It is made to be a flagship (and a gaming phone too) and it rightly do so. Let’s take a deeper look.
Dual display on mobile is one of the standout features that made some device popular few years back, but nearly obsolete in 2019. With the Z20, Nubia has bring it back. The phone have two AMOLED screens; the first one located at the front features a 6.42-inch Full HD+ display, while the second one located at the back has a 5.1-inch HD+ display. Both display claimed 100% NTSC color gamut, have DC dimming and AOD 2.0, but there is no mention of screen protection.
