ZTE Nubia Z9 Max Elite and Z9 Mini Elite


The Nubia Z9 Max Elite will gain a fingerprint sensor embedded in its side-mounted power button. It's also going to get a USB Type-C port, to keep up with the latest trend in the mobile world. Otherwise, though, it will be identical to the non-Elite variant.



It will feature the same 5.5-inch 1080p touchscreen, 16 MP rear camera, 8 MP selfie snapper, Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chipset, 3 GB of RAM, 16 GB of expandable storage, and 2,900 mAh battery.


The Nubia Z9 Mini Elite will come with 3 GB of RAM, up from the non-Elite iteration's 2 GB. It will also have eye pattern recognition, and a couple of other new software features. No further hardware changes, though, so it will still have a 5-inch 1080p touchscreen, a 16 MP rear camera, an 8 MP front-facing unit, 16 GB of expandable storage, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 SoC, and a 2,900 mAh battery.

Expect both of these to launch in China soon. As usual with ZTE's Nubia line, it's not extremely likely that you'll ever be able to officially purchase them overseas.
