A Review of the Nubia Z7 Mini

In March 2014, Nubia introduced their big-screen flagship phone, the Nubia Z6. Its top-notch specs and 6.4-inch screen made a big impression on the audience.1093292

Invitation to Nubia’s launch event

 

 

Just four months later on July 8, Nubia held a launch event for their summer releases. These products were the Nubia Z7, Z7 Mini, and Z7 Max. Within just half a year, Nubia has released four new phones which is amazing.1093292

Invitation to Nubia’s launch event

Just four months later on July 8, Nubia held a launch event for their summer releases. These products were the Nubia Z7, Z7 Mini, and Z7 Max. Within just half a year, Nubia has released four new phones which is amazing.

All three follow the Nubia Z5S’ footsteps with the Z7 at the top, Max copying the Nubia Z5S’s (Big cow) style, and the Mini continuing the Z5S mini’s style (Big Cow 2). Here, the writer will introduce the Z7 mini smart phone.

 

Design changes (I)

 

A good design for a product can be continued in the next generation. Some people may say that you’re out of ideas but who could possibly criticize a reasonable design? Just look at Apple’s iPhone series?1093293

 

The Z7 mini continues its predecessor’s design

1093296

The classic “Home” button

       Like the Nubia Z5S mini, the Z7 mini has a very slender design and follows a black and white color scheme. A completely black edition may be released in the future. The Z7’s red “Home” button is located at the bottom of the screen in the middle of two red buttons. 1093294

The back of the Z7 mini

 

The Z7 mini’s back is made of frosted glass like the Z5S mini, but its sides are more flexible and hearty. You can clearly see that there are sharp edges on the back of the phone but it doesn’t make any less comfortable to carry the phone.1093307

Design changes (II)

 

The Z7 mini’s ports and sockets are arranged properly making it a phone that could not possibly sold for a cheap price. The volume and power buttons are located on the right side so that the user can carry the phone using his or her left hand. 10933021093305

Rear case is detachable but not the battery1093306

Dual-SIM and Micro SD

       As an Android smart phone that costs around 1500 RMB (242.03 USD), the Nubia Z7 mini has a detachable rear cover. After taking the rear case off, we can see that this phone does not have a detachable battery but has a Micro SIM slot and Micro SD port. This design makes it easier to use this phone.1093297

5-inch screen has a smooth texture

       Not a lot of upgrades were done on the Nubia Z7 Mini’s screen. It still has a 5-inch FHD IPS display screen which should actually be go enough for many users.

 

Camera specs and photo display

 

       Almost every time Nubia releases a new phone, they seem to make a new breakthrough with their camera specs. Of course, the Nubia Z7 Mini is no exception. Nebula was included in the Mini edition which uses on the new Neo Vision 4.0. Not only does Depth of field preview and hand movements make more fun to take photos using the Z7 mini but also help the photographer take better photos.  

        1093328

The red area is the field of depth preview

 

The one photo function that everyone will quickly remember is the field of depth preview feature. When we turn this on and use the phone’s focus function, a lot of red marks will appear on the display screen. Those who do not understand this will think that the camera is broken, when actually this is the Z7 Mini’s newest feature. Those areas marked in red are areas being focused on.1093397

Photo taken in manual focus

       Using the camera on manual focus will also leave a great impression on the user. After selecting macro mode (on manual fuss), you can adjust the distance by yourself and take a photo at the right moment.

 

Of course, the Nubia Z7 mini has so many great photo features. I won’t describe them all now. Those who want to know about the Neo Vision 4.0’s newest friends can look at the photography taking essay which is coming soon.

 

Photos taken by the Nubia Z7 Mini

 

       Although the Nubia Z7’s camera specs are great, for the regular consumer, one can take the most photos using auto mode which is the easiest and simplest to use. It can all be done in just one snap. Here are some photos that I talk using the Z7 Mini in auto mode. What do you think?1093395 1093394 1093393

Photos taken using the Nubia Z7

       Without using any advanced photo functions, the Nubia Z7 Mini can take excellent photos.

 

Nubia Z7 mini hardware and benchmark score

 

       Photography lies in the heart of the Nubia series but it’s also notable for its powerful hardware. 1093311 1093309

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

10933101093308

To attract more customers who wanted powerful hardware, ZTE put in one of the most powerful mobile phone chipsets today in the Nubia Z7 Mini, the Snapdragon 801 quad-core processor (Main frequency, 2.0GHz). This phone also has 2GB RAM and 16GB ROM, and also supports dual-SIM and micro SD expansion card. It is very hard to find a cell phone like this at the 1500 RMB (241.83 USD) price level.

