Taking into account the movements of the competition, it was to be expected that the curved screen of the new ZTE Nubia Z9 would have some utility that went beyond the striking design that we have seen in the leaked photos of the Nubia Z9. This time, some images published on the Asian social network Weibo have given us some details related to the functions of the curved screen of the ZTE Nubia Z9. It turns out that this new ZTE flagship will incorporate a curved screen on the sides of the front panel that will allow access to certain functions of the mobile through gestures.
The images have been published by Ni Fei, a senior ZTE official who has already starred in previous leaks related to this mobile, and are accompanied by a description in which this manager confirms that the new ZTE Nubia Z9 will incorporate gesture recognition technology that it will respond to the name “FiT” (Fringe Interactive Technology). This technology will allow users to interact with the curved side screens of the Nubia Z9, and through different movements with the finger on these side screens it will be possible to perform actions such as navigating between open applications in the background, regulating the brightness level of the screenor control the volume level.
If we analyze these images more in depth, we will see that the gestures of the side screens of the ZTE Nubia Z9 will apparently be customizable. For example, in the gesture of sliding two fingers up on the side screens we see that the user can choose between two options: adjust the brightness or adjust the volume; The same happens with the gesture of grabbing and releasing the mobile, which seems to allow you to choose between taking screenshots of the screen and accessing the image gallery.
What is much better defined are the technical specifications expected from the ZTE Nubia Z9. This new smart phone can expect a display of 5.2 inches with resolution Quad HD with 2,560 x 1,440 pixels, a processor Snapdragon 810 from Qualcomm, 4 gigabytes of RAM, 32 gigabytes of internal memory, a main camera of 20.1 megapixels, the Android 5.0 Lollipop version of the Android operating system and a 3,000 mAh battery. All this housed in ametal casing that will be accompanied by a back covered with glass.
At the moment the real unknown of the ZTE Nubia Z9 lies in knowing if its availability will also become a reality in Europe. To do this we will have to wait until May 6, the date on which ZTE will hold an event in which it will officially unveil this new smartphone. The ZTE Nubia Z9 Max and the Z9 Mini, meanwhile, remember that they were already presented previously.
