For us European users, the arrival of the ZTE Axon Elite with its starting price of 420 euros corresponds to one of the highest-end representations of ZTE in the mobile phone market. But, in the home market of the Asian company ZTE, things are different. ZTE is working on a new flagship that will respond to the name of ZTE Nubia X8, and this time on the network leaked photographs have appeared revealing features that we did not know about this mobile until now. A USB Type-C charging port, a metal casing and touch buttons on the sides are the most striking details of theNubia X8.
As we can read on GizmoChina.com, the ZTE Nubia X8 has been completely exposed in a new series of leaked photographs. In addition to the USB Type-C port, which is supposed to offer faster charging and higher data transfer speeds, it can be seen that the Nubia X8 will be built on an all-metal casing. The most striking detail of this case resides in the physical power and volume buttons, which appear to be of the touch surface type, which means that they do not incorporate any physical mechanism. In addition, it is rumored that the power button could house a fingerprint reader inside.
Regarding the front of the Nubia X8, ZTE has incorporated under the screen the characteristic red circular button that has begun to identify the mobiles of the Nubia range. The Backspace and Menu keys will be integrated on the sides of this button, and since it is not appreciated that they have a defined design, it could be possible that they are customizable (that is, it is the user who decides which side they want have every option).
The technical specifications for this new flagship ZTE have not staged as detailed leaks, and unique features mentioned at this time pass through a screen of 5.5 or 5.7 inches with resolution Quad HD of 2560 x 1440 pixels, 4 GigaBytes of RAM and a battery with a capacity that could be set at a figure that, of course, would not go unnoticed in the market: 5,120 mAh.
If all this information is true, ZTE has in its hands a flagship that could open an important gap in the catalog of Chinese smartphones that can still sweep in 2015. For now, the Asian company has confirmed that it will hold a presentation in the next few hours, on October 15, in which it is assumed that the protagonist will be the Nubia X8.
