Slim smartphones are emerging as a key trend in 2025, and the nubia Air is ZTE’s latest entry. The device measures 6.7 mm at its thickest point, with the midframe narrowing to 5.9 mm, and weighs 172 g. Despite its slim profile, it carries an IP68/IP69K rating for dust and water resistance, including protection against pressurized hot water jets.
The nubia Air features a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1,224 × 2,720 pixels, a 120Hz refresh rate, 4,500 nits peak brightness, and Gorilla Glass 7i protection. A 20MP front-facing camera sits in a punch-hole cutout, while an in-display fingerprint scanner is positioned at the bottom of the screen.
On the back, the phone includes a 50MP main camera, a 2MP depth sensor, and a 0.08MP auxiliary lens. It is powered by the Unisoc T8300 chipset with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. A 5,000mAh battery supports 33W charging.
The device will be available in Titanium Black, Streamer Black, and Titanium Desert. Launch pricing in Europe is set at €250, with availability to follow in Southeast Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East.
