Nubia, known for its "bezel-less" mobile phones, has a natural technological advantage in the era of full screens. However, subject to cost, its thousand-yuan full-screen mobile phoneV18 appears more conservative on the screen, equipped with a 6.01-inch 2160x1080 resolution screen, its upper and lower parts are not completely symmetrical, "chin" is much wider than "forehead". The back of the body is made of 3D laser engraving process, the body is rounded, the feel is excellent, and the addition of 6 coatings also makes the body will not easily leave fingerprints. The left side of the V18 fuselage adds an independent "Maverick Voice" button, retaining the 3.5mm headphone jack and Micro USB data port. However, its body is wide, making it difficult to hold in one hand.
The V18 is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor, which is more common in thousand-yuan machines, and its performance-to-power ratio is excellent, and the fluency of daily use is acceptable, but it is difficult to run large-scale 3D games such as "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds: Exciting Battlefield". However, in terms of storage capacity, at present, V18 only has 4GB and 64GB to choose from. In terms of battery life, the V18 has a built-in 4000mAh battery, and the system has NeoPower 3.0 power-saving technology, which can be charged once every two days without heavy use. Unfortunately, it doesn't support fast charging, and comes standard with a 5V 2A charger.
The V18 is not equipped with dual cameras, and only carries a 13-million-pixel f/2.2 aperture camera, which is the Hi846 provided by Hynix, which is relatively rare. The V18 performs well in good light, but white balance is less accurate and focus is slower. In night scenes, the V18 performs poorly, with heavy smudging, a lack of detail, low forgiveness, and noticeable drops in focus and shutter speed. Fortunately, Nubia does not emasculate the functions of the V18 camera, and the photo modes such as electronic aperture and star trail are consistent with their flagship models, and the playability is strong.
In terms of system, the V18 is equipped with nubia UI 5.1 based on Android 7.1.2. Its biggest highlight is the "Maverick Voice", which is similar to the "Flash Capsule" function of Smartisan OS, but slightly simplified. Users can press and hold the independent Maverick voice button to speak, convert speech to text and send it to other apps, or perform operations such as finding contacts, opening apps, and more. In addition to this, the V18 also adds features such as facial recognition, game mode, edge gestures, and more. Among them, edge gestures can recognize five gestures, such as edge sliding in, edge up/down, and performing operations such as switching or launching applications, and adjusting brightness.
