Highlights & Review Of ZTE Nubia Neo 5 Max

Display Highlights

The ZTE Nubia Neo 5 Max has the largest screen in this group at 7.5 inches, with a resolution of 1280 x 2772 pixels that works out to roughly 407 ppi. It is also the only phone here with an IPS LCD panel, while the Poco M8 5G, Infinix Note 60 and Tecno Pova Curve 2 5G all use AMOLED.

The Infinix Note 60 is the sharpest at about 429 ppi (1208 x 2644 on 6.78 inches), followed by the Nubia, the Poco M8 5G at about 388 ppi (1080 x 2392 on 6.77 inches) and the Pova Curve 2 at about 383 ppi (1080 x 2364 on 6.78 inches).

Brightness favors the Nubia Neo 5 Max on HBM. Its 1800 nits is the highest figure here, ahead of the 1600 nits listed for both the Note 60 and the Pova Curve 2, and more than double the 800 nits of the Poco M8 5G. Its 4500 nits peak matches the Note 60 and Pova Curve 2, while the Poco M8 5G lists only 3200 nits. Peak and HBM are different measurements, so they should not be compared with each other.

Refresh rate separates the group in two. The Note 60 and Pova Curve 2 both run at 144 Hz, while the Nubia Neo 5 Max and the Poco M8 5G run at 120 Hz. For scrolling and gaming, that gives the two 144 Hz phones a slightly smoother feel.

Phone	Screen	Resolution	Type	Refresh Rate	Peak Brightness	HBM Brightness
ZTE Nubia Neo 5 Max	7.5 inch	1280 x 2772	IPS LCD	120 Hz	4500 nits	1800 nits
Poco M8 5G	6.77 inch	1080 x 2392	AMOLED	120 Hz	3200 nits	800 nits
Infinix Note 60	6.78 inch	1208 x 2644	AMOLED	144 Hz	4500 nits	1600 nits
Tecno Pova Curve 2 5G	6.78 inch	1080 x 2364	AMOLED	144 Hz	4500 nits	1600 nits

Verdict: The Infinix Note 60 has the best AMOLED display here, with 144 Hz, 4500 nits peak and the sharpest picture at about 429 ppi, for PKR 3,000 more than the ZTE Nubia Neo 5 Max. The Nubia Neo 5 Max is the choice for buyers who want the largest 7.5-inch screen and the highest 1800 nits HBM at PKR 100,000, accepting an IPS LCD instead of AMOLED, while the Poco M8 5G has the weakest brightness of the four.

Performance Highlights

The ZTE Nubia Neo 5 Max has the lowest performance in this group, with a Dimensity 7100 scoring 780 thousand on AnTuTu v11. The Infinix Note 60 leads at 977 thousand on the Dimensity 7400, followed by the Poco M8 5G at 850 thousand on the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 and the Tecno Pova Curve 2 5G at 810 thousand. That puts the Nubia about 197,000 points (roughly 25%) behind the Note 60, and about 70,000 points (roughly 9%) behind the Poco M8 5G.

The Nubia Neo 5 Max and Pova Curve 2 share the same Dimensity 7100 chip, built on a 6 nm process with a 2.4 GHz peak clock and a Mali-G610 MC2 GPU. Their scores are only 30,000 points apart, so they perform at nearly the same level. The Note 60 and Poco M8 5G are both built on a 4 nm process. The Note 60 has four 2.6 GHz Cortex-A78 cores and four 2.0 GHz Cortex-A55 cores with a Mali-G615 MC2 GPU, while the Poco M8 5G has four 2.4 GHz Cortex-A78 cores and four 1.8 GHz Cortex-A55 cores with an Adreno 710 GPU.

The Pova Curve 2 is the only phone with a listed bootup time, at 32 seconds. The Poco M8 5G also lists a v10 AnTuTu score of 550 thousand, but v11 is the only version all four phones share, so it is the fair comparison.

