We all know about the new Nubia Z5 smartphone from ZTE, this is the new high-end smartphone which ever launch couple months ago, but there is another news come from foreign media that ZTE is preparing the Nubia Z7.

ZTE Nubia Z7 is the newer smartphone which packs with 6.3 inch screen size and if this true, this Nubia Z7 will beat the Huawei Ascend Mate in the screen size that was released today with 6.1 inch screen size.

According the rumor, the Nubia Z7 screen resolution will has 2560×1440 pixels (though not heard Which produce screen).

Before now we have see the Meizu MX2 and Oppo Ulike2 while CoolPad HD9960 as a thinner smartphone and after ZTE Nubia Z5 available in the market, which is thinner?

With a particular measurement method we can see the difference in the thickness of the epidermis cell phone on the market today, despite sometimes having up to 0.1mm error ratio and therefore need to be repeated measurements so that the results are completely accurate. All measurements were using the Pythagorean theorem.

The calculation method: If the phone width and the length of the screen diagonal is known, can be calculated according to the Pythagorean theorem with screen resolution ratio between the width of the screen, and then calculate the border thickness.

Hands calculation is too much trouble, so small machine with Excel to calculate:

Step 1: first create the following table, all the filling into the official parameters (beige part):

Step 2: inch converted into mm, the 1-inch = 25.4mm:

Step 3: Then the resolution converted into proportion, we need to use the Excel function GCD, the role of the function is to take the greatest common divisor:

Step 4: draw the greatest common divisor of the resolution, we can convert it into a similar 16:9 so that a proportional relationship:

Step 5: Then the screen width of a cell enter the formula before we calculate the width of the screen:

Step 6: border thickness = (phone width – screen thickness) / 2

Step 7: Similarly other phone border thickness is calculated can drag Excel formula copy function.

Thus we see that: If the official data on the fly, the thinnest border smartphone is still Meizu MX2. But more than four phone border thickness are very close to the gap between even the decimal 3, the nuances, the average person can not tell the difference. The small machine would think that border more than anyone else to their thinnest this gimmick, is better than who system optimization and better user experience, it is the user really needs.

Let’s take a look at the appearance. According to official said the Nubia Z5 design made by Italian designer Stefano Giovanni Noni. He believes that “emotions and memories of the life of the product,” good design is a poem about life and bring people into deep thinking situations. “Mobile phone is not just a communications products, is a work of art , an emotion and personality of the design work, able to express an attitude toward life.

Box with white design looks very simple.

The the nubia Z5 will launch the two-color version of the black and white.

The sound quality is more difficult to compare with anything, but the thickness of the contrast is not the right Vivo X1 is the world’s thinnest smartphone. Nubia Z5 next to it does not seem very thick.

5 inch 1080P screen
nubia Z5 is a 5 inch sharp screen size of CGS technologies 1080P, 443PPI, almost same with HTC Butterfly. High resolution, so the degree of detail is very good.

From the above comparison, 4S and the the nubia Z5 screen are biased in favor of warm colors, Samsung’s AMOLED HD or so of ice, but after all, is also personal habits. However the the nubia Z5 screen touch layer on some of the more obvious dot matrix, just like the original the Xiaomi generation appear.

Nubia Z5 is running Android 4.1.1 operating system and has been the custom user interface. Can handle the multitasking, a very user frinedly function. The drop-down menu also has the advantage of Android 4.1, capable of operating some more applicarions.

Another the nubia Z5 support MHL output via MHL can achieve the level of high-definition television end 1080P video playback. Except MHL output, nubia Z5 to support Wifi display and support Dolby 5.1 audio coaxial output.

Hardware
The hardware aspects nubia Z5 quasi flagship configured Snap Dragon clocked at 1.5GHz APQ8064 quad-core processor is also the leader of the quad-core processor inside. 2GB RAM support for multitasking to ensure smooth running, 32GB ROM also completely does not feel cramped.

The author site experience, the machine is very smooth (Of course, for a quad-core phone, the system smooth minimum requirements), ran sub speaking sake of engineering machine does not have much representation here not to publish the test results. We will wait for this phone more hardware performance testing.

Most of the domestic mobile phone in has low price range betwen less than 2000 yuan while the Nubia Z5 pricing given to the “high price” of about 3500 yuan but they very confident since its own the good performance, further validation of its ambitions to do domestic brand.

Android phones getting smaller and smaller differences, not only in hardware, but also the software. Not enough to be able to attract users of the highlights, as well as their own unique advantages, will easily be forgotten, after all while there are so many many brands out there. But ZTE nubia Z5is the nice and good phones whic came from domestic market.
