Multiple instances of Nubia NX616J smartphone that is believed to debut as Nubia X have been spotted on Geekbench benchmarking platform. The listings have revealed some of the key specs of the smartphone.

The Nubia NX616J listing reveals that it is preinstalled with Android 8.1 Oreo OS. The Snapdragon 845 chipset powers the smartphone along with 6 GB of RAM. All the listings of the Nubia NX616J that have surfaced so far on the benchmarking platform carry the same specs. In the screenshot shown below, the handset has scored 2108 and 7275 points in single-core and multi-core tests, respectively. In another listing, it has scored 2318 and 7988 points in single-core and multi-core tests, respectively.

Nubia has recently confirmed that it will be hosting a launch event on Oct. 31 to announce the next smartphone. Some rumors have claimed that it would be called Nubia Z18s, but the launch event poster has suggested that it will be Nubia X. The Master Lu Chinese benchmarking platform has revealed that it will be available in 8 GB RAM edition. The handset had also appeared on TENAA with full specifications at the end of the previous month.

The TENAA listing of the Nubia NX616J has revealed that it will be arriving with a main LCD display of 6.26 inches that carries support for Full HD+ resolution of 2280 x 1080 pixels. It is equipped with a second display on its rear that carries support for 5.1 inches that produces HD+ resolution of 720 x 1520 pixels.

Nubia has a phone with dual displays in development. The phone already appeared in a bunch of photos and has also gotten its TENAA certification. The phone was originally referred to as the Nubia Z18S, however, a launch poster has revealed that it will be officially known as the Nubia X.

Earlier today, Nubia’s CEO, Ni Fei, took to Weibo where he shared the launch poster for the upcoming flagship phone. The poster says the device will launch on October 31 and also reveals the date is the manufacturer’s 6th anniversary. We believe the event will be a big one since the date also doubles as their anniversary.

The Nubia X’s selling point is its dual display design. It has a bezel-less 6.26-inch LCD FHD+ display on one side and a 5.1-inch HD+ OLED screen on the other side. It is powered by the Snapdragon 845 processor and will be available with 6GB/8GB of RAM and 64GB/128GB of storage.

The phone has only two cameras and they are on the same side – above the smaller display. The primary camera is a 24MP sensor and the secondary camera is a 16MP sensor just like the rear cameras of the Nubia Z18.

The Nubia X doesn’t have a fingerprint scanner on either side but the TENAA images show an indentation on the left and right sides of the metal frame. We want to believe each indentation is home to a fingerprint scanner or at least one is home to a scanner.

The Nubia X will come with a 3800mAh battery with support for fast charging. It will run Android 8.1 oreo out of the box and be available in black and gold.

Nubia’s forthcoming dual screen smartphone is speculated to go official as Nubia Z18s. The specifications and images of the alleged Z18s have already appeared through its TENAA listing. According to the TENAA listing, the smartphone has a model number of NX616J. Today, the same Nubia NX616J smartphone have appeared on Chinese benchmarking platform called Master Lu through which key specs have been confirmed.

According to the Master Lu listing of the NX616J smartphone, its display supports 2280 x 1080 pixels. This seems to be the front display of the smartphone. It is fueled by Snapdragon 845 chipset. The SoC is coupled with 8 GB of RAM. These specs have also surfaced through the TENAA listing of the phone.

TENAA has confirmed that the Nubia NX616J is a dual display phone. The front LCD screen measures 6.26 inches and offers an aspect ratio of 19:9. The rear side of the phone is fitted with OLED screen of 5.1 inches that supports HD+ resolution of 720 x 1520 pixels and an aspect ratio of 18:9. The TENAA images have confirmed that the handset will come equipped with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor.

All the smartphones that are available in the market are equipped with front-facing camera, but the alleged Nubia NX616J does not feature a selfie camera. The reason behind it that the 24-megapixel + 16-megapixel dual camera placed on the back panel of the smartphone can be used to capture top quality selfie shots by using the rear display as viewfinder.

The 8 GB RAM variant of the alleged Nubia Z18s will feature 128 GB of storage. Its 6 GB RAM model will come with 64 GB of storage. The handset will be loaded with Android 8.1 Oreo OS. The 3,800mAh battery of the phone will carry support for fast charging. The handset has already appeared in leaked hands-on videos and photos which indicates its arrival may not be far away. Nubia is yet to reveal any official information on the Nubia NX616J.

TENAA has updated its listing of the dual-screen wielding Nubia Z18S with images. These images reveal that screens and cameras are not the only features we will be getting a double dose of in Nubia’s next flagship.

If you have seen the leaked hands-on videos and photos of the Nubia Z18s, you will agree it is hard to tell if it has a fingerprint sensor but the TENAA listing confirmed it does have a fingerprint sensor. The question is where is it or should it be where are they?

The new TENAA images show the sides of the phone and both sides have an indentation prompting us to believe the Nubia Z18s will come with dual side-mounted fingerprint scanners. There is a sensor on the right, just below the power button and another sensor is positioned on the left just below the volume rocker. Both sensors are also at the same height.

