New Nubia is launched specs are amazing!!

The Nubia Z17 is one of the first smartphones to bring 8GB of RAM along with Snapdragon 835 and a 23MP + 12MP dual-lens camera.

The back is where it gets more interesting: not only does it offer a significantly more refined design thanks to its single-slit antenna design, but the rear-facing camera now consists of two lenses. The 23MP + 12MP combination offers 2x optical zoom and DSLR-esque depth-of-field effects (à la Portrait Mode). Low-light shots should also see some improvements, given the camera’s improved f/1.8 aperture and larger 1.4um pixel size.

Perhaps what’s more important is what’s powering the Nubia Z17. The device is one of the first Android smartphones to bring Snapdragon 835 with a whopping 8GB of RAM. Combine that with a less power-hungry 1080p screen and a sufficiently large 3,200 mAh battery, you are bound to get all the speed you need without having to carry around a charger everywhere.

Unfortunately, the Nubia Z17 comes with its own imperfections: what we have come to cherish the most (rather comically) – yes, the conventional 3.5mm headphone jack – is no longer there, and nor does it support microSD expansion. So if you’re looking to pick one up, you’d better get the 128GB variant and a pair of Bluetooth headphones with it.

The 6GB + 64GB variant will be available for 2799 Yuan or around $410. The 6GB + 128GB will retail for 3399 Yuan or around $500. And the maxed-out version – 8GB + 128GB – will set you back 3999 Yuan, approximately $590. All variants will go on sale starting June 6 although there is no word on whether/when it’ll launch outside China.
