A battery that lasts a full day… and then some
Take the nubia V80 Max, for example. Its standout feature? A massive 6,000mAh battery—all for under P7,000. In our hands-on experience, it easily lasts a full day of moderate use—and can even stretch a few extra hours into the next day. For a phone at this price, that’s impressive.
A minor tradeoff is that the nubia V80 Max, being an entry-level device, takes a bit longer to fully recharge. But honestly, a two-hour charge is a small price to pay for such long-lasting battery life. You can check our complete charging logs in our full review.

And there's more: with its reverse charging feature, the nubia V80 Max can even double as a backup powerbank. After all, when you've got that much battery, why not share it?
Accidental drops and splashes? Bring them on
Older entry-level devices could give up after a shallow drop, but the nubia V80 Max is designed to handle everyday mishaps. It can withstand accidental drops from up to 1.8 meters, and its IP64 rating means it's dust- and splash-resistant. This makes it well-suited for delivery rides, field workers, or anyone who uses their phone in active, sometimes rough environments.
