New Delhi: Inspired by Xiaomi’s success in the Indian smartphone market, more Chinese companies are headed this direction to sell their products. The latest company to do so is ZTE, which is set to launch its nubia smartphone brand with a new device that will be bezel-less.
China-based nubia unveiled it 2015 flagship device, the nubia Z9, in Beijing on May 6 and now it plans to roll out the smartphone in the Indian market on May 19.
The phone will be available exclusively on Amazon and while there is no word on the model type, earlier speculations point to either nubia Z9 or nubia Z9 mini with a 5-inch screen.
The ‘Unlimit Yourself’ campaign by nubia only points to a “new nubia smartphone with SLR camera and sophisticated design." There is a possibility that nubia Z9 mini will be launched for the Indian market as it makes more sense to unveil a recent model than an older one.
The nubia Z9 boasts of a 5.2-inch borderless screen offering HD resolution with aRC technology. It features a design that makes it more ergonomic and easy to hold. As the phone is bezel-free, it makes use of the Frame interactive Technology (FiT) that allows users to control the phone by touching just the edge of the screen.
The phone includes a 16 megapixel rear camera with optical image stabilization and an 8 megapixel front-facing camera, a Snapdragon 810 chipset, and a 2,900mAh battery.
The nubia Z9 comes in three variants: Classic, with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage for $564; Elite, with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage for $645; and Exclusive version with additional fingerprint sensor for $725.
A day before nubia hits Amazon’s online store, another Chinese smartphone manufacturer, Meizu, is expected to launch its M1 Note on May 18. The phone features a 5.5-inch IPS FHD display, 1.7GHz octa-core MediaTek MT6752 processor, 2GB RAM, 13 megapixel rear camera and a 5 megapixel front camera.
