![]() The images taken in daylight were very sharp and had great details. You get a lot of custom settings option such as adjustable aperture, adjustable shutter speed and even the things like independent metering, and white balance. The auto-focus speed is very good and it is a delight for camera freaks. It’s a stunner and at par with most flagship devices. The device packs a 16-megapixel rear camera (Sony IMX234 Exmor RS sensor) with f/2.0 aperture. Overall, we found the device to be an average performer and ZTE could have done better in this department. You can free up the app memory with a single tap, just like Xiaomi’s MIUI. ![]() You can find these features in Settings > System > Feature > Touch gestures.Īlso, there are few other gimmicky features like flip to mute/ pause, Shake the device to change songs and more. The two nifty features that we would recommend it to you is double tap screen wake-up and palm screen lock. Like them, this also has lots of customisation options. The UI is quite fast, smooth and responsive, and has similarities with Xiaomi’s MIUI and Huawei’s Emotion UI. On software front, the Z9 mini runs Android 5.0 Lollipop with company’s own Nubia UI 2.8 out-of-the-box. Loudspeaker output is average, so there is nothing to brag about. ![]() Games like Subway Surfer, Temple Run ran smoothly without warming the phone by great amount.Ĭoming to audio/ video playback, the smartphone excels in both department. Even further, on heavy usage like gaming and continuous video playback, the Z9 mini gets heated-up from the center-left of the back by fair amount. Also, the phone gets a little warm while multitasking. ![]() We didn’t encounter this problem very frequently, but a few times was expected from it. The phone’s performance is quite snappy, but then it would occasionally crash apps or reboot as well. The Z9 mini is powered by a 64-bit octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 (quad-core Cortex-A53 1.5GHz + quad-core Cortex-A53 1GHz) processor coupled with 2GB of LPDDR3 RAM. Second feature that is useful here is one-handed operation, so you can simply shake the device to use it and can even lock it to either side. Unexpectedly, the feature worked pretty well. Split screen essentially divides your display in two parts, so you can do two things simultaneously. Other than that, what Nubia UI 2.8 brings to display is two features that will come handy for you – split screen, and one-handed operation. But over a small period of using the device we found some hairline scratches on the display, so we will advise you to rather get a screen protector. Apart from this, the display has a Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection. Unfortunately, auto-brightness doesn’t perform well too. Because of this, it is difficult to see the display in good sunlight condition outdoors, even with the full brightness. The panel is little reflective and the brightness levels are on a lower side too. To compensate this, company has put in few software tweaks for managing colour Saturation (Glow, Standard and Soft) and Hue (Cool tone, Natural, and Warm tone). Upfront, the Nubia Z9 mini packs a sharp and impressive 5-inch full-HD (1080×1920 pixels) OGS display with pixel density of 441ppi, though the colours look a bit over saturated. The speaker grill, primary mic and Micro-USB charging/ data port is located at the bottom edge. The 3.5mm headphones jack and the secondary noise cancellation mic sit at the top edge. The left edge only features dual Nano-SIM tray. Right side of the smartphone includes volume rocker key and power/ lock key. The three capacitive touch buttons sits below the display. The thickness of the device is 8.1mm and weighs 145 grams. The Z9 mini fits well in hands and gives a strong grip with its little curved metal sides. It has been made of soft flexible plastic and is removable too. While the front of Z9 mini features a beautiful 5-inch full-HD OGS display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection, the back also flaunts glass finish, but it isn’t glass. The design language seems heavily inspired from Sony’s Xperia Z series of smartphones. The Nubia Z9 mini is a premium looking device that uses aircraft grade aluminum alloy frame. Checkout what we found about Z9 mini in our detailed review? We really liked the device at first glance, but were disappointed with the price.
