ZTE is set to launch its latest iPhone lookalike, the Nubia V80 Design, in Nepal. The phone comes with a similar camera plateau as the latest iPhone 17 Pro Max but is expected to be priced below Rs. 20,000 when it lands in Nepal.
Nubia V80 Design Overview
Design and display
First off, the design of the Nubia V80 Design is a replica of the new iPhone 17 series. The camera module extends to the right, featuring the exact flashlight placement. We can also see three lenses, although one of them is purely for decoration and has no particular use. You can also notice a red button just below the volume rocker, which is actually a dedicated AI button. There are also four colour options to choose from, which include “Midnight Black,” “Pale Amber,” “Celadon Cyan,” and “Peach Fuzz.” Overall, the device is IP64-rated for dust and splash resistance.

Moving to the display, it boasts a big 6.75-inch FHD+ resolution screen. The brightness can reach a maximum of 1,000 nits, accompanied by a 120Hz refresh rate.
Performance and battery
Although it may resemble an iPhone 17, it falls short in terms of performance. The Nubia V80 Design uses the entry-level Unisoc T7280 chipset. This chip is paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. This handset runs the Android 16-based MyOS 16.
The battery is also not particularly impressive; it features a 5000mAh capacity that can be charged with a 22.5W charger. The device also supports 10W reverse charging.

Camera and rest
As I mentioned, while the device features a total of three lenses at the back, only two of them have a particular use. Out of the two useful lenses, one is a 50MP “AI” primary camera while the other is a 2MP depth sensor. Additionally, the selfie camera features a 16MP sensor.

The Nubia V80 Design also supports Nubia Linkfree technology, a Bluetooth-based communication technology that allows for the transmission of messages and voice calls within a specific area. However, it only works with other Linkfree-supported devices. In addition to this, it includes various AI features, such as scam detection, AI writing, thoughtful replies, image editing, real-time translation, and many more. You can access these features with the dedicated AI button.
