nubia officially debuted the Neo 5 smartphone series in the Philippines on March 28. The technology company introduced the nubia Neo 5, Neo 5 Pro, and Neo 5 GT models during a public event at SM Megamall Fashion Hall. These new devices offer high-refresh-rate displays, large batteries, and hardware specific to mobile players.
The top-tier nubia Neo 5 GT model utilizes a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 processor. The device provides up to 12GB of base RAM and 512GB of internal storage. Users view content on a 6.8-inch 1.5K OLED display. This screen reaches a 144Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 4,500 nits.
nubia equipped the new series with a built-in active fan and a large vapor chamber temperature panel. This internal system removes the need for external fan accessories. A 6,210mAh battery powers the Neo 5 GT. The phone supports 80W rapid power delivery and includes a charge separation feature to bypass the battery during extended player sessions.
The Neo 5 GT model features a 50MP main camera and a 16MP front camera. The phones retain shoulder triggers for interactive controls. Small exhaust vents sit on both sides of the phone. The company offers the GT variant in Phantom Black, Stellar Silver, and Electro Gold colors.
The base nubia Neo 5 model costs PhP 11,999 for the 8GB RAM and 128GB storage configuration. The Neo 5 Pro variant retails for PhP 14,999. The Neo 5 GT starts at PhP 17,999. The launch event included appearances from brand ambassador Sanya Lopez and the ONIC Philippines esports team.
