ZTE Nubia Z9 Max And Z9 Mini To Get Elite Editions
Chinese smartphone manufacturer ZTE will be releasing updated versions of its Nubia Z9 Max and its Nubia Z9 Mini, called Elite editions. The Nubia Z9 Max and Z9 Mini were released in the market earlier this year. The Elite editions, according to a Tech Times report, will have the same specifications but with a few improvements. The report cited leaked flyers of the new devices, which indicate that their release is imminent.
Promotional flyers of the Nubia Z9 Max Elite and the Nubia Z9 Mini Elite were leaked by MyDrivers, a Chinese website.
Among the features that were refreshed in the Elite version of the Nubia Z9 Max is the in-demand security feature, the fingerprint sensor. The report claims that this will be located in the phone's power button on the side of the device. It will also reportedly have a USB Type-C port which facilitates faster charging. As with the non-Elite version, the device will have a Qualcomm Snapdragon (Xiaolong) 810 processor, paired with 3 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage, expandable to 128 GB via microSD. Its display remains unchanged, with a 5.5-inch screen that has a 1,920 x 1,080 pixels resolution. It has a 16 megapixel main camera and an 8 megapixel secondary or selfie camera.
