Products

NUU Mobile is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM), which means its devices are assembled and built by a dedicated in-house manufacturing team.

The company currently features three distinct series of smartphones: the N Series, the X Series, and the Z Series.

All NUU Mobile smartphones are protected by a two-year limited warranty. Each device also features two SIM card slots, expandable microSD(TM) storage, and removable batteries.

NUU Mobile's latest devices have been certified by Google Mobile Services (GMS), making them eligible for future Android security patches and software updates.

The N Series

The entry-level N Series from NUU Mobile currently includes three models -- NU2S, NU3S, and the new N4L. A fourth model, called the N5L, is scheduled for release in early 2016.

The X Series

The mid-range X Series from NUU Mobile currently includes three models -- X1, X3, and the new X4.

The Z Series

The flagship Z Series from NUU Mobile was launched in 2015. The first Z Series device was named the Z8. NUU Mobile is expected to release a new Z Series device in 2016, though no timeline has been announced yet.

Reviews and Recognition

Early reviews of NUU Mobile devices highlighted many of the brand's strong points, while also providing useful criticism used to improve future models.

NUU Mobile's combination of high-quality components and affordable prices was lauded by PC Mag, which called the X1 "an excellent value for unlocked Android phones."

In July 2015, Android Authority described the NUU Mobile Z8 as "a solid affordable mid-range smartphone with a lot of positives", though the reviewer noted the device was "not without its flaws" before observing that "a lot of these can be fixed with future software updates."

Later in 2015, another Z8 review from The Mac Wizard observed that these issues had been resolved, noting that the Z8 "...received several firmware updates during my review term and the company promises to stay on top of big security updates."

In early 2016, CNET honored the NUU Mobile X4 as one of its "Smartphones That Matter at CES 2016."

Recently, NUU Mobile has earned praise from tech insiders for the company's friendly, personalized approach.

AndroidGuys declared, "[T]he the people from NUU Mobile are downright genuine...There is something to be said for supporting a company with great people...You can tell the entire team has a deep understanding of what most customers actually use their phones for..."
