Nubia N1 64GB Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Ketaki Bhojnagarwala]()
Verdict
With the N1, nubia aimed to cash in on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3`s immense popularity. The two phones have a lot in common – similar build and design, 5.5-inch displays and huge batteries. But unfortunately, nubia got the timing wrong. The newly launched Redmi Note 4 (review), which is priced at Rs 9,999 onwards offers far more compelling features and performance, and the powerful Snapdragon 625 chipset makes it a no-brainer. The N1 will also have to compete against other devices l
Pros
- Excellent battery life
- Premium build
- Decent performance
Cons
- nubia UI needs work
- Subpar cameras
- Oversaturated display

Design and display
+
Barring a couple of signature nubia additions, the N1 looks like the regular metal slab with rounded corners and a rear-facing fingerprint sensor the market is flooded with these days. The phone measures a chunky 8.9mm around the waist, which isn’t too bad considering the massive battery tucked away inside, but it’s quite heavy at 190g.

The nubia N1 runs nubia UI 4.0 based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. We’ve become accustomed to Chinese UI’s over the past few years, and while most of them now have slick international ROMs, we can’t say the same for nubia UI. It’s packed with a head-splitting range of features, most of which we disabled, and is full of badly translated English to boot. Our biggest peeve is the screenshot feature – press the power and volume rocker for longer than a second and you get ‘Super screenshot’, with options like scrolling screenshot, rectangular/heart shaped/circular screenshot and screen recording. We don’t dispute the usefulness of having these features available, but the implementation is annoying, and there’s no way to turn it off.

The nubia N1 features 13MP cameras both at the front and rear. The rear camera gets PDAF and f/2.2 aperture, while the front shooter is fixed focus. The camera app has the usual filters, HDR, time lapse, panorama and pro modes. There's also something called 'Camera Family', with options like multi-exposure, light painting, star trail and more. Here too, the badly translated instructions make these modes difficult to understand, and therefore mostly unusable.

Performance
+
The nubia N1 is powered by an octa-core MediaTek Helio P10 chipset, paired with 3GB of RAM. On our 32GB storage model, we had 24GB of free space available. You can expand the storage up to 128GB via microSD. The Helio P10 is a decent chipset, but it doesn’t offer the same performance as the Snapdragon 625, or even the Snapdragon 652 for that matter. The phone can handle regular usage and light games, but more intensive games take a toll with lags and frame drops becoming apparent. Overall, the nubia N1 is fine for casual usage, but it's not a powerhorse. The fingerprint sensor on the N1 was quite accurate, but the phone takes a bit longer to unlock than we’d like.
