Nubia UI is the system which comes installed as standard on Nubia smartphones, but at the time of writing there isnā€™t a version of the system based on Android Nougat, but thatā€™s soon going to change.

In addition to the changes to the look of the UI, there are a few neat features such as the ability to hold down on apps to get additional options. This is hardly new as weā€™ve seen this on phones with 3D/Force Touch display, but this would bring the feature to non force touch phones.

Another change is the switch from quick toggles from the notification area to a new menu found by swiping up from the bottom of the screen, anyone who has used Vivoā€™s Funtouch will already be familiar with this setup.

Weā€™re not sure when Nubia plans to release the update, but weā€™re pretty sure the release will roll out for Chinese devices first then come to international devices.
