Here’s the thing with unboxing gadgets: you (usually) have to reserve your judgments until after you have turned on the gadgets because, TBH, you won’t be able to see how good (or bad) any unit is until it is turned on and, yes, until you’ve checked how it functions. But now and then, a gadget comes along that is so catchy it makes you want to consider grabbing one… now na.
That’s the thought that came to mind after seeing nubia Music Pro, described as “a music-centric smartphone built for true audio lovers” as it comes in a “vinyl-inspired design” that’s “crafted to stand out in both sound and style”.
This is just the unboxing (a more extensive review will be done later, so just you wait for that, too), but here are some observations:
But again, it’s the retro design that immediately captures the attention. Meaning, if you’re into Pop Art, then this one definitely is worth checking out. And that’s a good way to call attention in this already-saturated smartphone market, no?
