ZTE Nubia Focus 5G

Another ZERO star. This phone is atrocious. Bought this make/model brand new through an Optus outlet deal and since delivery the phone has given nothing but trouble. This phone would automatically shutdown randomly when connected to PC via USB. It will also randomly not connect to PC for internet use via USB straight tethering. The phone cases… Read more

computer glitches and has weak Wi-Fi connection. The phone is very sluggish. Factory resetting did not fix the issue. Resetting PC did not fix the issue. Phone is only 12 days old at the time of writing this review. Battery drain fast. I have never hear of this brand but decided to give it a try due to being a cheap deal, and like the old saying goes: "you get what you pay for"! I do not recommend this phone.

Ok for the price, with great battery life. Do not get this phone if you rely on emails (using the Gmail app) Good camera for photos, ok for videos Email sync is very slow, nothing is instant especially when everything requires multifactor authentication now, emails come through half an an hour later When sending emails, emails sit in outbox for a… Read more

day before it sends, not sure why one email is queued for so long Everything else seems to work ok but very slow to load apps

Great value for money 5G phone – I have been using this handset since it became available and purchased it outright as that is what I tend to do. The spec's looked good and I have had other nubia (ZTE) devices in the past so I was confident in it being a safe purchase.

Spec's wise this handset is very usable as a gaming handset and / or business phone. It's main feature thou is the main camera, which is 108MP. It does take nice pics and video and there is alot of options to play with in the camera app. That isn't my area of need. I just wanted a new phone and saw this was out.

What I like - It's 5G, has Android Auto for conecting to my new car, Great sound as I listen to music and podcasts all the time and the battery life, display and camera (if I bother to use it) are excellent as well.

The only thing I don't like is that it is missing the microSD slot / support so my main method of listening to my personal music collection is made more difficult. There is 256GB roughly of storage internally, so I just put an album or two on it if I really feel like listening to something from my collection, otherwise I just resort to Spotify with the ads (free version).

Now I have been using it and can't knock it. The only things that I recommend are ensure that you allow the phone to do it's updates (there are OS updates too), at least once a week restart the handset since Android needs this (not a specific handset issue, just the OS functions better if it is restarted regularly.
