In what could likely be its final daily teaser, Nubia has teased the Z17 as coming with a waterproof body. This isn’t the first time we would be finding out about the waterproof feature of the Z17 flagship but it is the first (well, maybe second) official confirmation of this feature.

Nubia’s co-founder Ni Fei had earlier confirmed the flagship as coming with an IP67 or IP68 waterproof body and this waterproof feature had been demonstrated in a video which leaked a couple of weeks back. The official teaser puts a final seal to the confirmation as it touts that you don’t have to be scared to take the phone out even when it is windy or rainy. This not only confirms the waterproof property but also its dustproof capabilities as dust flies around when it is windy.

The Nubia Z17 promises to be an awesome smartphone, no doubt a true flagship, considering the top-end design and features it is coming with. The Z17 is said to come with a borderless display as well as a dual camera setup and onboard is a Snapdragon 835 chip with 6GB of RAM (there is a rumour of an 8GB RAM version). The device has recently been teased as well as coming with an artificial intelligence (AI) technology which it calls NU. Qualcomm’s latest Quick Charge 4.0 super fast charging technology is also one of the features expected on the Z17 flagship and also up to 128GB UFS 2.1 flash storage. With all these powerful features, it is left to our imaginations to guess how much the beast would cost.

The countdown to the June 1 Nubia flagship conference has now turned from days to hours and soon the conference would come with its packages. But for now, we’ll still continue swimming in leaks and rumors until Nubia unmasks everything. 

A new leak has emerged on china’s Weibo which suggests the Nubia Z17 will come with 8GB RAM! This latest rumor might sound exciting to some, while there are those that might have the opinion that 8GB of RAM on a smartphone is more of an overkill. Well, whichever side of the divide you are, it does not matter as this is just a rumor that cannot be confirmed by us.

However, this adds up to the features the Z17 is said to feature. Some, like a Snapdragon 835 chip and Q.C 4.0 have been confirmed. The phone has also been confirmed to come with an IP67 waterproof body and is also coming with a dual camera setup at the rear. The design is also another interesting aspect, as the Z17 is projected to come with a curved, bezel-less display.

As Nubia’s June 1 flagship conference draw closer, the company continues to tease more and more features of the Z17 as well as the bezel-less device which would likely be launched on that day. The Nubia Z17 has been shown to have a waterproof body and its water resistance feature has been demonstrated in a leaked video. The Z17 is also coming with Qualcomm’s latest chip as well as a dual camera setup. Nubia’s latest teaser focuses on the picture quality of the Z17’s camera.

According to the poster released a few days back, the Nubia Z17 will have good dual cameras which will support 2X zoom shot with the same clarity as without zoom. The dual camera will also have a good night shooting function. The teaser contains an image which projects this powerful feature of the Z17’s camera but which we are not sure is shot be the camera.

The teaser still points at a bezel-less design for the Nubia Z17 and that put us in a confused state if Nubia will be unveiling two smartphones on that day or just the Z17. A leaked image had emerged showing the upper half of a Nubia smartphone with a nearly bezel-less design. The phone is said to be a Nubia bezel-less phone with a screen to body ratio that is likely higher than the Galaxy S8 and even the Xiaomi Mix and not the Z17 but we really can’t be so sure about that. June 1 promises to be an interesting day for tech fans.

Nubia has an event slated for June 1 where the company is expected to release a new smartphone in China. The Nubia Z17 is expected to be released on that day and there have been several teaser posters to that effect. Nubia again released a pre-launch teaser today showing its upcoming device will have a borderless design. Now, the poster suggests it’s going to be an entirely bezel-less affair but the leaked photos of the Z17 doesn’t reflect such level of bezel-lessness. There are indications that Nubia will launch a truly bezel-less smartphone apart from the Z17 and the device will have a high screen-to-body ratio.

We have seen a couple of leaked photos said to be those of the Z17 but recently we brought you an exclusive photo of a leaked bezel-less Nubia smartphone. The leaked image, which the source claim isn’t the Z17, only revealed the top half of the device with ultra-thin borders. Well, we were able to come up with a sketch of what the other half of the front of the Nubia phone looks like. Indeed we may be looking at a revolutionary device without bezels on the side edges and very narrow bezels at the top and bottom. The sketch looks so real you might want to think this is the real design in its entirety but the aspect we are sure of is the upper half. From what we can perceive, the device may have a higher screen to body ratio, even higher than the Galaxy S8 and even the Xiaomi Mi Mix.

