Nubia, in its usual practice, announced the ZTE Nubia Z18 mini earlier in the year without the sibling Nubia Z18. Though there is still not a scheduled official event for the flasghsip Z18, the smartphone has made it to the rumor headlines in the past few months and has today moved closer to been unveiled as it has now appeared on the Geekbench.
While details revealed by the Benchmark site are limited, we do have the model number as NX606J, which tally with the one seen on AnTuTu a while back. The Benchmark site recorded a single-core score of 2344 and a multi-core score of 8933 for the device, thanks in part to the flagship Qualcomm‘s Snapdragon 845 coupled with 6GB of RAM. It also reveals the device will boot Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box.
Recalling the specs details revealed by TENAA, the ZTE Nubia Z18 is tipped to come with a notched display, a dedicated voice assistant button on the left just like on the Z18 Mini while the power button and volume rocker are on opposite side.
