Renders of a mysterious Nubia smartphone have made
their way to the web. This might be the upcoming Nubia Z18 but a previously
reported image does not corroborate with the current leak.
The renders showcase a phone, that, at the first
glance, looks absolutely gorgeous. The front is nothing but a display, devoid
of any bezels on the top or the sides with a little chin on the bottom. There’s
no notch or a visible front camera present on the renders. Maybe a front camera
that will pop out of the top? It won’t be the first thanks to Vivo’s Nex and
Oppo’s Find X. But that’s not the most interesting part of these renders.
It’s
the back where things get interesting. It seems like there is a second screen
on the back designed strictly for maybe notifications at a glance?. The renders
showcase a back with an analogue clock sitting smack in the middle of the
curved glass. Maybe Nubia is looking to join the ranks of Yota Phone and the
Meizu Pro 7. There’s no surety whether the secondary display is a part of the
package as it could have been easily photoshopped.
The phone doesn’t exactly seem to
have a thin profile. This can be attributed to the side-mounted fingerprint
scanner. The phone sports all the gimmicks of 2018 and retains a few from the
previous years. There’s a dual camera setup on the back with dual LED flash.
The bottom of the frame houses the USB Type-C charging port flanked by the
3.5mm headphone jack on the left and the speaker grill on the right.
There is no ETA on the Nubia Z18. It is expected to
sport the Snapdragon 845 coupled with 6GB RAM and 64 GB UFS 2.1 onboard
storage. There is also a possibility of an 8GB+128GB model.