1093353 1093354

Antutu Benchmark test of the Z7 Mini

       Many say that benchmark scores cannot represent a device’s performance, but they objectively show whether a certain hardware works. The Nubia Z7 was fortunately able to score 31062 points in the Antutu benchmark test. Although this is not really the highest a device has gotten, it is considered average. After all, the phone’s processor has a main frequency of 2.0GHz.1093359

After having powerful hardware, the best way to test a phone’s performance is through its games and video streaming. Below is a snapshot of the Z7 mini streaming a video. Even if the phone’s main frequency was lowered to 2GHz, there wouldn’t be any compression in the video.1093365

Game performance is very good

       The Z7 mini is also very good for gaming. The graphics are excellent and the program runs smoothly.

 

UI/Conclusion

 

When the Nubia X6 was first released, we were first introduced to the Nubia UI 2.0 whose flattened icons and personalized design made a deep impression on us. The Z7 mini uses a follow-up to this UI, the Nubia UI 2.5. However, not a lot of changes were made.

1093340 1093338

1093334 1093335

The Z7 Mini’s UI

       The purity and simplicity of the Z7 Mini’s UI makes it more comfortable for users to handle. In fact, this is one of the main concepts that Nubia has followed. As Nubia continues to update their UI, their phones become easier and more comfortable to use.

Conclusion:

 

       1499 RMB is surprisingly affordable for a phone with such powerful features. The Z7 Mini is one of the best phones around the 1500 RMB price level. I believe that after Nubia formally launches the Z7 Mini, it will breathe new life into the market. Let’s wait and see.

OnePlus One vs OPPO Find 7 vs Nubia Z7

 

It is an exciting time for the smartphone lover, there are plenty of great phones out there at the minute to splash the cash on, and so to help you decide what the best great phone is for you, here are the 3 most exalted flagships of the year compared for you.

where to buy oneplus oneoppo-find-7-05z7nubia2.0

PERFORMANCE

All three phones share the same basic performance as far as hardware is concerned. There is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chipset, a quad-core 2500 MHz Krait 400 processor, Adreno 330 graphics behind each of them, making them really very similar devices. There is the same amount of RAM (3GB) present in each also, but the ROM shows some significant differences; with the OnePlus One having 16GB, the Find 7 and the Z7 having 32GB.

MEMORY AND BATTERY

Another big difference is that the only one which is Micro-SD expandable is the Find 7, so this one is the clear winner here. The Z7 does well too, but the OnePlus One falls short, with only half the storage capacity of the others and no means of expanding it. If you store a lot of large files on your phone, the OnePlus One might not be your best bet. The battery is slightly better on the OnePlus One however, being 3100 mAh, compared to the others, which have a 3000 mAh, this may not make much difference, but it all helps and smartphone battery life is a very important factor, nobody likes running out of battery half way through the day.

DISPLAY/CAMERA

The display is another area where the Find 7 and the Z7 perform almost identically and the OPO falls short; they all have a 5.5 inch screen but the resolution is much higher on the Find 7 and the Z7 (1440 x 2560) compared to the 1080 x 1920 OnePlus One. The pixel counts are 401 PPI for the OnePlus One, 534 PPI for the Nubia Z7 and 538 PPI for the Find 7. This is a pretty big difference, and if display is an important feature then it makes sense to bypass the OnePlus One and choose one of the others instead. The cameras are equally capable across all three models, 13MP rear and 5MP front, with all three capable of producing some top quality pictures.

OPERATING SYSTEM AND USER INTERFACE

The OnePlus One runs Android 4.4 with CyanogenMod 11s, the Find 7 runs Android 4.3 with Color OS and the Z7 runs Android 4.4 with Nubia 2.0. It depends on your preferred language which is best here, as the CyanogenMod is for native English speakers, whereas the other two are in Chinese. It is easy enough to put CyanogenMod over the other UIs but it is worth comparing these as they are sold. If you require English, then go for the CyanogenMod UI, it is a no-brainer. If you prefer your phone in Chinese, however, you have options. Color OS is considered the better of the two Chinese UIs, so the Find 7 takes the lead if you want a Chinese interface, even though it is based on the Android 4.3 instead of 4.4.

VERDICT

So, after all this, what’s the bottom line? Well there’s really not much between the phones, the overall performance winner is probably the Find 7, it matches the best in every category, the Nubia Z7, is arguably second, let down only by the benchmark score. The OnePlus One is in third place everywhere there is a difference except for the benchmarks where it scores incredibly well. This is of course, before we factor in the price –  and this is a pretty game-changing consideration. the OnePlus is almost holding its own here with the specs, made of the same stuff and a true flagship killer according to the benchmarks. The OnePlus is also half the price of the Find 7, saving you $300, and it is $250 less than the Nubia Z7. The question is, then, would you pay $300 for a better display and double the ROM? If yes, then choose the Find 7 or the Nubia Z7, if you aren’t actually that bothered and can think of something else to spend $300 on, go for the OnePlus One.

