And when playing the 3D game for 30 minutes, it also only takes 5% power.
Therefore, we can see NeoPower 2.0 has played important role in battery life. Meanwhile, Nubia Z11 MAX supports Quick charge 3.0 technology. By testing, after it’s out of power totally, we charge it according to the original power adapter to charge 10 minutes, the power has increased from 0% to 11%, in 30 minutes, it is up to 34%, in 60 minutes, it reached 68%.
