Nubia Music.. Have you ever wished that the irritating individual on public transportation would just crank up the music a little bit? Then, my goodness, has Nubia manufactured you a phone?
The focus of the Nubia Music, which was launched this week at Barcelona’s MWC 2024, is audio. However, the business hasn’t achieved this status with tedious, geeky features like integrated DAC capabilities or support for sophisticated audio codecs.
No, the phone employs a brute force strategy instead. According to Nubia, its speakers can produce 600% more volume than the typical Android phone. It wants you to know about it too, so to make sure you don’t miss it, a large back speaker with a bright red DTS X branding has been installed directly into the rear camera module. “Various Breathing Light Effects for More Musical Fun” are also supported by the phone. That’s not what your Samsung does, I bet.
What Nubia refers to as a “AI extreme volume algorithm” helps the large back speaker, but it’s unclear how artificial intelligence contributes to cranking up the volume to eleven.The impression is… tinny in person. Funnily enough, exactly what you’d expect from someone grabbing a smartphone and turning up the volume to 600%. But it’s loud. The music was so annoying that it could rival the noise of the MWC showfloor and irritate any journalist or YouTuber who approached Nubia’s stand. In fact, one member of Nubia’s team appeared to spend most of their time undoing our attempts to covertly hit pause.
Nubia has you covered if you’re sick of adding to the noise pollution in your neighborhood. The Music includes two 3.5mm headphone ports, so you and a buddy can gather around the phone for a quiet dance without having to split headphones.
more than emphasizing a 5,000mAh battery, which is probably required to power the speaker, Nubia hasn’t revealed much more details regarding the Music’s specifications. The $149 phone’s specific release date and location are also unknown, although it’s reasonable to assume that it won’t be available in the US.
