The nubia V60 Design (model number Z2350) arrived on my desk promising a compelling blend of style and functionality at a budget-friendly price point. This in-depth review covers my experience using the Champagne Gold variant with its 6GB+10GB expandable RAM and 256GB of internal storage. Over the past few weeks, I’ve put this phone through its paces, subjecting it to a variety of real-world scenarios to get a true sense of its capabilities.

Key Features

The nubia V60 Design boasts a 6.6-inch IPS LCD display with a 720×1612 resolution, powered by the Unisoc T606 octa-core processor clocked at 1.6GHz. It runs on Android 13 and features a sizable 5000mAh battery. The dual SIM capability and 256GB of internal storage add further convenience. The 50MP primary camera and 8-11.9MP secondary camera are noteworthy features given its price point. The phone supports 4G network connectivity and charges via a Type-C port. The Champagne Gold finish adds a touch of elegance.

Performance & Battery Life

In daily use, the V60 Design performs adequately for everyday tasks. Browsing, social media, and light gaming were all handled smoothly. However, more demanding applications and games showed some limitations, with occasional lag and stuttering noticeable. This is expected given the processor specifications. The 5000mAh battery is a standout feature, easily lasting a full day even with heavy usage. Fast charging wasn’t exceptionally quick, but it consistently provided enough power to keep up with my daily routine.

Camera Performance

The 50MP primary camera performed surprisingly well in good lighting conditions, delivering sharp and detailed images. Low-light performance was less impressive, with noticeable noise and reduced detail. The secondary camera is suitable for everyday snapshots. Overall, for a budget smartphone, the camera capabilities are acceptable, but don’t expect professional-grade results.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Long battery life, large storage, decent primary camera performance in good light, attractive design, affordable price.
• Cons: Processor struggles with demanding tasks, low-light camera performance could be improved, display resolution could be higher.

Final Verdict

The nubia V60 Design Z2350 is a solid budget smartphone that excels in battery life and storage. Its design is appealing, and the camera performs adequately for everyday use. While it’s not a powerhouse performer, it’s a reliable and affordable option for those who prioritize battery life and storage capacity over top-tier processing power. If you’re on a tight budget and need a phone that can last a full day on a single charge, the nubia V60 Design is definitely worth considering. However, if performance is your top priority, you might want to explore other options.
