The ZTE Nubia V18 is a 2018 smartphone whose battery features, which we'll break down as we go along this specs-based review, calls up Phonerated's list of the best big-battery phones. However, it winds up as a middle-class smartphone overall. Its biggest cons come in the form of its unassuming rear and front cameras. At the back, it touts a typical 13-megapixel f/2.2 primary cam 
that obviously shudders in comparison to the dual-lens cameras offered by several close competitors. Up front sits a modest (by 2018 standards) 8-megapixel selfie camera .
Going back to its battery, the V18 boasts a 4000mAh full-tank capacity 
and delivers ZTE's NeoPower 3.0 technology that's essentially a suite of power-optimization features. It also supports reverse charging through USB-OTG , allowing it to turn into a power bank for less-enduring smartphones or Bluetooth accessories.
Sitting alongside its battery is a 14nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 2GHz eight-core processor , which may not make it a standout in the octa-core smartphone category, but nonetheless sounds like a respectable pro, considering its overall specs profile. Sitting alongside its engine is a substantial 4GB RAM and a 64GB internal memory that can be expanded by a maximum of 128GB.
Leaving its under-the-hood pros and cons, this Nubia model touts a large 6.01-inch InCell IPS display that hops on the 18:9 aspect ratio bandwagon , which was kicked off by some popular phablets and wide-screen smartphones that hit the market several months before the V18 came out. It sits on a 2160 x 1080 FHD+ resolution and a 403ppi pixel density, both of which, by 2018 middle-class standards, sound just about passable.
Physique-wise, the V18 is a favorably-thin smartphone, measuring only 7.75mm , whereas the average smartphone depth hovered around 8.5mm as we were looking into its pros and cons -- get to know the thinnest phones available here. The opposite can be said of its 170-gram body weight, though, which made it roughly 11 percent heavier than average as of this write-up.

In any case, the Nubia V18 possibly finds its match in users eying a mid-ranger that combines a spacious display with a large battery.
