ZTE NUBIA Z9 MAX antutu, design, GPS, Camera, Battery REVIEW FROM 1949DEAL

ZTE has announced two new devices a couple of days ago, the Nubia Z9 Mini and Nubia Z9 Max. This Chinese smartphone manufacturer was expected to launch three devices as part of their Nubia Z9 line, but the Nubia Z9 wasn’t announced at the event in China. We were all wondering when / if will ZTE announce the third, and arguably most interesting device here. Well, some new information surfaced in China and cleared things up, to an extent anyways. The company’s General Manager said that ZTE does plan to release the Nubia Z9, though he did not reveal when will that happen though. The Nubia Z9 has leaked many times thus far, though we’ve seen a ton of designs and quite frankly are not sure which one is legit. This handset will quite probably have really slim side bezels, or won’t sport them at all. Much like the Z9 Max, this handset will be the company’s flagship as well. We still don’t which specs will it sport, but its specifications will quite probably be similar to Nubia Z9 Max’s. See hands on review on 1949deal now.

Nubia Z9 Max vs Nubia Z9 Mini hands on reviews:

Nubia Z9 Max Hands on reviews:

Well, today, we catch a glimpse of the new ZTE smartphones’ prowess, as somebody was kind enough to run an AnTuTu benchmark test on both of them and post the scores up for the Internet to see. And the Nubia Z9 Max did not disappoint, coming up with an impressive score of 56,892 – pretty much the same result as the HTC One M9, which is equipped with the very same SoC. The Z9 mini, on the other hand, is not as potent, as it scored 28,501 – a bit below what we are used to seeing from SD615-equipped handsets.

Now, benchmarks (and especially – just one benchmark) are in no way the end-all be-all of a smartphone’s general functionality, however, these scores show that it’d be reasonable to expect a stable and powerful performance from the Z9 Max, whereas we’d be a bit cautious towards the Z9 mini, at least until further tests and reviews surface.

Both handsets pack a 16MP shooter with support for 4K video recording. The 8MP front-facing camera is all set and ready to go for the ultimate selfies. Android Lollipop 5.0.2 comes pre-installed. The looks of both devices are pleasing with a metal frame wrapping around the sides. If you’re into replacing back panels, you’ll want to go with the mini as the Nubia Z9 Max comes with an all-glass rear.
