A few days ago, we were talking about the offer of tablets from the Chinese firm ZTE. Through the only two models that the Shenzhen company currently markets, we found that one of the telecommunications giants in the world lagged somewhat behind in terms of the production and launch of larger platforms. However, we also observed how their leaders have a more determined bet in the field of phablets and smartphones in general, where we found about 13 models available and to which more would be added in a few weeks with the aim of increasing the share of market of a company that in recent years has established itself among the 15 largest firms in the consumer electronics sector.
However, as happens to all manufacturers, regardless of their place of origin and the markets in which they operate, the idea is to occupy the top positions of the ranking. For this, those of ZTE will soon introduce another large phablet, the Universal Z11, of which below we will tell you the characteristics that have already been made known and through which we will try to see the roadmap that the brand will follow at least in 2016.
Design and display
We start by talking about the visual aspect. Following the line that other manufacturers have already undertaken when it comes to narrowing down the contours of their devices as much as possible, eliminating the empty space between frames and screen, the Z11 also suppress side edges and offers a relationship between both components in which the panel occupies 83% of the entire front housing. On the other hand, this element will have a size of 6 inches which will place the terminal as one of the largest that we will see at least in the second half of the year.
Processor and memory
Qualcomm remains the choice of ZTE's when it comes to equipping their future models with the most competitive and fast chips possible. In this he believes that he will have a Snapdragon 652 with an average frequency of 1,6 GHz approximately. This characteristic is typical of mid-range phablets and can give clues about the range in which this device could be placed. The creators of this chip affirm that it is capable of supporting resolutions of up to 4K and cameras with a maximum of 21 Mpx without generating overheating and also achieving a saving of resources and battery of approximately 30% compared to its predecessors. In terms of memory, it is assumed that you will have a 4 GB RAM with a capacity of 64GB storage expandable by Micro SD cards.
Operating System
Although little by little we are seeing some firms incorporate Android Marshmallow factory in their models, in the case of the new member of the ZTE family we will see the version 5.1. On the other hand, other aspects have also been released such as, for example, that it will incorporate Dual SIM and that, like the Zmax Pro, of which a few days ago, it has a fingerprint reader.
Data that we do not know
Although the official presentation of the Nubia Z11 is expected in the coming weeks, the data that have been released have come with a dropper from specialized portals. It is unknown when it will finally see the light and it is not known what its exact price. On the other hand, important benefits are also unknown, such as the resolution of the screen or also, the battery life and whether or not it will come equipped with one of the great advances that we are seeing during 2016: Fast charging technologies.
The trajectory of Nubia
Despite the fact that the parent company is ZTE, those in Shenzhen decided to further diversify their offer with the aim of obtaining a greater presence in the market, thanks to the creation of subsidiaries or second signatures. nubian It is the younger sister of this giant and also the one that bears part of the responsibility of having placed the company in tenth position in the world at the end of 2015 in the mobile telephony sector and also, which has provided it with some record economic benefits Thanks to the expansion in other markets until recently, the firm was left out, such as Russia, India, or the United States.
As you have seen, Chinese firms continue to leave their borders and establish themselves strongly in international markets thanks to devices such as the Nubia Z11 of which we still do not know all its characteristics but which aims to be one of the jewels in the crown of ZTE and at the same time, position itself as one of the most attractive phablets in the coming months. After learning more about it, do you think it could be an important rival to beat by other brands such as Xiaomi or Huawei and that they are also experiencing significant growth, or do you think that it joins the race late? You have more related information available on other models that we will see from the Asian giant in the coming months so that you can give your own opinion.
