    This is what I called real gaming design. Boxy all around the corners. I hope more phones will adopt this design choice.

      Or something for next year models

        But within reason with size
        But just a little bigger yea

        This is a smartphone but I do think going with a 7.2 inch screen with housing around the corner and thicker bezels for hand room and camera placement that does not interface with the screen In any way or even pop up selfie camera

        I think making this smartphone a little thicker for SSD boot drive and 9000mah battery would make a huge difference and improvements
        Use the extra thickness on sides for USB ports
        X2 USB and a HDMI port plus sd card slot

        There the main improvements I want

        Of course gamers need push Nubia in this direction too make the gaming phone the true equivalent of the gaming laptop but the phone version for mobile games hopefully something like wine comes too android too run windows games though a compatibility layer as well

        Full size desktop games are coming too android so we will need a lot of storage space soon for game library soon if not already

        512gb or 1tb storage really should become standard bigger opinion would be nice too have also

        We want bigger battery even greater battery life
        We want ssd boot drive for forever smoothness
        Please sd card slot

              a gaming phone!

                Once again i am surprised and disappointed by GSMarena.
                A mobile site, how much they downplayed the display underscreen selfie camera.
                They treat this gaming phone, like every other fashion phone, where the priority is instagram photos. ZTE here delivers innovation and offering more productive screen estate, much more important than wide screen cams for games, a trully wonderful cooling system for sustained performance and super touch sampling speed ltpo displays cant handle yet.
                They barely even mention they exist, they keep promoting what they want to promote, completely ignoring the needs of the people

                  What you guys think of using this phone as a normal phone? I dont play games on it. I wanna switch from Mi 10

Almost no one playing long time with more than 60hz refresh rate, the phone will heating so much even iphone with active cooler wont stand the heat.

                      This looks like a good phone, ngl.

                        LMAO at the low light front camera photos
                        And this is supposed to be 2nd gen UDC tech

                          And they exist. But not here. This is a gaming PHONE.

                            Amazing screen. No camera punch hole, super small rounded corners. Almost no bezels. Just perfect.
                            I hope that they will make variation with slower CPU (so that the fan would be unnecessary) and a much better camera with OIS. I would definitely buy it.

                              AnonD-1058210, 17 Jan 2023Could be bigger if it is for gaming.. at least 7''TOO TRUE.......
                              STILL waiting for ANY of these so-called "gaming" phones to go 7.5 or 8 inches.......they're NOT gaming dedicated unless you have more space on the screen !!!!

                                Finally a gaming phone that doesnt look like it is designed for 12 year old kids playing fortnite on it. Im very willing to try a gaming device one day since I like their specs alot.

                                  If this can give 131hour battery endurance with its poor optimisation then other gaming phones will do better. Dont get a snapdragon 8gen1+ device because snapdragon 8 gen 2 is a game changer both in battery and performance. Lack of hdr certification is poor because my xiaomi 12tpro has it all with a similar non ltpo display..although mine has way more colours available. 120hz on a gaming phone is not good enough considering Motorola and IQ are doing 144hz refresh, infact I think previous redmagic phones came with 144hz and 165hz panels. This one is not good enough.