Phone	Chipset	Max Clock	Lithography	GPU	AnTuTu v11
ZTE Nubia Neo 5 Max	Dimensity 7100	2.4 GHz	6 nm	Mali-G610 MC2	780 K
Poco M8 5G	Snapdragon 6 Gen 3	2.4 GHz	4 nm	Adreno 710	850 K
Infinix Note 60	Dimensity 7400	2.6 GHz	4 nm	Mali-G615 MC2	977 K
Tecno Pova Curve 2 5G	Dimensity 7100	2.4 GHz	6 nm	Mali-G610 MC2	810 K

Verdict: The Infinix Note 60 is the fastest phone here at 977 thousand, about 25% ahead of the ZTE Nubia Neo 5 Max for PKR 3,000 more. The Poco M8 5G is about 9% faster than the Nubia Neo 5 Max for PKR 5,000 less, and the Tecno Pova Curve 2 5G uses the same chip at the same PKR 100,000 with only a 30,000-point higher score.

Memory & Storage Highlights

All four phones come in the same 8 + 256 GB configuration and use UFS 2.2 storage, so the storage speed is identical across the group. The differences are in RAM type and expandability. The Infinix Note 60 and Tecno Pova Curve 2 5G use LPDDR5X RAM, the newer type, while the ZTE Nubia Neo 5 Max and Poco M8 5G use LPDDR4X. The newer RAM type helps with multitasking and keeping apps ready in the background.

The ZTE Nubia Neo 5 Max has the weakest memory setup in the group. It pairs LPDDR4X RAM with UFS 2.2 storage, has no microSD slot, and costs PKR 5,000 more than the Poco M8 5G, which matches it on RAM type. The Poco M8 5G is the only phone with a confirmed microSD slot, which means its 256 GB can be expanded later. The Note 60’s microSD support is not confirmed, and the Pova Curve 2 has no slot.

The Tecno Pova Curve 2 5G gives buyers the newer LPDDR5X RAM at the same PKR 100,000 as the Nubia Neo 5 Max, so it is the better memory choice at that price. The Note 60 offers the same RAM type at PKR 103,000.

Phone	Variant	RAM Type	Storage Type	microSD
ZTE Nubia Neo 5 Max	8 + 256 GB	LPDDR4X	UFS 2.2	No
Poco M8 5G	8 + 256 GB	LPDDR4X	UFS 2.2	Yes
Infinix Note 60	8 + 256 GB	LPDDR5X	UFS 2.2	–
Tecno Pova Curve 2 5G	8 + 256 GB	LPDDR5X	UFS 2.2	No

Verdict: The Tecno Pova Curve 2 5G and Infinix Note 60 have the best memory here with LPDDR5X RAM, and the Pova Curve 2 gets it at the same PKR 100,000 as the ZTE Nubia Neo 5 Max. The Poco M8 5G is the only phone with a confirmed microSD slot at PKR 95,000, which leaves the Nubia Neo 5 Max behind on both RAM type and expandability.

Camera Highlights

The Poco M8 5G has the most complete camera feature set in this group. Its 50 MP OV50D40 Light Hunter 400 main sensor is the only rear sensor named, and it is the only phone with 2x optical zoom and listed stabilization. It also has the best slow-motion capability, with HD video at up to 240 fps alongside 4K at 30 fps, and a 20 MP front camera, the highest resolution here. Its rear layout is 50 + 2 + 0.8 MP, so the two extra cameras add little resolution.

The Infinix Note 60 is the next strongest. It records 4K at 30 fps with 1080p at up to 120 fps on the rear and has the best secondary camera at 8 MP. Its 13 MP GalaxyCore GC13AO front camera is among the lowest resolution in the group, and it lists only 10x digital zoom with no stabilization.

The Tecno Pova Curve 2 5G has a 50 + 2 MP rear setup and a 13 MP front camera. Its rear video is limited to 2K at 30 fps and 1080p at 60 fps, with no 4K option, and it offers 15x digital zoom, the longest in the group, with no optical zoom or stabilization listed.

