ZTE Corporation, a global leader in technology and innovation, announces the availability on the Romanian market of the ultra-slim nubia Air smartphone. It marks a major step forward in the “Air-style” segment, combining a massive 5,000 mAh battery, a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution and top waterproof certifications – IP69K, IP69 and IP68 – in a spectacular design with a bezel only 5.9 mm thick and weighing only 172 grams.
In line with the “Be yourself” brand philosophy, the nubia Air features flagship-level aesthetics, durability and a deeply integrated AI experience and is available through ZTE’s distribution channel at a price starting at 1299 Lei.
Flagship design
For years, the challenge in smartphone design has been to integrate a big battery and a big screen into an incredibly thin and light body. nubia pushes those boundaries:
- ultra-thin bezel of just 5.9 mm
- massive 5000mAh battery that supports over 1000 charge cycles,
- AI power-saving technology with over 3 years of reliable daily use.
The design is complemented by sleek metal bezel with ultra-thin edges, refined rounded corners and optimized ergonomics for comfort and wrist protection in heavy use (gaming, video, selfies).
Premium display and extreme durability
For years, one of the biggest challenges in smartphone design has been integrating a high-capacity battery and generous display into an extremely thin and lightweight body, but Nubia has pushed the limits of what was considered possible. Despite its ultra-slim frame of just 5.9 mm, the nubia Air integrates a massive 5,000 mAh battery capable of sustaining over 1,000 charge cycles, combined with nubia’s AI-powered power-saving technology, giving users more than three years of reliable daily use.
This smartphone stands out with a sleek metal frame, premium ultra-thin bezels, smoother and enhanced rounded corners, and an ergonomic design that ensures a perfectly balanced and comfortable grip, protecting the user’s wrist during extended gaming sessions, watching videos or taking selfies.
Impressive display and top-notch durability
The nubia Air features a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with 6.78-inch, 1224 × 2720 (1.5K) resolution, 440 PPI density, 120 Hz refresh rate and 100% DCI-P3 coverage, achieving a maximum brightness of 4500 nits – clear and vibrant even in direct sunlight. The screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i, twice as resistant to drops on hard surfaces like asphalt. In addition, it’s IP68 and IP69 certified, with industrial IP69K protection, which means it can withstand submersion up to 1.5m for 30 minutes, water jets at temperatures of 80°C and high pressures. The construction is reinforced by an aluminum alloy frame, with increased thickness of the tactile frame (+30%) and internal reinforcements on the corners.
Durability has been rigorously tested:
- 600,000 touch resistance tests
- 6000 continuous drop tests
- 600 repeated roll tests
- 5 rounds of free falls
