ZTE Nubia Z9 to hit the U.S. later this year

Remember the Nubia Z9? It’s ZTE’s bezel-less phone that created quite a stir a few months back. Now the Nubia Z9 is set to hit the United States in the the third quarter.

The ZTE Nubia Z9 – which by the way is mentioned only as a ‘Nubia’ phone in the press release and not a ZTE device – will come in three variants. The cheapest of the lot, the Classic version, will cost you $564 and it will come with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB ROM while the Elite model with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB on board storage will set you back by $645. Its Exclusive model will cost around $725 and will feature a fingerprint sensor in addition to all the other common specification.

Speaking of specs, the Nubia Z9 features a 5.2-inch Full HD (1080p) display, Snapdragon 810 processor, a pair of 16-megapixel primary and 8-megapixel secondary snappers with Sony sensors. Running Android 5.1 Lollipop out-of-the-box, the handset packs a 2,900 mAh battery.

Its selling point is clearly going to be its bezel-less design that supports a number of grip and gesture based controls.

“Users can quickly launch the camera feature by simply turning the phone sideways and placing four fingertips on the edge of the screen or take a one-handed selfie by squeezing the handset without touching any buttons,” the press release read.
