ZTE Nubia Z18s has been teased by the company and we can see the upcoming device with dual display. This is an update to the Nubia Z18 we reviewed weeks ago. This means that the Nubia Z18s comes with two screens, there’s a bezel-less one at the front and smaller one at the back. But there’s a catch to it, ZTE ditched the selfie camera to achieve this. Genius right?
Design
In a world of selfies, ZTE broke the norm by letting go of the selfie camera on the Nubia Z18s. Nonetheless, the phone is built with aluminium alloy and glass on top. The middle of the back is another screen, while the top houses the dual rear camera and dual-LED flash. It will be available in Black and Gold colors. It measures 8.65mm in thickness and weighs 178g overall.
Display
The phone is built around a totally bezel-less front of 6.26-inch FHD+ IPS LCD display. The screen boasts of 1080 x 2280 pixels in resolution along with a 403 pixel per inch density for clear visuals. The screen also got up to 86.87% screen-to-body ratio as well. There’s another screen at the back, this is a 5-inch AMOLED display with 720 x 1520 pixels in resolution and a 2.5D curved glass on top.
Software and Hardware
The upcoming smartphone runs on Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box. Under the hood, the Snapdragon 845 chipset from Qualcomm runs the show, coming with 8-cores of processor which clocks at 2.8GHz for a smooth ride.
The Adreno 630 graphics card handles graphics. For storing files, the device packs 64GB/128GB internal storage space variants which is expandable up to 256GB using a memory card. It boasts of 6GB/8GB RAM space variants as well for multitasking through apps.
Camera
At the rear, there’s a dual 16MP + 24MP rear shooter for photography and accompanied with other internal features listed in the table below. Disappointingly, there’s no selfie camera available on this device.
Battery
Powering it up is a 3800mAh battery capacity with fast charging technology to fill it up fast. With the fast charging feature, charging the battery from 0% to 100% shouldn’t take up to 2 hours.
