Experience Nubia Neo 3: cheap gaming phone with dedicated trigger for esports

Equipped with a trigger, 6,000mAh battery and 120Hz display, the Nubia Neo 3 model is aimed at mainstream users who love playing eSports.

In the popular phone segment, Nubia Neo 3 is a rare name that carries a strong gaming personality from design to practical experience. With a price of under 5 million VND, this model does not have the ambition to compete with other mid-range competitors in terms of configuration, but focuses on serving the right target audience of young users who love esports games, need flexible operations, long-lasting battery and smooth screen.

Bold gaming design, personality and difference of Nubia Neo 3

At first sight, Nubia Neo 3 easily impresses with its distinctive gaming design, youthful and individual style, completely different from most smartphones in the 4-5 million price range that tend to be safe and simple.

The two color versions of Nubia Neo 3 both have a youthful, gaming-inspired design.

The back of the device uses glass material, finished with circuit board simulation patterns, "Cyberpunk" style machine details, combined with a large hexagonal camera cluster and prominent NEO lettering to create a strong visual identity. The orange-red color strip, simulated technical symbols and arrow patterns have a bold modern gaming style, making the overall device very recognizable even without RGB LEDs.

The LED lights on the back of the Nubia can be customized in many modes to help users enjoy more.

The two color versions, white and black, are clearly personalized. The black version has a strong dark tone, while the white version gives a more prominent feeling, suitable for users who like a unique style. In reality, the white back reflects light gently, not too flashy but still enough to make the device stand out.

The slightly rounded design at the edges makes it comfortable to hold for long periods of time.

In addition to the camera cluster, the visual highlight also comes from the simulated fan area with a simulated engine circle pattern. Characters such as "Win more games" are embossed, helping the design not to be flat, creating depth when looking at it. Although the back design is glossy, quite easy to get fingerprints, Nubia is very practical when giving away a transparent matte case to help users protect the device while maintaining the beauty of the design, at the same time the case does not cover the edges so it still keeps the device slim and youthful.

Moderate thinness and trigger designed precisely at the index finger position will make the gaming experience more precise and engaging.

The frame is gently rounded, not too square, making it comfortable to hold even when playing games for a long time. The overall weight is balanced, not too heavy, combined with the prominent red border on the side to create a colorful highlight. The notable point is that the two physical trigger touch areas are cleverly placed on the right side, blending into the overall design without breaking the aesthetics. When playing games, these triggers are effective, light operation, without requiring strong pressing force like in the hard button design.

Performance enough for esports games, well optimized via Game Space

Although it is classified as a popular gaming phone, Nubia Neo 3 still provides a fairly stable experience thanks to the Unisoc T8300 8-core configuration, 8GB RAM (supports an additional 12GB expansion) and 256GB internal memory. The 4G version will have a more modest memory (128GB) and Unisoc T8100 processor, but the performance experience in reality is almost no different.

The performance test with Antutu Benchmark V10.5.1 reached nearly 470,000 points, while AI Benchmark (AITUTU) reached 45,922 points, a number that shows the ability to handle daily tasks as well as playing popular esports games. In fact, the strength of Neo 3 lies in the accompanying software, when integrated with Game Space, a modern, intuitive interface, providing full information on FPS, CPU/GPU usage, battery temperature, network speed...

When testing PUBG Mobile , the FPS is stable at around 55-60fps at reasonable settings. Games like Lien Quan and Free Fire maintain stable frames, without FPS drops after a long time. With heavier games like Genshin Impact, the device can still handle low graphics, but it is not strong.

The commendable highlight in the actual experience is the physical touch trigger on the edge, which makes the operation much more flexible than the traditional touch button. When playing FPS games like PUBG Mobile, this trigger helps to clearly separate the shooting and aiming operations: the index finger takes on the role of pulling the trigger through the trigger, while the thumb focuses on controlling the aiming point, helping to control the recoil better. Thanks to that, continuous shooting and maintaining high accuracy becomes more natural than when using only 1 finger for both operations on the screen.

In addition to the performance indicators, Nubia also added the Split Charge feature, when turned on, the phone only receives power directly instead of charging the battery while playing games, helping to reduce temperature, stabilize performance and protect the battery better during long gaming sessions. This is a feature commonly found in flagship models but surprisingly appears in this popular model.

Utilities in Game Space allow you to lock screen rotation, record gameplay, adjust simulated fan speed, adjust physical trigger sensitivity, etc., creating a clearly personalized experience for users. Swiping while playing games to quickly open these tools also helps to limit interruptions.

General assessment

At a price of under 5 million VND, Nubia Neo 3 brings a lot of practical value to users who need a device that serves well the needs of playing esports games, basic entertainment and long-term use. The device possesses a series of advantages that are hard to find in the same price range: bold gaming design, touch triggers that support flexible FPS operations, smooth 120Hz screen and durable 6,000mAh battery.

Although it does not have outstanding performance compared to competitors using stronger Snapdragon or MediaTek chips, Neo 3 still ensures stability thanks to well-optimized Game Space software, reasonable cooling system, and Separate Charging feature to protect the battery when playing games.

This is a suitable choice for the general group of gamers, young users who love unique designs, need a phone with a large screen, strong battery, and convenient operation in the game. If the actual value and gaming experience are the criteria, Nubia Neo 3 is a name worth considering in the segment.
