ZTE Nubia Z18s shows up with Snapdragon 845 and Dual Display

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.

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.