The top bezel which is just enough for the selfie camera and phone receiver also houses a dual selfie camera setup. On the other hand, the sketch shows that there is still a front virtual home button marked by the trademark Nubia red ring. Whether this is a new Nubia phone launching soon, we’ll find out about that

Just to remind you that the Nubia Z17 comes with a dual camera setup at the rear and has been confirmed by its TENAA listing to be powered by a Snapdragon 835 chip backed by 6GB of RAM. There are talks of an 8GB version in the works also. The Z17 may likely not get a bezel-less design since Nubia likely has another device with a bezel-less design. The Z17 is also touted to be the first device to use Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 4.0 fast charging technology and would have a waterproof body among a host of other high-end features. The specs of the bezel-less Nubia phone are not known.

ZTE’s elite brand, Nubia will be releasing its 2017 flagship which it christened Nubia z17 on June 1. Ahead of the launch event, the company has commenced what could be daily teasing of the Z17’s main features.

The company today posted a new teaser on the Nubia smartphone Weibo page which teases the Z17’s bezel-less design that sees the reduction in the side bezels around the screen. The leaked images of the Nubia flagship may not have given us a clear glimpse of the extent of the curves the screen would have because the teaser suggests it would be curved on all four sides.

Apart from the borderless display, the Nubia Z17’s teaser also talked about its super fast speed symbolised by a jetliner on the teaser. This is no doubt, due to the Snapdragon 835 chip the device will feature as already revealed on TENAA and on both AuTuTu and GeekBench. That isn’t the only front where the Z17 will be super fast as the flagship has been revealed as coming with Qualcomm’s latest Quick Charge 4.0 fast charging technology. We are likely going to see more teasers before the final launch date.

Qualcomm announced its next-generation Quick Charge 4.0 around November last year, which it disclosed would come with the Snapdragon 835 chip. The Snapdragon 835 is already rolling, with the Samsung Galaxy S8, Xiaomi Mi 6 and Xperia XZ Premium packing the chip, but we are yet to see the QC 4.0 on any of these smartphones. This is perhaps due to the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 explosion saga.

The Galaxy S8 only featured support for a 15W QC 2.0 fast charge, while the Mi 6 and Xperia XZ Premium come with support for 18W QC 3.0 fast charge support. That is about to change as Nubia has now teased that its upcoming flagship, the Z17 would feature the Qualcomm Quick Charge 4.0. The Nubia Z17 is already confirmed to feature the Snapdragon 835 processor which makes it just the right candidate to feature support for QC 4.0. Nubia is reported to have revealed this via a Weibo post which, unfortunately, we could not locate. The post was accompanied by a poster which shows that the device would be launched on June 1, 2016.

As for the features, the QC 4.0 is not just faster, it’s designed to be more efficient and run cooler than prior generations.  When compared to Quick Charge 3.0, Quick Charge 4 is up-to 20 percent faster, or 30 percent more efficient, while charging up to 5° C cooler. The fast charge is touted as capable of delivering up to 50% of charge in just 5 minutes.

Just yesterday, we brought you the news of a leaked video which popped up on China’s Weibo, purported to be that of the upcoming Nubia Z17 functioning under water. The video was meant to demonstrate the IP67 waterproof feature that the Z17 is said to come with. If you still think the video is fake, you may want to think again.

Nubia co-founder and smartphone general manager, Ni Fei has teased the waterproof feature of the Z17 via a Weibo post on his official account. The post seems to be an analysis of the leaked video which showed the Z17 inside a sink and subjected to running tap water. Ni Fei’s post also contained the picture of a working smartphone under a running water source and quite clearly, we could see that this is a Nubia smartphone.

There is no doubt that the Nubia Z17 will indeed come with waterproofing but we’ll have to wait for more details to know the certification level. It is touted to be an IP67 level which means that it is fully protected from dust and can also withstand being submerged in 1m (about 3.3 feet) of water for up to 30 minutes. The Nubia Z17 is also expected to feature a Snapdragon 835 chip as well as a dual camera setup touted to be configured as a 23MP + 12MP camera combination. There is no word yet on its launch date but it is likely dropping very soon.

ZTE’s Nubia Z17 flagship may be the next Snapdragon 835-powered smartphone we would be meeting after the HTC U11 but that isn’t the only spectacular thing about the upcoming model. Apart from the revelation that the device would feature a bezel-less display along with the Snapdragon 835 firepower, the Z17 is also coming with an IP67 water and dustproof build.

