ZTE introduces the Nubia Air Pro, a smartphone that prioritizes extreme thinness and durability without sacrificing core performance metrics. The device targets users who need a rugged, lightweight phone for daily use or athletic activities, offering a unique form factor in the mid-range market. Its 5.99 mm thickness and IP69K rating distinguish it from standard slab designs, while the inclusion of a specialized wristband accessory adds practical utility for fitness tracking.
ZTE launches ultra-thin rugged phone with sports tracking wristband
The Nubia Air Pro runs on a MediaTek Dimensity 7100 processor paired with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB to 512 GB of storage options. A 6.77-inch AMOLED display drives the interface with a 144 Hz refresh rate and a peak HDR brightness of 4,500 nits. This screen setup supports fast scrolling and high-contrast visuals, while the 5,000 mAh battery ensures all-day power for typical usage patterns.
Specifications
- Thickness: 5.99 mm
- Weight: 172 grams
- Main Camera: 108 MP
- Display: 6.77-inch AMOLED, 144 Hz
- Battery: 5,000 mAh
Photography capabilities center on a 108 MP main camera and a 32 MP selfie sensor located in a punch-hole cutout. The device weighs 172 grams, maintaining a manageable profile despite its robust IP69K certification for dust and water resistance. Charging occurs via USB-C at speeds up to 45 watts, allowing for relatively quick power replenishment between uses.
ZTE includes a wristband accessory that attaches the phone to the user's upper arm for sports mode functionality. This configuration enables GPS tracking for steps, calories burned, and distance traveled during physical activity. The European pricing for the 8 GB/512 GB variant is set at 350 EUR (around $398), with availability in the region expected soon.
Potential buyers should note that previous Nubia Air models were thicker than advertised, so the 5.99 mm claim may vary in practice. ZTE has not released specifications for a second camera sensor, leaving the full imaging setup partially undefined. The phone represents a niche option for those prioritizing durability and fitness integration over premium camera systems.
