Earlier part of Chinese multinational telecommunications company ZTE Corporation, nubia has now gone stand-alone with its first mid-budget phone, Z11 Mini, which will be exclusively available for Indian customers on Amazon at Rs 12,999 from October 21.
Originally priced at Rs 14,500, the phone features a brand-new NeoVision 5.8 DSLR-level photography system, Clone Camera and a good fingerprint sensor which can be used as a camera shutter button or for taking screenshots.
It packs a 16 MP primary (rear) camera with Sony IMX298 sensor and an F2 aperture.
With LED flash, phase-detection, autofocus and 3D noise reduction, the premium-look, comfortable handset sports an 8MP front camera for selfie lovers.
"We are excited to announce the launch of Z11 mini for the Indian users. Being the largest home to smartphone users, India is a critical market for us and we intend to bring cutting edge products to consumers here, who seek power packed design sensibilities of a high-end smartphone," said Ni Fi, Senior Vice President and Co-founder of nubia, in a statement.
The device supports latest connectivity features like dual sim, 4G, connectivity, Wi-Fi with hotspot, Bluetooth, GPS and USB, microSD slot for storage expansion (up to 200GB), Android 5.1 and a built-in 2800 mAh battery.
nubia is riding on core patented technologies such as separate light metering, separate focus and independent white balance.
The company is the first to integrate smartphone photo shooting functions, including electronic aperture, slow shutter and live bulb exposure, and claims fool-proof camera operations like "one-click star trail shooting" and light painting.
nubia's patented Frame Interactive Technology (FiT) or nubia FiT redefines user interaction and allows them to re-imagine the way they control mobile devices, bringing endless interactive freedom.
The phone also has Light and Proximity sensor, Accelerometer, Compass, Fingerprint ID and Gyroscope.
