Looks like January is going to be an important month for Nubia. After rumors about a Jan 5 release of the Z11 turned out to be false, we were hoping that the company would release the device sometime soon. Yesterday, the company started sending out invitations for its January 18 event and we assumed it could be for the recently leaked Z11. But now, a few images of another handset have been leaked, most likely of the Nubia X8. So, we could see either of these devices at the event this month.

From the pictures, we can see that the Nubia X8 comes with an all metal body with a fingerprint sensor at the back. The leaked model actually reminds us of a phone that we had seen earlier. Remember, a few weeks back, we spotted an unknown Nubia model with fingerprint at a company event? Well, this looks like the larger model of that smartphone. Have a look at that leaked image from down below.

Today’s leaked phone looks large, which means it will most likely feature a gigantic 6.44-inch display like its predecessor, the Nubia X6. However, the resolution will reportedly be bumped up to 2K.

Another major highlight of the phone is going to the chipset inside. It is said that the phone will be coming with Snapdragon 820 quad-core SoC. And to support the high-end specs of the device, there will be a large 4500mAh battery on board.

The bezels of the phone look super thin and the screen to body ratio is also quite impressive. Looks like we are soon going to meet another beautiful Nubia flagship. Other details of the Nubia X8 is not known, but we will update you guys if anything more comes up.

Nubia has an official event on January 18, which means we will get to know very soon whether we meet the X8 or the Z11.

Meanwhile, you can check out more pictures of the beautiful Nubia X8 flagship from down below.

Just yesterday, we came across a couple of alleged pictures of the ZTE Nubia X8. Now, more pictures have been leaked online revealing some new features of the device.

According to the new leak, the Nubia X8 flagship will feature the latest reversible USB Type-C port. This would be a logical move since almost every smartphone that have been released recently come with Type-C port instead of the traditional one. We can confirm this from the image down above.

Also, the images reveal that the X8 will feature a similar design as the Nubia Z series family with an all metal body. The leak shows off a device in gold color. We can also see the front of the device, which shows that the phone will be bezelless. Of course, there is a possibility that there might be thin black bezels around the display. However, given that the Nubia Z9 was bezelless and the bezelless look of the teaser image, we can expect the same display on the X8 too.

The front looks pretty normal with the standard red color home button and camera and a bunch of sensor on top. At the back, we can see the rear camera unit with LED flash. What’s interesting though, is the side buttons. It looks like the volume keys will be touch sensitive. Also, the power button is said to feature fingerprint recognition as well.

Unfortunately, we still don’t have much idea about the specs, but you can expect high-end features on the upcoming device like 5.5/5.7-inch 2K display, 4GB RAM & 5120mAh battery.

Given that Nubia has an event on October 15, we may see the Nubia X8 flagship as soon as this Thursday.

Stay tuned for more information.

Back in May, we had come across a new leak which showed off the ZTE Nubia X8. However, since that time, we haven’t heard much about this particular smartphone. Now, Nubia phone has just released a new teaser on their Weibo page, and from the picture, it looks like this particular device will also be bezelless. Further, the teaser image comes with an X at the bottom, which could be a hint that this is the rumored Nubia X8.

While we will most likely see this handset as soon as October 15, a new leak shows us some of the features of the phone even before the launch. First of all, as you can see, the phone comes in pure gold color with a basic Nubia Z9 like design.

However, what makes this design even more interesting is the buttons on the side. You can see that they are not the traditional volume button that we have seen on smartphones. They look like touch based side buttons, which will make it unique among latest offerings. Also, the power button is expected to integrate a fingerprint sensor.

Like the ZTE Nubia Z9 which was bezelless, the Nubia X8 is also said to be bezelless featuring an improved 2.5D arch egde display. As for the specs, earlier leak hinted that the phone might come with a 5.5-inch 2K display with 4GB RAM, and a large 5120mAh battery. But these specs are yet to be confirmed. Since the company has already released a teaser, we can expect the launch on October 15, which is just a couple of days away.

So stay tuned for more details.
