We are just two days away from the official unveiling of the bezelless ZTE Nubia Z9, but that doesn’t seem to stop the numerous leaks that have been coming up online. Today, we have come across another set of the Nubia flagship which confirm the bezelless looks of the device.

The pictures reveals a true borderless design, with no visible bezels. In fact, the device in the picture looks exactly like the one leaked a few days back. It looks like the company is using a 2.5D glass raised design to create this beautiful effect. As a result, the glass lies on top of the overall body, with the side bezels just below it. This design is pretty smart, as the side bezels will help the user to hold the device, yet at the same time, you get a true bezelless feel.

Moreover, Ni Fei, GM of Nubia Smartphone has confirmed that the Z9 will have useful bezels which can accept a lot of unique gestures to control functions such as volume, brightness etc. So, it looks like ZTE has a great smartphone in store for us on May 6. The display is expected to be around 5.2-inch which strikes the perfect balance between size and grip.

We have already seen a glimpse of the overall design via the previous leak. The phone sported a similar design as other Z series phones such as the Z9 Max and the Mini. But it will have a lot more to offer in terms of features.

Stay tuned for more information.

Ever since Ni Fei, the General Manager of ZTE’s Nubia division confirmed the existence of a bezelless ZTE Nubia Z9 flagship, we have been seeing a number of leaks about this upcoming device. Yesterday, we came across beautiful renders which gave us a glimpse of the bezelless display of the device.

Today, a person familiar with the matter has revealed a few set of sketches which claims to be of the Nubia Z9 flagship. From what we can see, the sketches does look similar to the leaked model that we saw back in January. However they further throw in some light about the phone’s materials, button and the overall design.

The sketch shows that Z9 could feature a physical home button. Interestingly, the model which was leaked earlier had capacitive buttons. Traditionally, in this age of advanced smartphones, companies often put in a physical home button on their flagship devices to incorporate a fingerprint sensor. For example, the new HTC One M9 Plus has a fingerprint scanner on its home button. So, ZTE may incorporate a scanner inside this home button, but we can’t be sure of that at the moment.

Coming to the other details, the ZTE Nubia Z9 is said to come in a metal plus plastic body. It looks the sides and the front will be made out of plastic while the back will be metal or at least come with a metal finish. Another interesting feature revealed by these sketches is the 2.5D glass. So, it looks like the Z9 flagship will join the likes of many other premium phones by featuring 2.5D glass display. Finally, the sketches show that the phone will have dual speakers at the bottom with the MicroUSB port in the middle.

While these sketches are said to be made by a person who knows the new ZTE Nubia Z9 flagship, we can’t rely on these completely. But, it does give us an idea about what to expect from the upcoming flagship device from ZTE.

So, what do you think about the upcoming Z9?

It seems that the leaks about the upcoming ZTE Nubia Z9 won’t stop until the company officially announces it on March 26. Almost every day we are receiving images of the Z9 and today, leaksfly revealed some more alleged images of the device.

Interestingly, they are in line with what we saw a few days back. So it looks like the Mate 7 like device leaked yesterday is probably a different phone. This particular model seems to be using the dual glass + metal design as the Z9 Max. The metal frame in gold color particular looks very beautiful making the device all the more appealing.

Apart from the back, we also got to see the internals of the Z9. An image showed of the internal chassis and we can see the space for the round camera sensor too. Finally, the third image shows off the dual SIM card slots as well as MicroSD slots on the left side of the phone. Overall, it looks like the phone will turn out to be a well designed device.

The post Another set of beautiful ZTE Nubia Z9 pictures leaked appeared first on Gizmochina.

ZTE is all set to announce its premium ZTE Nubia Z series lineup at an event on March 26. Even though we are just a few days away from the official unveiling of these devices, new leaks are still coming in, revealing some interesting aspects about the device.

The latest leak from leaksfly reveals that the ZTE Nubia Z9 may have a different design than what we expected. A few days back, the same source leaked a series of pictures claiming to be of the Z9. That device had a similar design as the ZTE Nubia Z9 Max that the company showed off at MWC 2015. However, the latest pictures from leaksfly reveal a totally different design.

