ZTE appears
to be working on the launch a stripped-down edition of its flagship. The
alleged Nubia Z17 Lite has surfaced on TENAA with a model number of NX591J.
According to TENAA listing, the NX5911 Nubia phone
measures 152.8 x 72.55 x 7.95mm and its weight is 169 grams. It features a
5.5-inch TFT screen that offers FHD resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. Below
the display is the trademark red ring Home button. The alleged Nubia Z17 Lite
is fueled by 2.0 GHz octa-core processor. The exact name of the chipset is not
present on the TENAA listing. It will be coming with a 3,100 mAh battery which
is slightly smaller than the 3,200 mAh battery present on the Nubia Z17.
The alleged Nubia Z17 Lite features 6 GB of RAM. The
native storage of the phone is 64 GB. The phone features a dual rear camera
system. However, the TENAA listing only reveals the main camera of the dual camera
module as 12-megapixel and it does not mention any information about the
secondary camera sensor. A dual-LED flash can be seen next to the twin camera
system.
Like the Nubia Z17 flagship, its alleged Lite
edition may also feature a 12-megapixel sensor + a 23-megapixel sensor. The
front side of the phone has a 16-megapixel sensor. The rear side of the phone
also features a fingerprint reader and a nubia logo at the center. It will come
loaded with Android 7.1.1 Nougat that will be overlaid with the latest nubia UI
skin. It will be arriving in color choices like black, silver and gold.
Since the device has appeared on TENAA, it seems
that the arrival of the Nubia Z17 Lite is close at hand. At present, there is
no information on the pricing and availability of the phone. The Nubia Z17 that
is currently only available in China is the world’s first smartphone to support
Quick Charge 4+ rapid charging feature from Qualcomm. Moreover, it is also the
first Snapdragon 835 smartphone with 8 GB of RAM. Apart from its dual camera
feature, it features a true bezel-less display. The only major competitors for
the Nubia Z17 is the OnePlus 5 and Xiaomi Mi 6.
