ZTE Nubia Z11 Mini
Despite quite a delay, the ZTE Nubia Z11 Mini is finally
officially launched in India at the price of 12,999 INR (US$ 195). As the name
implies the Nubia Z11 Mini is a smaller and less powerful version of the Nubia
Z11.
As expected, the design is pretty similar to the one
of the bigger brother with its metal frame and premium looks, the screen size
drops from 5.5″ to 5.0″ (still Full HD) and it gets the less powerful Qualcomm
Snapdragon 617 compared to the SD 820 present on the Nubia Z11.
Other hardware includes 3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal
storage with micro SD expansion (up to 200GB), a 16-megapixel Sony IMX298
sensor equipped rear camera with an aperture of f/2.0 and LED flash. On the
front we find a Sony IMX179 8MP shooter with beauty mode but no LED flash.
A neat feature on the Nubia Z11 Mini is the
NeoVision camera app, which gives the users different manual settings and the
possibility of shooting images in DNG (a type of RAW loss-less format). The
fingerprint scanner is situated on the back and below it there’s a 2800 mAh
capacity battery which is pretty good given the phone’s form factor and it
being only 8mm thick.
The phone can accomodate two Nano SIMS, supports 4G
LTE, Bluetooth 4.1, A-GPS and GLONASS and will run Nubia UI 3.9.6 based on
Android 5.1 Lollipop.
