nubia is crashing the pre-holiday shopping season in the Philippines with a two-day festival and the launch of two smartphones: the nubia V80 Design and the nubia Air.

The company is hosting the Vibe Fest 2025 event until tomorrow, November 9, at the New Gateway Mall 2 Quantum Skyview to officially introduce the devices. The launch pairs style-conscious hardware with aggressive pricing and a collaboration with CoCo Fresh Tea & Juice, giving shoppers a chance to “sip, snap, and shop” for limited-edition merchandise.

Style meets AI on a budget

Let’s rip the band-aid off: The look of the nubia V80 Design is somewhat reminiscent of the Apple iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. It champions “flagship aesthetics” while featuring a 120Hz large display. Under the hood, this model is powered by a Unisoc T7280 processor paired with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. A key feature is the dedicated physical AI button on the side, designed to enhance productivity for work and daily life. The rear camera system is headed by a 50-megapixel main sensor, and the battery is rated at 5,000mAh.

The nubia V80 Design is priced at a promotional P6,499 (roughly $110), down from its suggested retail price of P7,299 ($124). To sweeten the deal, each purchase gives you more than P2,000 ($34) worth of freebies, such as limited-edition nubia x CoCo co-branded items.

The thin, tough nubia Air

The nubia Air, whose design is reminiscent of the Apple iPhone Air, aims to break the industry compromise between having an ultraslim design and a big battery. This device packs a 5,000mAh cell into a body as thin as 5.9mm. Its standout feature is its durability; it boasts top-level dust and waterproofing with IP68, IP69, and industrial-grade IP69K ratings, meaning it can survive submersion and high-pressure water jets.

The front is dominated by a 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a peak brightness of 4,500 nits, ensuring clarity even in direct sunlight. Running on a 6nm Unisoc T8300 5G processor and equipped with accessible AI features, including deeply integrated system-level AI and Google’s Gemini, the nubia Air is built for performance without sacrificing its sleek profile.

The nubia Air is available for P10,999 ($186), marked down from its P12,999 ($220) SRP. Each purchase also comes with over P2,000 ($34) worth of freebies, including exclusive nubia x CoCo merch.