One image of the phone shows the device has double LEDs on the rear. There is also a small slit above the bigger display between the screen and frame which is for the speaker and on the left side of the phone is a SIM tray.

Its dual cameras are a combination of a 24MP sensor and a 16MP sensor. It will run Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box and pack a 3800mAh battery with support for fast charging.

The post TENAA images show the Nubia Z18S may come with dual side-mounted fingerprint scanners appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier this week, live photos of a dual-screen Nubia phone appeared on the web. We later discovered that the device is the Nubia Z18S which leaked even before the Nubia Z18 was announced. The device has landed on TENAA baring all its specs.

TENAA says the device’s model number is NX616J which is similar to that of the Nubia Z18 (NX606J). The primary display is a 6.26-inch LCD display with a 1080 x 2280 resolution while the smaller display on the back is a 5.1-inch 720 x 1520 OLED display.

The Nubia Z18S is powered by an octa-core processor clocked at 2.649GHz which we are sure is the Snapdragon 845. It will come in 6GB RAM and 8GB RAM variants with 64GB and 128GB of non-expandable storage.

As shown in the live photos, the phone only has two cameras and they are above the smaller display. TENAA says the cameras are a combination of a 24MP sensor and a 16MP sensor. It also confirms the phone has a fingerprint scanner though we still have no idea where it is (probably side-mounted). This is the same camera configuration as the Nubia Z18, so performance should be the same.

The Nubia Z18S will pack a 3,800mAh battery with support for fast charging and run Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box. Its dimensions are given as 154.1 x 73.30 x 8.65 mm and weight is 178g. When it launches, it will be available in Gold and Black. Unfortunately, TENAA hasn’t provided any images of the device.

The Nubia Z18S should launch soon since it has gotten its TENAA approval. If you are wondering if this will be available outside China, there is a chance it will. Last year’s Nubia Z17S is currently sold as the Archos Diamond Omega in Europe.

The post Nubia Z18s Dual-Screen phone appears on TENAA, packs Snapdragon 845 and up to 8GB of RAM appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Nubia Z18 is yet to launch but there is a chance it won’t be announced alone. A new report says the dual-screen phone we saw earlier today may launch alongside it as the Nubia Z18S. An official poster showing the device and confirming the name has also surfaced.

A Nubia Z18S isn’t surprising since Nubia did launch a Z17S last year, but that was in the fourth quarter and four months after the launch of the Z17. So it is surprising that it wants to launch both the Z18 and Z18S together.

Unlike the Z18 which has a notch similar to that of the Essential PH-1, the Z18S doesn’t have a notch at all. Its screen takes up nearly the whole front of the phone with just a little sliver of bezel at the bottom and top.

The Z18S not only has a notch-less display, it also has a second screen at the back of the device just below the dual rear cameras. This second screen isn’t an e-ink display like that of the Yotaphone series or the Hisense A2. It is actually a smaller LCD display that appears to be over 5 inches in size.

The second display will serve as a viewfinder for taking selfies instead of the larger display in front. So basically, the rear sensors are the only cameras on the device, and depending on the screen in use, you are either taking a selfie or a normal photo.

This is sort of a weird way to achieve a fully bezel-less smartphone and it raises some questions such as battery life and cost. Dual-screen phones have not seen much success and it doesn’t look as if they will be popular. Nevertheless, we look forward to seeing the Z18s.

The source says the Z18S will have the same key specs as the Z18 which is a Snapdragon 845 processor, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. It will also have its fingerprint scanner on the side.

The Snapdragon 845 mobile platform was officially unveiled by Qualcomm earlier in this month. It is the second-generation 10nm chipset that has arrived as a successor for Snapdragon 835. It is expected to several flagship phones in 2018. A leaked image showing the list of rumored phones that will be powered by Snapdragon 845 has appeared on Weibo. The leak also reveals the expected announcement timelines for those phones.

The above image shows that Samsung will be debuting the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ in February. Even though the rumor mill has not revealed much information on the upcoming LG G7, the leaked photo states that the LG G7 and G7+ will be released in the same month. This shows that the LG G-series phone for 2018 won’t be coming with a non-flagship chipset.

In April, Xiaomi Mi 7 is speculated to debut as China’s first Snapdragon 845 powered smartphone. Just as the HTC U11 had debuted in May this year, its successor – the HTC U12 is speculated to debut in the same month in 2018.

In June, the OnePlus 6, ZTE Nubia Z18 and Sony Xperia XZ Pro-A smartphones are expected to arrive in the market. It appears that the Sony’s flagship may get unveiled at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018 in February, but it will be hitting the market later in June. The Nokia 10 flagship is likely to get announced in August.

The list does not contain any information for the successor phones for Essential Phone and Razer Phone. Apart from the Motorola flagship that is speculated to arrive late and the HTC’s second flagship that is rumored to launch a bit early, most of the phones mentioned in the leak are arriving at the same time as their predecessors did this year However, we advise our readers to digest the report with a pinch of salt.
