This year, the Asian company ZTE has decided to bet squarely on the high-end. The ZTE Nubia Z9, accompanied by its respective variants of ZTE Nubia Z9 Max and ZTE Nubia Z9 Mini, is one of the most complete alternatives that ZTE distributes in the Asian market. Now, as some rumors have already been anticipating, ZTE is about to launch a new variant of the Z9 Max and Z9 Mini on the market. The ZTE Nubia Z9 Max Elite will be the highest-end of the two new versions of the Z9 that are on the way, and a certification has revealed what the final look of the Z9 Max Elite will look like.
The TENAA , the official body of Asian origin responsible for certifying such devices in China, has revealed the design that we can expect from the new ZTE Nubia Z9 Max Elite. Finally, this certification has confirmed that the rumors that spoke of a supposed Nubia X8 were, in reality, showing the appearance of what will become the Z9 Max Elite. Metallic design, a fingerprint reader located on the right side and a USB Type-C port will be the most striking features of the new Z9 Max Elite from ZTE, which is not yet confirmed to be distributed beyond the Asian market.
Doing a quick analysis of the design of the ZTE Nubia Z9 Max Elite, the first thing that catches our attention is that the physical buttons of the Z9 Max Elite will apparently be of the tactile type and will be integrated into the case itself. This means that, instead of incorporating buttons themselves, the Z9 Max Elite will come with a volume control that will be done simply by resting your finger on the side of the mobile, without the need to press a physical key. The fingerprint reader will be located on the side of the terminal, and it also seems that it will work as a touch surface, which means that it will not be necessary to press any button to activate it.
If we get into the section of the technical specifications, see the ZTE Nubia Z9 Max Elite is called to incorporate a screen 5.5 inches with resolution Full HD (1,920 x 1,080 pixels), a processor Snapdragon 810 of eight cores operating at a clock speed of 1.8 GHz, 3 GigaBytes of RAM, 16 GigaBytes of internal memory (it is assumed that it will be expandable by means of an external memory card, although official confirmation is missing), a 16 megapixel main camera, a front camera of eight megapixels, Android 5.1.1 Lollipop and a 2,900 mAh battery. All it contained in a dimension of 154.79 x 76.69 x 8 mm, with a weight set at 165 grams.
It is a matter of days before the ZTE Nubia Z9 Max Elite is officially presented. To give us an idea of the starting price that we can expect at its launch, it is enough to remember that the ZTE Nubia Z9 landed with a price of around 500 euros, while the Elite version (4 GigaBytes of RAM and 64 GigaBytes internal memory, compared to 3 / 32 of the conventional version) cost more than 550 euros.
