Nubia offers a few different ways to use the two
different displays, so you really can figure out what
works for you. You could set each power button
to trigger a different screen for example, so that
whichever way you pick the phone up the right-
hand power button will turn on the correct display
- though it’s still all too easy to nudge the other
fingerprint sensor and trigger the other display.
There’s also the option of a floating button to
swap between screens, or an automatic setting
that detects the motion of you flipping the phone
and switches screens as you do – though this gets
a bit confused if you’re using the phone at an odd
angle, like while lying down.
Then you can choose whether to use the
separate screens for multitasking, running different
apps on each, or to simply mirror one display
to the other for switching between. Throw in
separate always-on display options for each panel
and there’s an impressive wealth of options.
Design and build: Twice as nice
To accommodate the dual displays, the Z20 also has
two power buttons, each with an integrated fingerprint
sensor – which could also make it accidentally ideal
for the left-handed or ambidextrous among us. There’s
still only one volume rocker (on the right), along with a
down-firing speaker and USB-C charging port on the
bottom of the phone, but no headphone jack.
At 186g it’s actually a lightweight phone, and feels
relatively compact despite all the tech packed inside.
That means it’s still comfortable to use one-handed
