14 DAY TRIAL // ZTE is expected to launch a new, amazing flagship smartphone called the Nubia Z9 on 26 March, away from the commotion of MWC 2015 in Barcelona.
The phone should arrive with a “stunning” design with impossibly thin bezels, which we have already peeked at several times. The upcoming model has been spotted in a bunch of leaked pictures, and today we bring you the latest ones.
New images of the ZTE Nubia Z9 leak out
As you can see in the gallery below, the Nubia Z9 really takes advantage of an impressive screen-to-body ratio. The handset also seems to be pretty premium, coming with an aluminum unibody and what appears to be a fingerprint scanner located on the back.
We’re also shown a photograph where the Nubia Z9 is placed next to Apple’s current iPhone 6. From the image, it’s pretty evident that the Z9 will be only a tad thicker than the Apple flagship, which sits at 2.7-inches / 6.9 mm.
As for the specs, we certainly don’t know the full story. A recent listing in AnTuTu showed that the new ZTE phone should arrive with a 5.2-inch display with 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution and 424ppi.
Will the Nubia Z9 sport a FHD or QHD display?
But the information went against previous rumors, which claimed that the Nubia Z9 would take advantage of a larger 5.5-inch display with Quad HD resolution (2560 x 1440 pixels) like all self-respecting phones this spring.
The benchmark listing reveals what we knew all along, that the Nubia Z9 will take advantage of an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor fitted with 3GB of RAM.
On top of that, the handset will make it out with a 16MP frontal camera plus an 8MP selfie snapper up in front. The phone will run Android 5.0.2 Lollipop out of the box.
There’s a bit of confusion related to the model that popped up in AnTuTu, as the phone might prove to be the Nubia Z9 mini.
Since ZTE’s previous Z7 brought a 5.5-inch display to the table, it would be a pretty strange move on behalf of the company to shrink the screen size on its next flagship. The Z7 also enjoyed a QHD display, so it makes sense for the Nubia Z9 mini to settle for less.