ZOPO’s 4G phone, the ZP320, coming soon: Supports LTE and costs 199.99 USD (about 1240 RMB)

Not surprisingly, the cell phone market has been focusing more on products that support 4G internet. There have been more LTE-supported phones coming out and killing their 3G counterparts in sales, ushering the 4G era.

ZOPO joins the 4G invasion with their new phone, the ZP320. ZOPO has already lowered its price for the foreign market. The ZP320, right now, cost 199.99 USD.

The ZOPO ZP320’s specs are pretty much what you would find in most phones right now. It uses a combination of the MT6582 quad-core processor and the MT6290. It supports FDD-LTE/WCDMA/GSM and only has one Micro SIM slot. It sports a 5-inch IPS display screen with qHD resolution (960 x 540), and has 1GB RAM and 8GB ROM which can be expanded. It also has a 2mp/8mp dual-camera and is powered by a 2300 ma battery. Like other MTK 4G phones, the ZP320 uses the Android 4.4.2 kitkat OS.

The ZOPO ZP320 is obviously a 4G elementary-level product that’s aimed at the mid and low-end market considering its average specs.

ZTE Nubia Z7 Review: A Top-range Phone With Dual SIM 4G LTE

1

Nubia Z7 is another flasghip from Nubia after the Nubia X6 this year, there are some serious improvements and the new Z7 is a serious smartphone that should serve to cement ZTE’s reputation as a world-leader in high-end smartphone design. It has been worth the hype and the wait and what follows is why.

1 The Build-Up

The Nubia Z7 is the new, long-awaited flagship from ZTE, following on from the competetive Nubia X6 . Since the announcement of the Z7 there have been teasing photographs released and even an online questionnaire trying to get people to guess the specs of the Nubia Z7, generating a buzz without giving much away. The teasing can stop now though, because it is finally available and with all the hints and obscure photographs forgotten, what do we actually have left? Is there anything special underneath all the intriguing marketing ploys? Well it turns out there are a series of phones, not just the one. The Nubia Z7 Max and Z7 Mini have been released simultaneously. For this review though, we’ll focus on the Nubia Z7 flagship only, and yes, it is actually pretty special.

2 Appearance

Firstly the Nubia Z7 a well-designed smartphone, with the teaser pictures being an accurate portrayal of the square shape and metallic sides, it looks a bit like an iPhone or an Ascend P6/P7. The black front and black back cover give the phone a very stylish look.

6 5 8 9There’s the (now customary) red ring around the camera and enter button we’ve come to expect from ZTE too. The camera is set deep into the phone, with no protrusions, making the viewpoint better and giving the smartphone a better look and feel. Overall the appearance manages to be uncluttered, sleek and distinctive at the same time, quite an achievement and making a very attractive smartphone. It’s quite slim too, only 8.5mm thick, making it light for it’s size and easily carried around, the cover has a good feel too and it doesn’t get marked by fingerprints easily and not too slippery in the hand.

The red home button has been inherited from the first generation of Nubia.

There are receiver, front camera and light sensor at it’s front.

CPU/Memory

 Nubia Z7’s Nenamark benchmark

The Nubia Z7 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 quad-core processor, which while acceptable, is a bit of a let-down. Most of us already have a quad-core smartphone, and people are now expecting octa-core from new flagships. There are already many octa-core flagships on the way that the Z7 will have to compete with so this may well be an issue. Why not wait a few more months and take your pick from the range of octa-core devices available instead? The processor isn’t terrible, just nothing new, and performance shouldn’t suffer too much; it is a pretty capable piece of kit and there’s plenty of RAM for it to play with (3GB). The GPU is a Adreno 420, and there’s 32GB ROM too, which is expandable through MicroSD so there’s no problem storing a lot of your games or other large files. If you’re intending to download a television series, go right ahead.

 

Display/Interface

418ILD6B9EJD9_DSC08169_500

The display is a lovely 2560 x 1440 resolution 5.5 inch screen, given it a truly impressive pixel count (445 PPI) and making gameplay and video playback HD quality. It is the first phone to have a RAM-supported auto-refresh function for its 2K screen. All this is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass, which keeps the screen safe from scratches and cracks, which is great, it would be a tragedy to have all this capability and ruin it with screen damage. There aren’t any better display packages on the market at the moment and if this feature is something you look for then you won’t go far wrong here.

There is also a developed User Interface, with the Android 4.4 Kitkat overlayed with the Nubia UI, which has been upgraded to Nubia 2.0. Without using the phone it is hard to tell whether this makes a massive difference but it will be interesting to see what the new features and tweaks are in this newer interface.

