Chinese smartphone brands have been aggressively expanding their South African presence over the last few years. I still remember not too long ago when it was Huawei as China’s flag bearer squaring off against the Koreans – Samsung, LG and to a lesser extent Sony! But, oh boy, how things have changed! Now, brands like Honor, OPPO, and Xiaomi are strutting their stuff, eager to win our hearts and our hard-earned cash.
Well then, there’s no surprises that we have yet another Chinese entrant into the local smartphone landscape. Enter ZTE, striding into the South African scene with their Nubia sub-brand. In a market where smartphones are priced like a year of university tuition, you’ve got to wonder: do we really need another contender in this crowded ring? Well, hold onto your hats, because Nubia’s here to shake things up with some serious flair and jaw-dropping prices.
Say hello to the Nubia Music smartphone! This little beauty boasts a 50MP main camera, a 5,000mAh battery, and a design that looks like it was inspired by our vibrant African art. And the sound?
