You may have not heard of NUU Mobile, but the
company has been selling unlocked smartphones in the US for a few years now.
Its newest handset, the unlocked NUU G3, can be pre-ordered for US$ 199.99 before
it launches stateside in February.
Design-wise, the NUU G3 borrows a lot from Samsung's
recent high-end Galaxy phones, offering a 5.7-inch dual-curve display, and a
glass back. Interestingly, the back of the handset hosts a dual camera (16 MP +
5 MP) and a fingerprint sensor arranged vertically.
The 5.7-inch dual curve screen of the NUU G3 has an
18:9 aspect ratio, but its resolution is underwhelming at 720 x 1440 pixels.
Fortunately, the rest of the features are quite decent for a $199 phone,
including 4 GB of RAM, an octa-core MediaTek Helio P25 processor, a 13 MP
selfie camera with flash, 64 GB of storage space, and a 3000 mAh battery. The
G3 even offers facial recognition, but we're not sure how well this works.
Connectivity-wise, the smartphone comes with a USB
Type-C port, NFC, and 3G/LTE. There is full support for AT&T and T-Mobile,
but the device is not compatible with Verizon and Sprint.
At the moment, the G3 can be pre-ordered only via
NUU Mobile's official US website - see the source link below. Starting early
February, the handset should also be available via retailers like Best Buy,
Amazon, Target, and Walmart.
