Title: A blast from the past: The Nubia Neo 5 Max is a throwback to phablets like the Huawei Mate 20X
Post by: Redaktion on March 08, 2026, 19:43:32
Huawei's Mate 20X from 2018 was well-loved. Nubia's latest device, the Neo 5 Max, is a throwback of sorts, with its massive 7.5-inch display ensuring it launches as the largest globally available smartphone—it could appeal to the crowd that loved the Mate 20X all those years ago.

The most recent Mi Max model, the Max 3, was both smaller and launched even before the Mate 20X.

Good call, though.

The Mate 20X is only marginally / barely bigger than the Mi Max 3 if you (unfairly?) don't count the screen estate that is horizontally right next to the camera notch.

It felt more like to me that the Mi Max has much more of a cult following due to the budget pricing while also not being the first of its product line.

I'd imagine many of those who care about the giant real estate don't care too much about having the "latest and greatest" flagship cameras and CPU.

It's also much easier for me to recommend the phone to other people that have doubts about the form factor to start with something albeit more budget too. 😀

no, the mate 20x was the biggest !

waited years for an upgrade. important question is here which aspect ratio?? also this idiotic 19.5:9 ?
the 20x was slightly wider, so more screen estate..

I work from home and earn a respectable $6k a week, which is amazing considering that a year ago I was unemployed in a terrible economy. I always give God praise for honoring me with these rules, and now it's my duty to practice anticipatory compassion and share it with everyone. Likewise,
