ZTE Nubia Z11 and Z11 Max
So far ZTE has officially
announced just one member of the Nubia Z11 family, namely the Z11 Mini.
But it looks like the company is busy working on two additional Z11-branded
phones, which should be unveiled in the near future.
Both of these have recently
been certified for sale in China by TENAA, that country's FCC equivalent. And
like always in these cases, that means we're treated to a few pictures of each
device, along with a list of their most important specs.
First off we have the Nubia Z11. This sports a 5.5-inch 1080p touchscreen, a 1.5 GHz octa-core
processor (the chipset used is probably the Snapdragon 617, which is also
inside the Z11 Mini), 4 GB of RAM, 32 GB of expandable storage, a 16 MP rear
camera with LED flash, an 8 MP selfie snapper, and a 2,900 mAh battery. It runs
Android 5.1.1 Lollipop. Its measurements are 151.8 x 72.3 x 7.75 mm and it
weighs 162 grams.
Next up, the Nubia Z11 Max -
which is an even bigger phablet, as its name implies. It's graced with a 6-inch
1080p display, 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB of expandable storage, and the same 16 MP / 8
MP camera setup as both the Z11 and the Z11 Mini. The Max features a 4,000 mAh
battery and is probably powered by the Snapdragon 652 SoC. Its dimensions are
159.15 x 82.25 x 7.4 mm. It should run Lollipop just like its sibling, in both
cases hidden underneath ZTE's own UI.
As you can see, these two
Z11 family members come with full metal builds (save for some small plastic
panels hiding antennas), unlike the "metal frame in between two sheets of
glass" sandwich that is the Z11 Mini. Both new Z11 models come with a
fingerprint scanner on the back, and faux-bezelless display panels. 4G LTE
connectivity will be built into both, as you may assume.
