In March 2024, Digital Trends recognized the B30 Pro by stating "I like phones like the Nuu B30 Pro. Not because it’s a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra rival or that it does something spectacular we’ve never seen before — it’s because it is way better than I thought it was going to be."[7]
In March 2024, ZDNET praised the B30 Pro, states "This budget Android phone is so powerful, it should be double the price."[8]