The ZTE Nubia Neo 5 Max lists the least camera information. It has 50 + 2 MP rear cameras and a 16 MP front camera, but no sensor names

Phone	Rear Camera	Front Camera	Zoom	Stabilization	Best Rear Video
ZTE Nubia Neo 5 Max	50 + 2 MP	16 MP	–	–	4K @ 30 fps
Poco M8 5G	50 + 2 + 0.8 MP	20 MP	2x optical	Yes	4K @ 30 fps, HD @ 240 fps
Infinix Note 60	50 + 8 MP	13 MP	10x digital	–	4K @ 30 fps, 1080p @ 120 fps
Tecno Pova Curve 2 5G	50 + 2 MP	13 MP	15x digital	–	2K @ 30 fps, 1080p @ 60 fps

Verdict: The Poco M8 5G has the best camera features here, with 2x optical zoom, stabilization and 240 fps slow motion, and it is also the cheapest at PKR 95,000. The Infinix Note 60 is second with 4K rear video and an 8 MP secondary camera at PKR 103,000.

Battery & Charging Highlights

The Tecno Pova Curve 2 5G has the largest battery in this group at 8000 mAh, about 13% more than the ZTE Nubia Neo 5 Max’s 7100 mAh and about 45% more than the Poco M8 5G’s 5520 mAh. It is also the largest of the two silicon-carbon cells here, the other being the Poco M8 5G’s. The Infinix Note 60 sits in the middle with 6500 mAh on a lithium polymer cell.

Wired charging does not separate these phones, since all four are rated at 45 W. Wireless charging does. The Note 60 is the only phone with it, at 30 W, while the Nubia Neo 5 Max, Poco M8 5G and Pova Curve 2 list no wireless charging.

Battery is the strongest area for the Nubia Neo 5 Max, which pairs 7100 mAh with a larger 7.5-inch screen. Its Li-Ion cell is a more conventional type than the silicon-carbon cells in the Pova Curve 2 and Poco M8 5G, though it still holds more capacity than the Poco M8 5G, the Note 60 and every other phone here except the Pova Curve 2.

Phone	Capacity	Battery Type	Wired Charging	Wireless Charging
ZTE Nubia Neo 5 Max	7100 mAh	Li-Ion	45 W	–
Poco M8 5G	5520 mAh	Silicon-Carbon	45 W	–
Infinix Note 60	6500 mAh	Lithium Polymer	45 W	30 W
Tecno Pova Curve 2 5G	8000 mAh	Silicon-Carbon	45 W	–

Verdict: The Tecno Pova Curve 2 5G has the best battery here, with 8000 mAh at the same PKR 100,000 as the ZTE Nubia Neo 5 Max, which is second at 7100 mAh. The Infinix Note 60 is the only phone with 30 W wireless charging, and the Poco M8 5G has the smallest battery at 5520 mAh, though it is the cheapest at PKR 95,000.

Final Verdict

The Infinix Note 60 is the strongest phone overall. It leads on processor (977 thousand AnTuTu v11), has the best AMOLED display (144 Hz, 4500 nits peak and about 429 ppi), uses newer LPDDR5X RAM and is the only phone with 30 W wireless charging.

It costs PKR 103,000 new, the most of the four, though only PKR 3,000 more than the ZTE Nubia Neo 5 Max. The Tecno Pova Curve 2 5G is the best value. At the same PKR 100,000 as the Nubia Neo 5 Max, it adds a 144 Hz AMOLED display, LPDDR5X RAM, a slightly faster processor (810 thousand against 780 thousand) and a larger 8000 mAh battery, about 13% more than the Nubia’s 7100 mAh.

The Poco M8 5G is the cheapest at PKR 95,000 and offers the best camera features (2x optical zoom, stabilization and 240 fps slow motion) and the only confirmed microSD slot, along with the second-fastest processor at 850 thousand. Its weak spots are the dimmest display (800 nits HBM) and the smallest battery (5520 mAh). The ZTE Nubia Neo 5 Max wins only on screen size and HBM, with a 7.5-inch display at 1800 nits, and on a strong 7100 mAh battery.

It uses an IPS LCD where the other three use AMOLED, has the slowest processor, uses LPDDR4X RAM, has no microSD slot and lists the least camera information. Display, performance and battery were weighted most heavily, and wired charging does not separate the phones, since all four are rated at 45 W.

Bottom line: The Infinix Note 60 is the best phone in this group, the Tecno Pova Curve 2 5G is the best value, and the ZTE Nubia Neo 5 Max suits buyers who mainly want a large 7.5-inch screen and a big battery at PKR 100,000.
