You may not have heard of Nuu, but the Texas phone company builds budget models that have impressed us before. On Tuesday, Nuu introduced two new smartphones, the B30 5G and the N10. The company is expanding its lineup with affordability and performance in mind, offering what it described as a premium experience at an attractive price.
The B30 5G is priced at $290 and features a 6.7-inch AMOLED FHD+ display, octa-core 2.6GHz processor, and 8GB of RAM, positioning it as a midrange device with high-end features. It also boasts a 64MP tri-camera system optimized for lowlight photography.
“Nuu’s mission is to provide high-quality smartphones that don’t compromise on performance, regardless of price,” said Danny Sit, CEO of Nuu. “With the expansion of our B Series and the introduction of the N Series, we’re catering to a wide range of users, ensuring that everyone has access to advanced technology.”
On the more budget-friendly end, the $100 N10 offers a 6.6-inch HD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate and a 1.6GHz octa-core processor for solid everyday performance. The N10 includes an AI-enhanced 13MP rear camera and a 5,000mAh battery.
Nuu is entering a competitive space dominated by larger brands, but by providing flagship-level features at budget prices, it seeks to attract customers who desire performance without the premium cost associated with major players like Samsung or Apple.
Both devices run on Android 14, which includes enhanced security and Google’s Gemini AI for a smarter, more personalized user experience. Early bird offers include the N10 for $90 and the B30 5G for $260, with both devices bundled with free Nuu Buds to entice early adopters.
Earlier this year, Digital Trends reviewed Nuu’s previous model, the B30 Pro, which exceeded expectations with its solid build quality, MediaTek Dimensity 7050 processor, 12GB of RAM, and 108MP main camera. Despite some shortcomings in secondary cameras and features like wireless charging and water resistance, the B30 Pro offered great value at $300, providing a clean software experience and reliable performance.
