ZTE Nubia Z5 measures in at 7.6mm could be thinner than Oppo Find 5

With Oppo launching the Oppo Find 5 today, rival manufacturers across China (the globe) are hurriedly trying to get their phones on the market ahead of Christmas. The Nubia Z5 could be the first and is expected around Christmas day, but could it also be the thinnest?

The Oppo Find 5 launch (later today) is one of the most anticipated Chinese phone launches of the year. Knowing what we do about the specification, and judging by Oppo's design and attention to create super thin phones, we are expecting a lot from their latest flagship phone.

But it's not only the public's attention Oppo have managed to grab, as rival's ZTE are also planning to launch their 5 inch 1080 phone soon, and it could be even thinner than the Find 5.

Leaked photos of the Nubia Z5 claim to show the thickness of the phone compared to the iPhone 5 (see above) which shows the 5 inch Nubia Z5 to measure in at an amazing 7.6mm!

On the specification front, the Nubia Z5 is rumoured to be very similar to the Oppo Find 5 and the HTC Butterfly and will ship with a quad-core CPU, 5-inch 1920 x 1080 screen, 2GB RAM and a 12 mega-pixel camera. No details of pricing but we expect the Z5 to cost around $450-$500 and will be available from around the 25th December!
