A new budget-friendly smartphone designed for gamers has just been launched in the East: the nubia Neo 5 Pro 5G, featuring a pair of side triggers for gaming, vibration motors, and advanced SoC cooling.
Inside its IP64-certified water- and dust-resistant body lies the UNISOC T9100 processor—which is actually a rebranded UNISOC T820—scoring around 700,000 points on Antutu v11, making it quite capable for gaming.
Finally, the operating system is Android 16 with the MyOS 16 overlay, which, as expected, integrates various photo editing tools, games, and other AI-powered features.
