One of the most anticipated phones in recent times has been the ZTE Nubia Z9. While the phone is expected to feature top-end specs, including the octa-core Snapdragon 810, the highlight of the phone will be its bezelless display. This could be the first true bezelless phone from a well known smartphone manufacturer and the company has already confirmed its bezelless design.

The phone will be launched officially on May 6, which is now only about 10 days away . Ni Fei, the General Manager of Nubia smartphones has revealed a new interesting feature of the device. It looks like the bezelless display on the Nubia Z9 will be put to good use, thanks to a new technology which the company is calling as FiT (Fringe Interactive technology). This particular tech will bring a lot of innovative functions to its bezelless sides, thereby improving the overall user experience.

Ni Fei released a number of interesting pictures which give us an idea what to expect from the new FiT. It looks like the display edges will accept a number of gestures and each gesture will perform a different function. From the images, we could make out quite a number of different features such as launching a new application or switching to another app from the left egde. There are also other functions such as simultaneous sliding of the left and right edges could adjust the brightness or even the device volume.

This seems to be a very handy feature for controlling various aspects of the device. We hope that ZTE allows a number of customization options for these gestures. Another important aspect which is almost confirmed by these images is the compact size. The images reveal that a user should be able to hold and operate the device with just one hand, so the rumored 5.2-inch display size seems to be right, at least for now.

Anyways, it looks like ZTE is all set to unveil an interesting device on May 6. We expect a lot more information to be revealed in the coming week, so stay tuned!

Thanks to Ni Fei, the General Manager of Nubia smartphones, we are almost sure that the upcoming ZTE Nubia Z9 will be bezelless. After his confirmation, there have been multiple leaks, all of which show off the beautiful design of the ZTE flagship.

Today, we have come across yet another leak which show off its bezelless display. This time, it is said that the images come from an advert that the company will showcase on Jiangsu TV for promoting its new product. The screenshots of the video show us once again that the phone will have no borders and the design is in line with the past few leaks that we have seen lately.

Apart from the bezelless display, we can see the trademark red ZTE Nubia home button. Nubia flagships have always had this red colored home button, which clearly give away its identity.

As for the specs, earlier leaks have said that the new ZTE Nubia Z9 will feature Snapdragon 810 octa-core 64-bit processor with 4GB RAM and a powerful 21MP camera at the back. The phone will particularly focus on the camera since, Nubia flagship smartphones have always been a good camera phone.

Anyways, we are just 15 days away from the official unveiling of the Nubia Z9, where we will get some more official details about the device.

From the leaks till now, the flagship is turning out to be a beautiful and powerful handset. Stay tuned for more information.

While we have heard rumors about bezelless phones from a number of manufacturers, ZTE is probably going to be one of the first ones to actually release a border-less device. The company has already announced that it will unveil the device on May 6, and Nubia’s GM Ni Fei has confirmed the true bezelless design.

And if you were not convinced with his words, today, we have come across another set of images which reveal the true bezelless design of the ZTE flagship. The images show that the Nubia Z9 will come with a solid metal frame and 2.5D glass which gently curves towards the sides. If you look closely, you will realize that there are hardly any bezels on the device.

On the top right corner, you can see that the time shown actually extends to the side, which confirms the bezelless design. Finally, you can see the red circle home button at the bottom, which once again confirms that this a Nubia device.

Unfortunately, the account which uploaded these pictures deleted them a few minutes later. But, the phone does look similar to the ones leaked earlier. So, it could be the real deal.

As for the specs, the device is expected to come with Snapdragon 810 processor with 3GB RAM and 16GB Storage. The phone is expected to feature a powerful 21MP camera. Expect other tech specs to be high end too.

Anyways, what do you think about the bezelless ZTE Nubia Z9?

Nubia’s General Manager had confirmed that the company had yet another device in store for us, the ZTE Nubia Z9 flagship. Despite the recent production issues with the Nubia Z9 Max, it looks like the company will release the new flagship early next month.

Today, the company revealed via its official Weibo page, that ZTE Nubia Z9 will officially launch on May 6. What’s more, after the confirmation from the General Manager, the new teaser also confirms the fact that this could be the world’s first bezelless flagship. However, you may know that we already ave many bezelless phones in the market right now like the Sharp Aquos Crystal and the Subor S3. But, the Nubia Z9 is said to incorporate a brand new screen technology which will wrap the borders under the display creating a “no border” effect.

We have already come across some leaked renders and they looked extremely good. When they claim that the phone is bezelless, it looks like they mean it as the leaked images do show us a true borderless design.

As for the tech specs, this being a flagship model, expect only the best hardware inside. The Nubia Z9 is said to feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 810 processor with 4GB RAM on board. ZTE’s Nubia flagships have always been known for their powerful cameras and the tradition will most likely continue in this phone with a rumored 21MP rear camera sensor. There’s even reports that the phone will have fingerprint sensor at the back, just below the camera unit.

Ni Fei, the GM of Nubia smartphones had said that the process of manufacturing a bezelless display was very complex which is why the launch is taking some time. However, it looks like the company may have finally overcome those issues to prepare itself for mass production. Of course, a launch does not guarantee availability, like we saw in the case of the Z9 Max. So, even though the Z9 will be announced in May, we still don’t know when interested customers can purchase the device. Also, being a new age device with high-end specs, expect the retail price to be well above 3000 Yuan.

So are you excited about the upcoming bezelless ZTE Nubia Z9 flagship?
