According to the latest leak, the Nubia might launch an ultra-thin mid-ranger dubbed ‘Nubia Air’ before Apple’s forthcoming iPhone 17 Air arrives. The interesting bit here is that the information arrive via @evleaks who has been a prominent tipster with accurate leaks on tech gadgets. However, Nubia looks to capitalize on this trend first with a new ultra-thin version of its own.
The rumored Nubia Air has a slim 6.7mm thickness, one of the slimmest in its segment Interestingly, despite the slim design Nubia has managed to cram in a massive 5,000mAh battery. That blend of style with the battery could differentiate it from others in the budget phone market.
It is also said that the Nubia Air will pack a 6.78-inch OLED screen, providing a clear and colorful visual experience. The processor will be a UNISOC T8300 SoC with 8GB of RAM and 256GB onboard storage. This does not mean that the Nubia Air will be able to perform at levels close to those of some of the best flagships out there, as this device is likely designed for day-to-day usage.
In terms of cameras, the Nubia Air may include a 50MP main camera paired with two additional lenses (2MP and 0.08MP). At the front should be a 20MP in display camera for selfies and video calls. All of those specs seem to make this a competitor for not a top-tier phone, but rather one determined to win in the mid-range space.
The largest hoax that was quickly confirmed as a fake by the time Apple launched its iPhone 17 Air with its world-record-breaking waistline of 5.8mm. It is not as thin as the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, which measure only 6.9mm thick. If all that pans out, Nubia may be able to lure in customers looking for an ultra-thin device without having to pony up flagship pricing.
Price details have not been announced just yet, but being a Nubia device we can be assured of an affordable price. Considering the leak is correct, this could cause a rift in the mid-range market and provide Nubia with some limelight before the iPhone 17 Air from Apple.
