Nubia already grabbed our attention this year with the launch of the Z11 Min and Max, but today they go flagship hunting with the borderless Z11 with Snapdragon 820 chipset.
While some smartphone makers have separated beauty and power, Nubia have combined the two with the Z11 which sports an elegant metal body, borderless design and the power to go gaming with a Snapdragon 820.
With the chipset running at 2.15Ghz, Nubia haven’t wanted to bottle neck all that power with a tiny amount of RAM so have released a highend model with 6GB RAM (128GB memory) and a more affordable version with 4GB RAM (64GB) memory.
Should that on board storage prove insufficient for your media needs then don’t worry as the Z11 will also accept SD cards, and yes there are dual SIM trays too.
Gizchina News of the week
The borderless display is going to be a major selling point of the Z11, but it is interesting to see ZTE haven’t been lured in the QHD race, and a 5.5-inch 1920 x 1080 panel has been specced instead. This lower res screen is good news conceding the slender phone has ‘just’ a 3000mAh battery.
Camera specs include a 16 mega-pixel Sony IMX298 rear sensor with OIS, F2.0 aperture and PDAF, while the front camera is an 8 mega-pixel sensor with F2.4 aperture and 80 degree wide angle.
Other features include a rear fingerprint scanner with a claimed unlock speed of 0.1 seconds, fast charging and edge gestures.
Pricing is rather good too with the 4GB RAM model weighing in at 2499 Yuan and the 6GB RAM model up at 3499 Yuan.
Price is good. But it probably won’t have Band 20 LTE does it?
Probably not. Nubia has been slow to adopt foreign LTE bands.
No band 20 on that version maybe on an international one http://www.nubia.com/nubiaz11?type=params
Sweet… The specs is good. My only gripe is the battery but with fast charging and good software optimization, that will suffice. I’m a very heavy user because I connect to my several VPS a lot of time and that runs down battery a lot.
Does anyone here know of a Snapdragon 820 smartphone that has a >/= 6″ display, >/= 4GB RAM, >/= 4000mAh battery and 64GB minimum internal memory and dual SIM?
I need that kinda device to combine with a 5.5inch phone. Please let me know of you know of one.
I’m actually looking for similar device.
I’m interested in Galaxy A9 Pro, but no info about EU release so far.
It does not seem to exist yet.
The closest I can find is the LeEco Le Max Pro, but it only has a 3400mah battery.

If you look for 6 inch or bigger, 4000mah+, 4gb RAM+ 64GB storage+ then there are a few options, but none has a snapdragon 820

The new 360 Mobile that might launch mid July.
The Mate 8 might not have SD820 but better CPU ,lesser GPU and no 4k video.
Although, from a value point of view SD820 devices are a poor choice.
@realjjj:disqus , i have asked this like a BILLION TIMES!
when will the 6.0 inch 360 Mobile with SD 820 launch man ?!
From a value point the Kirin is better?
The Mate 8 costs twice as much as any SD 820 competitors (Oneplus, ZuK, Xiaomi,Letv).
You would sell your mother for a bunch of Geekbench points
Except for the battery ….

How could I get this phone in Europe?
Check the website below for updated prices, every reseller listed on it will ship to Europe. Currently this model is still too new to be listed but it will be once resellers get stock of it.

Maybe they’ll launch it on their european shop though
Thanks!!!!
No problem. That is a great site to use for all Chinese phones. They aggregate prices from around 120 online retailers. Prices can change daily or weekly so it’s good to check often when you plan on buying.
Great! Now launch the keyboard and mouse accessories to go with it ;D
If there is no black model (with the awesome red camera ring) it is not a true Nubia phone to me. They went for the same boring colors everyone else is doing. This phone looks more like the new Gionee S8 than older Nubia’s. Very disappointed by this design. They just made my decision for a new phone a lot easier by destroying the originality Nubia’s had. Zuk Z2 Pro and Huawei P9 for the win.
Black for the win!
Btw if you’re looking for a good camera, the Z2 (Pro) might not be an option for you.
Photos look awesome with a little over saturated green.
But videos are really disappointing, on YT there is a comparison between Huawei P9 Plus, OnePlus 3, Zuk Z2 (Pro?) and Xiaomi Mi5.
Zuk has problems in low light conditions, framerate drop..
Edit: It’s so funny, all interesting phones to me are using Sony IMX298 sensor (or 16MP, Xiaomi Mi Max is an alternative, sadly without OIS).
I only use the camera for pictures, video is of no real concern to me.
Well then the Zuk might be the real thing for you lol
I wished Xiaomi Mi Max would have a better video camera, photos look very nice (oversharpened for sure).
The thing is: Xiaomi Mi Max with Mi5 camera would be perfect, OnePlus 3 audio recording is currently a huge letdown.
asus zenfone 3 deluxe use imx318!! with 23MP,,…also with 256GB storage..

That’s true, Z11 mini looks way better than this one, bad they changed to the typical metal model as any brand , miss the ring too.

That’s only the front I was talking about the rear.
the Ronaldo “special edition” is black on the front and back (if you can live with the gold bands and gold signature). It’s a bit of a shame, as an all-black one would be my preference too – but they have always done what they want with the flagships – I never understood why the Z7 had a black front panel white back.
Yeah, I assumed that they have rear colour as well because they say multicolour on the site.
From the colors shown here it’s just Gold, Silver and Gray.
I like the round circle as well, maybe if they had black would have been my next phone as well. Round circle and the camera.
Good design and spec,i want to see how the camera perform compared to mi5
Well they are not Corporate God mofos that’s why they stick to perfect Full HD Display.
Border less display seems interesting.
it luks lyk redme 3 prow from back
I just hope they freakin add European basebands so that we can use it.
Generic pisspot design not in line with the Nubia design language. Antenna bands too.
Fuck this generic shit.
cool, but when comes the version 6/128 brown color ?
Yes ! Champagne gold ! xD
