MANILA, Philippines (Jul 2026) — Buying a budget-friendly gaming smartphone usually yields a neat mobile experience, but for one Pinoy family, it paved the way to driving home a brand-new SUV. Clark Adel Marquez recently claimed the grand prize of the nationwide raffle hosted by nubia Philippines, walking away with a brand-new Geely GX3 Pro car alongside the powerful nubia Neo 5 GT 5G.
The lucky streak began when Marquez’s father bought a device from the nubia Neo 5 Series, automatically entering them into the promotional draw. The ceremonial key turnover was led by nubia Philippines Country Manager Gavin Lian, PR Manager Paula Palo, and Geely Motor Philippines Sales Director Chuck Guo.
More than just a smartphone giveaway
The massive raffle draw marked the grand conclusion of a four-month campaign that kicked off earlier this year at SM Megamall. The tech brand joined forces with chipmaker UNISOC, Geely Philippines, and beverage brand Tianlala to build community hype around mobile gaming.
Apart from the car giveaway, the tech company heavily supported local grassroots esports. They organized a community tournament where the champion group, Totch ODK Heroes, won five nubia Neo 5 5G devices. These phones pack a capable UNISOC T9300 octa-core processor engineered to handle heavy mobile gaming sessions.
What is next for the gaming lineup?
Local mobile gamers have more to look forward to as the company prepares for its next big step. This coming August 2026, the brand will expand its local catalog with two fresh options under a new campaign line.
Pinoys can expect the arrival of the nubia Neo 5 Max and the nubia Neo 5 GT Special Edition. These upcoming models aim to stretch the capabilities of the series past standard mobile gaming, focusing on entertainment, productivity, and everyday tasks.
More details regarding the official retail prices and local store availability of the upcoming devices will be shared on the official social media channels of nubia Philippines.
