Nubia, the well-known smartphone maker in China, has launched a new smartphone today named the Nubia V18. It is a mid-range smartphone that features a modern 18:9 display with minimal bezels, dual cameras on the rear and a massive battery under the hood. Also, it is good to see that the phone has no notch design as we have seen the same on recently launched phones from companies like Vivo and Oppo.
