrade Magazine checks nubia V70 Design, and here’s our first look.
To start, this is an entry-level unit; it’s ₱ 5,299 price tag should tell you that.
A quick check of nubia V70 Design tells you what you’d get.
The lightweight unit has 6.7-inch HD+ display (with 91% screen-to-body ratio), putting it at par (size-wise) with flagship units. With 1600 x 720 resolution, the screen should be crisp enough; and with a 120Hz refresh rate, everything should be vibrant, too.
The unit has up to 14GB (4GB + 10GB dynamic RAM) and Octa-core processor, promising “seamless multitasking”. And with 256GB ROM, you’d have more than enough memory space.
nubia V70 Design has a 50-megapixel AI camera, and – for the photo-crazy, there are AI-powered software tricks here (e.g. Magic Eraser, which cleans backgrounds in pics; RAW Super Night Shot that improves low-light photography; Magic Unblur; and Smart Gallery, which will even suggest captions for those pics).
Shipping with Android 14, the unit has “Live Island 2.0” that displays notifs, reminders, et cetera; this is, basically, nubia’s take on Apple’s Dynamic Island.
Now… with a 5000mAh battery, you should be able to use this all day long. It should help that there’s 22.5w fast charging, which is extremely particularly for those who treat their phones like baby tablets/laptops that are in need of juice all the time.
Upgrade Magazine will take a closer look at nubia V70 Design, but for now… if you’re considering getting a new unit, consider why nubia V70 Design is appealing.
