ZTE is heading back to Barcelona with another gaming phone.

The company announced today that it will hold a new product launch event for its new phones at Mobile World Congress 2026, taking place from March 2nd to 5th in Spain. The highlight of the event will be the global debut of the Nubia Neo 5 GT. 

According to the official teaser poster, the Nubia Neo 5 GT will feature a built-in cooling fan. Active cooling isn’t new to gaming phones, but it’s still rare outside this niche. A built-in fan suggests ZTE is aiming for sustained gaming performance.

Beyond that, ZTE hasn’t shared much. However, thanks to a leak, we already have the device’s design and full specs. 

Nubia Neo 5 GT Specifications

As you can see, the Nubia Neo 5 GT features camera cutouts with an octagonal design, and a light accent on the right side adds to the aggressive look. 

Up front, the phone is expected to feature a 6.77-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It supports up to 1200 nits of brightness and covers 100 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut. 

Powering the device is the UNISOC T9100 chipset, built on a 6nm TSMC process. It uses a mix of Cortex-A76 and Cortex-A55 cores, topped by a prime core clocked at 2.7GHz. The phone also has a large vapor chamber (4083mm²) for cooling. 

The phone comes with LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 3.1 storage, though exact configurations haven’t been confirmed. It powers everything via a 6,000mAh battery, with support for 80W fast charging, and also includes bypass charging.

In terms of optics, the phone could feature a 50-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel front camera, supported by Nubia’s NEOVISION imaging system. 

Other features include dual stereo speakers with DTS:X Ultra support, a Z-axis linear motor for stronger vibration feedback, hardware gyroscope support, and shoulder trigger buttons labeled R1 and L1. 

The Nubia Neo 5 GT will be available in Black, Yellow, and White.
