ZTE Nubia Focus 2 5G

The ZTE Nubia Focus 2 5G has a straightforward design with a thickness of 7.95mm, giving it a reasonably slim profile for a standard-sized smartphone. It is neither a rugged nor a foldable device, and it carries no water resistance rating, meaning it offers no certified protection against moisture or dust exposure.

The display on this device is a 6.7″ IPS LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels and a pixel density of 262 ppi, delivering a reasonably sharp image for everyday use. It supports a 120Hz refresh rate, which contributes to smoother scrolling and more responsive interaction. The screen does not include branded damage-resistant glass, an Always-On Display mode, or support for HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision, and there is no secondary screen present.

The device is powered by the Unisoc Tanggula T760, a 7nm chipset featuring an octa-core CPU configuration split across two clusters — four cores at 2.2GHz and four at 1.8GHz — using big.LITTLE technology, with 8 threads in total. It is paired with 8GB of LPDDR4 RAM running at 2133MHz across two memory channels, with a maximum supported memory capacity of 32GB, though ECC memory is not supported. Storage sits at 256GB internally, and graphics are handled by the integrated Mali-G57 GPU with a turbo clock of 650MHz, supporting DirectX 12, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 2.0. The chipset supports 64-bit processing, includes integrated LTE, and features TrustZone security technology. Geekbench 5 results show a multi-core score of 2155 and a single-core score of 541.

The rear camera system is a dual-lens setup combining a 108MP primary sensor at f/1.8 and a 2MP secondary lens at f/2.4, both using a CMOS sensor without back-illumination. The main camera supports 4K video recording at 30fps, continuous autofocus during video, phase-detection autofocus for stills, touch autofocus, slow-motion recording, timelapse, burst mode, HDR, and in-camera panoramas. Manual controls cover exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, though manual shutter speed and RAW capture are not available. There is no optical image stabilization or optical zoom, and the single LED flash is not dual-tone or RGB. On the front, a 16MP single-lens camera handles selfies without a dedicated flash or under-display placement. HDR10 and Dolby Vision recording are not supported, nor are 3D or 360-degree capture modes.

The device runs Android 15 and comes with a solid set of privacy controls, including clipboard warnings, location privacy options, camera and microphone access management, and the ability to block app tracking, though cross-site tracking blocking and Mail Privacy Protection are absent. On the customization side, it supports dark mode, dynamic theming, theme customization, widgets, and customizable notifications, while focus modes and Wi-Fi password sharing are not available. Productivity features include split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, full-page screenshots, a media picker, sharing intents, app offloading, and the ability to play games while they download. The OS also offers on-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, voice commands, Live Text, device tracking, multi-user support, a child lock, battery health check, and an extra dim display mode. Direct OS updates from the vendor are not supported, and Quick Start is not present.

The device is equipped with a 5000 mAh rechargeable, non-removable battery that supports 22.5W wired fast charging, and a charger is included in the box. Wireless charging is not available. A battery level indicator is present, giving users a clear view of remaining charge at a glance.

The audio setup includes stereo speakers, but omits a 3.5mm headphone jack, so wired headphones would require an adapter. There is no radio tuner, and none of the Bluetooth audio codecs — aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, or LDAC — are supported, which limits high-quality wireless audio transmission options.

The device supports 5G connectivity and accommodates two SIM cards, with Wi-Fi coverage spanning Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac). It includes a USB Type-C port running on USB 2.0, NFC, and a fingerprint scanner for biometric authentication, while 3D facial recognition and an iris scanner are absent. Navigation is covered by GPS with Galileo support, and onboard sensors include a gyroscope, accelerometer, and compass, though a barometer, heart rate monitor, infrared sensor, and motion or optical tracking are not present. ANT+, DLNA, satellite SOS, and crash detection are all unsupported, and there is no HDMI output, built-in projector, or included stylus.

Among the remaining notable attributes, the device includes a video light to assist with illumination during video recording. The display is flat rather than curved and uses neither sapphire glass nor an e-paper panel.
