In this internet age, domain name is the face of the company. Its the name which consumers will use to check out the company products, announcements and other updates directly. As a result, companies are willing to shell out a lot of money for the right domain name.

The latest company to shell out a lot of money buying the right domain name is Nubia. I am sure almost all of you know that Nubia is ZTE’s suibsidiary, focusing on the smartphone industry. We have seen some great smartphones from this brand till now, including the bezelless Z9. But it looks like the company is now taking a step further, by purchasing the domain name, Nubia.com. The company reportedly purchased the domain name for $2 million USD which comes to around 13 million Chinese Yuan.

Now why would the company shell out so much money for purchasing another domain name? It already has two main domain names, namely nubia.cn and nubia.com.cn. So, if the company is paying so much to get the nubia.com domain name, it could only mean that the company is preparing to launch its products globally. Its products are mainly sold in the domestic market, with limited models available internationally. But that may change in 2016, which could be why Nubia decide to purchase the .com domain name.

The brand has a lot of interesting smartphones in its lineup, including the Z9, and the X6. There’s even rumors about the next generation Z11 that will hit the markets next year. So, these products could be launched outside of its home country in the coming months.

This is not the first time we are hearing a Chinese smartphone company has paid a lot of money to get the right domain name. Back in 2014, Xiaomi paid $3.6 million to get the compact “mi.com” domain name.

At the time of publishing this article, I couldn’t connect to the nubia.com website. But the above pictures seem to be what the site looked like before.

ZTE is one of those major Chinese manufacturers, which is widely known for its devices not only in China, but also internationally. What is more, their Nubia sub-brand is known for offering high quality for a price, which is lower than competitors like Apple or Samsung. In the past few years Nubia managed to prove that with the Z5 mini and Z7 mini smartphones, which received positive reviews. This time around, we have a just announced ZTE Nubia Z9 mini.

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.

After the release of the ZTE Nubia Z9 mini, many people were asking where is Nubia z9, the real flagship. Ni Fei, general manager of Nubia smartphones gives the answer.

Ni Fei posted on his weibo, “After the March 26 press conference, Z9 Max and mini have been a lot of attention, but there are a lot of fans and the media asked me where Z9 go in the end is not without borders?? Today I want to reply to Members: Nubia Z9 with no borders is on its way . ”

Seeing this, the ZTE Nubia Z9 is expected to officially be released in April. The phone would naturally feature higher specs than the Max and the Mini and is also said to be priced above these two models.

But will the Nubia Z9 be truly bezelless? Well, we just have to wait and watch!

The post Finally! Nubia Z9 is coming soon – Without borders appeared first on Gizmochina.

We’ve seen quite a lot of rumors that Nubia will release the next flagship, the Nubia Z9 with extremely thin bezels. We’ve heard the bezeless design on Nubia Z7, but it turned out to be fake. But today we got these 2 leaked images from a leaker, which shows the same launch UI as the Nubia Z7 and the same home button, but with almost “bezelless” design .

The picture shows a completely bezel-free phone design (at least if you ignore the extremely thin white frame around the screen). The phone appears to be white with the round red home button we already know from previous ZTE Nubia phones. Touch buttons appear not to be visible except you touch em.

And from the back cover, it can be confirmed it is a Nubia phone. The leaker said this phone is still a propertype and have technique problems that can’t move to mass production. So will this be the final design? Or just some new ways of marketing of Nubia? Let’s find out in the future.