A short 15 seconds video clip demonstrating the waterproof property of the Nubia Z17 has appeared online on China’s Weibo. The video clearly shows the device under a running tap inside a sink and still operational! There wasn’t any sign of the functioning being affected by water and the picture still remained sharp and crisp clear. We don’t have many details to verify if really the device is the Nubia Z17 as the video only showed the front view of the device. But the smartphone seems to have a bezel-less display just as the Z17 is said to have. The phone also looks like the Nubia Z11 but the Z11 isn’t waterproof and so, could not have continued functioning under water. You can as well have a peek at the video from here (Weibo account required).

The Nubia Z17 has lately made a couple of appearances on TENAA and in benchmarks including AnTuTu where it was revealed that the flagship may take the bar to 8GB RAM on its topmost model. There is no doubt its launch is close by, considering that the device had even made a brief appearance on Nubia’s official website, perhaps as a test run or a teaser. The Z17 is also expected to come with a dual camera setup touted to be configured as a 23MP + 12MP camera combination. Further, the phone is said to feature the latest version of Android 7.1.1.

A new Nubia smartphone has appeared on AnTuTu’s Weibo page revealing some key specs of the smartphone. The device hits AnTuTu with the model number Nubia NX563J and the major highlight on the device is the Snapdragon 835 processor it is listed to feature. The Nubia smartphone is very much believed to be the Nubia Z17 which has been the subject of leaks and rumors lately.

The Snapdragon 835 chip is backed by a 6GB RAM while there is a massive 128GB storage onboard. The Nubia smartphone is also listed to pack the Adreno 540 GPU and run on Android 7.0 Nougat. The display size isn’t listed but the suspected Nubia Z17 is pitched as having a 1920 x 1080 pixels display resolution. Finally, we had heard rumours that the Z17 will sport a dual-lens camera setup but all we have on the AnTuTu listing is a single 12MP main camera. That doesn’t rule out the likelihood of the Z17 packing dual cameras at the rear.

Although the AnTuTu listing isn’t the last we’d be hearing about the Nubia Z17 but it goes to show that a launch is imminent. The device had earlier appeared on GeekBench with the same NX563J model number and just recently, the Z17 was spotted on Nubia’s official website with similar specifications.  We expect a launch any moment from now and if that happens, that would make Nubia one of the early birds to the Snapdragon 835 elite club.

The post Suspected Nubia Z17 Appears on AnTuTu, Snapdragon 835 in Tow appeared first on Gizmochina.

A new Nubia smartphone suspected to be the Nubia Z17 has appeared on. the pages of benchmarking website, GeekBench. The device came with the model number NX563J  and is surprisingly packing Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 835 chipset inside it.

The listed device may not have been categorically named as Nubia Z17 but since Nubia just released the Z17 Mini, the next model that is expected is the Z17. Besides, the Z17 Mini did appear on TENAA with a similar NX569J model number. As you would have known by now, the MSM8998 is the Snapdragon 835 which is with an Octa-core CPU clocked at 1.90GHz in this case.

The processor is backed by 4GB of RAM which could possibly be the base variant considering the Z17 Mini had a higher variant with 6GB of RAM. The Nuba NX563J is also listed as running Android 7 Nougat out of the box. On the benchmark score, the device’s score is consistent with that of the Galaxy S8+ benchmark score. On the single core test, it had a score of 1853 points, while it scores 6379 points on the multi-core test.

Quite curiously, Nubia had teased the Nubia Z17 sometime back with a massive 5,000mAh battery, and a somewhat unlikely Helio P10 chip. The processor looks unlikely now that the Z17 Mini came out with a Snapdragon 652 and SD 653 chips. The Z17 can not feature a chip inferior to that of the Z17 Mini.

ZTE’s elite brand Nubia has always reserved the Z-series for its flagship models but today Nubia official website in a strange manner teased an unannounced Nubia Z17 smartphone which sports a sleek design. As usual, Nubia’s smartphones come with spectacular designs that are always beauties to behold.

The Z17 doesn’t disappoint either, despite not really falling into the flagship cadre. But that isn’t the most spectacular thing about the teased smartphone. What stands out the most on the device is the mammoth 5,000mAh battery touted to be inside the smartphone which is sure going to keep the lights on for a long time. The device features a metal body which would likely be available in black and gold colors.

Specs wise, the Nubia Z17 sports a 5.5-inch LCD display with a resolution 1920 x 1080 pixels. The smartphone is powered by a mid-range MediaTek Helio P10 chipset backed by 3GB of RAM. This is a clear indication that the smartphone is a budget smartphone but some will be disappointed the phone isn’t having a Snapdragon chip. Further, the Z17 comes with 64GB of internal storage which can be expanded up to 128GB via microSD card.
