FULL STORY
======================================================================

ZTE took the covers off its Nubia Neo 2 5G MWC 2024 , unveiling a gaming 
phone that costs just $199. 

Much like its predecessor the ZTE Nubia Neo 5G, the Neo 2 is designed to 
offer solid gaming phone specs to people who dont have the cash to splash on 
high-end gaming phones like the Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro . 

Despite its relatively affordable price, the Nubia Neo 2 has some decent 
gaming specs. Theres a 6.72-inch 120Hz refresh rate display, up to 256GB of 
UFS 3.1 storage, and a large 6000mAh battery that supports 33W fast charging. 
ZTE didn't detail the chipset the phone will be using, but it sports an 
8-core CPU with a clock speed of up to 2.7GHz. 

The Neo 2 also has up to 20GB of what Nubia is calling dynamic RAM - ZTE 
didnt explain what this is, but if it functions the same as the previous Neo 
it could mean 10GB of physical RAM thats then augmented by using internal 
storage to act as virtual RAM. (Image credit: ZTE) 

As a gaming phone, the Neo 2 also includes built-in shoulder triggers for 
precise control when holding the phone in landscape orientation. And these 
can be customized for various game actions; think the familiar tapping of the 
right trigger to shoot, and the left to throw a grenade in shooters. 

The overall shape and design of the Neo 2 dont appear to have changed too 
much from its predecessor. It sports a similar sci-fi, mech-inspired design 
and looks like it will be available in the same black and yellow colorways. 
However, the camera system appears to have changed to an octagon-shaped rear 
camera module. 

The rest of the specifications, like the camera type of display, are not 
known at this time. But the phone's main attraction will be its low-price of 
$199, significantly lower than many of the best gaming phones and most 
mid-range phones. 

The Neo 2 also features the latest version of its Game Space software, 
present on some Redmagic gaming phones. It allows users to customize the 
gaming experience, including choosing between three performance modes and 
tweaking audio and notification settings. 

Overall, the Nubia Neo 2 looks like it has the specs and features to be an 
intriguing budget gaming phone, though itll be interesting to see what 
compromises have been made to enable ZTE to offer it at such a low price. You