3 Camera

One major bonus of the Nubia Z7 is the 13MP OSI optical Vibration Reduction rear camera, purported to have taken this picture of the Milky Way with the help of a star tracker. It supports a f/2.0-f/22 aperture and its photo software is the new Neo Vision 4.0.  This is a great camera, which also benefits from OIS optical stability function and LED flash, so for people who take a lot of photos, this would be a huge advantage. The front camera is 5 MP, which is perfectly fine for a front shooter.

Dule-SIM card

Both of the SIM card supports 3G and 4G

The Nubia Z7  supports internet networks provided by China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom. They also support TD-LTE, FDD-LTE, TD-SCDMA, WCDMA, EVDO, and GSM internet as well as dual-SIM 4G internet. This is excellent coverage and connection problems shouldn’t be an issue with such a range and the dual-SIM capacity.

 

5 Extra features/Accessories

Y8O1Q59M38KG_DSC08051_conew2_500

Nubia Z7 support OTG

There is GPS, A-GPS, OTG and the latest in smartphone must-haves, the fingerprint scanner; it’s a good security feature and something of a novelty for gadget lovers. It comes boxed with the usual accessories, battery, USB cable, charger and user manual. The battery is a decent size, and features quick recharging. Another handy feature is the addition of MHL 3.0.

6 Verdict 

The Nubia Z7 is a good phone with some great features making some great progress from its predecessor the X6. For those who require a good camera and excellent display, you won’t find much better available on the market. With the only let-down being the quad-core processor, and this not being poor, just not brilliant, the phone itself is definitely a triumph. For the price tag you’re getting a very well-designed and powerful device that really is a flagship to take notice of, especially if camera and display are your thing. It is these areas where the Z7 excels, and there really isn’t anything available at the moment that can beat it.

 

ZTE Nubia Z7, Nubia Z7 Max, and Nubia Z7 mini Hands-on

zte nubia z7

ZTE Nubia Z7, Nubia Z7 max and Nubia Z7 mini are released in Beijing this afternoon. The new Nubia Z7 series include 3 different model. There is only a few difference on specs with similar design. Here is ZTE nubia Z7 phones hands-on pictures.

ZTE Nubia Z7 series released: the Difference Between Nubia Z7, Nubia Z7 max and Nubia Z7 mini

nubia z7

 

At a launch event in Beijing this afternoon, ZTE Nubia revealed a series of phones in their new Nubia Z7 series. These are the Nubia Z7, Z7 Max, and Z7 Mini. Here’s an analysis on the similarities and difference between the three:

ZTE Nubia Z7

It sports a 5.5-inch 2K screen (2560 x 1440) and 13mp rear-facing camera. It is also the first phone to have a RAM-supported auto-refresh function for its 2K screen.

The Nubia Z7 uses the Snapdragon 801 quad-core processor, not the 805 as previous reports have said. It has a main frequency of 2.5GHz and has 3GB RAM and 32GB internal memory storage. It also quick recharging and supports MHL 3.0.

As for its camera, it has a rear-facing camera with 13mp and supports a f/2.0-f/22 aperture. Its photo software is the new Neo Vision 4.0.

ZTE Nubia Z7 Max and ZTE Nubia Z7 mini

It also sports a 5.5-inch display screen but its resolution has been decreased to just 1080p (HD). The Mini version only has a 1080p screen.

Similarities:

All three use the Snapdragon 801 processor. They support internet networks provided by China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom. They also support TD-LTE, FDD-LTE, TD-SCDMA, WCDMA, EVDO, and GSM internet as well as dual-SIM 4G internet.

Having 2GB RAM and 16GB internal memory storage, the iOcean X7S-T Edition coming soon

As iOcean continues to introduce new products to the market with the upcoming X8 mini and X8 mini Pro, they will also soon release an enhanced edition of the classic iOcean X7, the X7S-T Edition.

It might seem that the “T” may make people think that this is the TD version of the iOcean X7S, but it really isn’t. It’s actually the youth edition of the X7S Deluxe Edition with lower specs. T-Edition still retains the Deluxe Edition’s 5-inch IPS display screen supported by OGS technology but its resolution was dropped from 1080p to 720p. It sports a 2Mp/8Mp camera.

 

The rest of the X7S-T’s specs are almost completely the same as the Deluxe Edition’s. It has 2GB RAM and 16GB internal memory storage, uses the 1.7GHz MTK6592 octa-core processor, and still supports a gyroscope and electric compass. The most important thing about the X7S-T is that it will use the Android 4.4 OS! In addition, it still has a detachable 2000ma battery, and supports WCDMA+GSM dual-SIM and an expandable memory card.

 

Aw of now, there is no clear release date for the X7S-T but it should not be long. The low-end edition should be cheaper than the X7S Deluxe to satisfy many people.
