A new Nubia smartphone with a similar flash design as Meizu E2 has been
spotted on Weibo. This time around the device sports a dual camera setup along
with the strip flash.
While we are not sure of the authenticity of the
leaked image, it looks very much like the Nubia Z17 Mini which was launched
recently, except for the flash design. The leaked image shows the strip LED
flash is sill located on top of the antenna line but this time around it is at
the left side of the cameras unlike the Meizu E2 which was located on the
right.
Meizu and Nubia once shared something in common and
that is the small circle which is used to identify the location of the virtual
home button. But Nubia later applied for a patent for the design and so Meizu
had to change to its latest mBack button. There is no way to tell if we are
looking at a similar scenario here but whatever be the case, the Meizu’s latest
smartphone was the first device that we first saw the strip LED flash design
on. Nubia’s co-founder Ni Fei has even denied the existence of such a design, but the company is confirmed as launching a new smartphone, the Nubia
Z17 which is tipped as packing a Snapdragon 835 chip soon. We’ll have to wait
and see if this design will feature on the upcoming device.