The edges are now smoother and the device looks like it may have taken some inspiration from Huawei’s metal Huawei Ascend Mate 7. This is actually a good thing since we all loved Mate 7’s premium design. However, the device in the pictures looks much more thinner and smaller. It is said that the phone will come with a 5-inch+ display, and the image with the iPhone 6 besides the Z9 kind of confirms this rumor. Interestingly, the same image also gives us an idea of the slimness of the device as its almost as thin as the iPhone 6. In fact, if we look closer, it may even be a tad thinner.

The back features a large sensor which is probably the rumored fingerprint sensor. On top, there is the camera unit and the LED flash besides it. At the middle lies the Nubia logo and around the bottom of the back is the speaker grill.

Coming to the front, the bezels are thin, but not as thin we saw in the previous images. The previous leak showed off an almost bezel-less display, but in this case, we can see the bezels clearly. The top portion, above the display is quite clean, however, the bottom part is thick, thanks to the physical capacitive buttons, instead of onscreen ones.

Overall, the device looks like its well built and premium. I personally like this one better than the ones leaked previously, but we are not quite sure which one is real for now.

As for the tech specs, the ZTE Nubia Z9 is expected to come with the fast Snapdragon 810 processor with 3GB RAM, 16MP rear camera and 5.5-inch full HD 1080p display.

So, which design did you like? The previous one without any bezels + glass design or this one with thin bezels but with a premium metal body?

ZTE has an official event on March 26 where it will unveil a number of devices in the Z series lineup like the ZTE Nubia Z9 and the Z9 Max. While we patiently wait for the official announcement, the device was recently spotted on the AnTuTu benchmark test which revealed most of the important specs of the device.

The ZTE Nubia Z9 with the model number NX510J will reportedly feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor with 3GB RAM. There will be a 5.2-inch display with a full HD 1080p resolution. The rear camera will be of 16MP while the front shooter of 5MP. Finally, the listing reveals that the phone will run on the latest Android 5.0.2 Lollipop update.

While the specs look high end, the older flagship model, i.e. the ZTE Nubia Z7 featured a 5.5-inch 2K display panel. So, it would make no sense for ZTE to bring down the size as well as the resolution on its successor.

Also, according to the picture leaked on Weibo by the Ubuntu team, the device which ran this test had thick bezels, which is the exact opposite of what recent leaks and rumors say about the ZTE Nubia Z9. Several images claiming to be the Z9 flagship revealed a bezel-less design. So, its very likely that this is a new model in the Z9 lineup, which could end up as the ZTE Nubia Z9 mini.

The company usually announces three different variants in the Z series and the specs is probably of the smaller Mini version.

Anyways, we will have to wait only for a few more days to get full details about the upcoming ZTE devices. So stay tuned.

ZTE showed off the ZTE Nubia Z9 Max at MWC this year. But the company has one more device in store for us in the Z series. A number of earlier leaks as well as a recent listing on JD.com confirmed the existence of ZTE Nubia Z9. We had already seen a bunch of pictures which revealed a very thin bezel display. Hhowever, today we have a set of new images which clearly show the amazing workmanship of this Chinese company.

The pictures leaked by a known leakster, Leaksfly reveals the bezel-less display of the ZTE Nubia Z9. Unlike other phones which claim to have super slim bezels, it looks like the Z9 has no bezels at all. To be honest, the display looks somewhat like the one on Sharp Aquos Crystal, which was also bezel-less. If this is indeed the final model, then surely it would be the selling point of the device.

Another picture reveals the back panel, which looks similar to the Z9 Max. So, the Z9 too could feature metal plus dual glass design.

As for the tech specs, you can expect only high end internals. So, the phone is said to feature the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor with 4GB RAM onboard. It is said that the camera will be very powerful on the device. If you look closely, the picture of the phone’s rear panel does show a larger than usual round camera unit.

ZTE will announce the ZTE Nubia Z9 and the Nubia Z9 Max at an official event on March 26. Just a day back, the company released a new teaser confirming the launch event. So, we can expect more information about both the devices at the event. In case you are wondering, both the models will most likely hit the markets by April this year.
