ZTE Nubia Prague S
ZTE has just announced the Nubia Prague
S smartphone. Quite similar to the existing My Prague model, the new device
does bring a few changes, though it can hardly be called a successor.
Starting off with the display, it's the
same 5.2-inch FullHD affair, complete with 2.5D glass. Running the show is
again the Snapdragon 615, with an octa-core CPU inside. Prague S, however,
packs 3 GB of RAM and 64 GB of built-in storage (expandable, too) in all its
versions, whereas My Prague comes with either 2 GB/16 GB or 3 GB/32 GB.
The 13 MP camera on the back, coupled
with a single-LED flash is familiar too, as is the 8 MP front shooter. An
improvement over the older model, Prague S now comes with an iris scanner.
There's also nubia's FiT tech on board, which let's you operate the smartphone
using its touch-sensitive edges.
Measuring 148.2 x 72.5 x 6.8 mm, the
smartphone has more or less the same footprint as My Prague, but is noticeably
thicker than the 5.5 millimeters of the older model. You'd think that it might
pack a larger battery then, but no, it's the same 2,200 mAh. It's a few grams
lighter though, at 135 grams.
Available now for pre-order in China,
Nubia Prague S is offered in Silver and Rose Gold. Depending on supported
cellular connectivity it's priced at either CNY 2,399 (US$ 365) or CNY 3,499
(US$ 380) and will go on sale on January 23.
