Zte nubia z17 mini review: design
The appearance of the smartphone is presented with golden edging and original black color. It can also be ordered in red, blue and gold. Display size - 5.2 inches with Full HD resolution. On the front there is glass with the use of 2.5D technology, that is, it has curved edges. The glass does not have an oleophobic coating, which is undoubtedly a disadvantage of this smartphone, since the finger does not always slide well. The same was the case with the previous model. At the bottom of the smartphone are three touch-sensitive buttons. Above is the camera and speaker. The sound from the external speaker is good, loud, but no bass. The sound in the headphones is a little embellished with the DTS sound effect. The camera has two Sony IMX 258 modules: black and white and color. Front camera 16 megapixels from Samsung. With the main camera in good lighting, you can take pretty good pictures. There is also an interesting HDR photo processing mode.
On the top edge there is a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a microphone for hands-free calling. On the lower edge there is a charging connector, holes for a spoken microphone and perforation for the main speaker. On the right is the on / off button and the volume rocker. On the left is a tray for a sim card. The sim card connector is hybrid, you can install two nano-sim cards, or a nano-sim and micro SD card. In comparison with the previous model, the screen is brighter, more beautiful and juicy, but noticeably loses, for example, Xiaomi Mi 5s in brightness.
Games, performance and autonomy
As for games and performance, the Nubia z17 mini is good in this regard, because it is equipped with the Snapdragon 652 platform and the Adreno 510 video accelerator. Despite the battery of only 2950 mA, the autonomy of the device is quite good. The settings regarding autonomy are quite flexible. You can enable different modes and limit energy consumption programs, there are also statistics on tracking energy consumption.
Watching an online video for half an hour takes only about 7% of the charge. Of the minuses, it is worth noting the lack of fast charging. In half an hour, the smartphone is charged by only 13%. Zte nubia z17 mini processor is fast. During operation, the smartphone does not heat up and has an internal memory of 64 GB by default. The proprietary firmware is quite interesting. There are tons of features. Such a parameter as multi-window allows you to simultaneously watch videos and flip through social networks, which can also be very useful when working.
Zte nubia z17 mini can be called an ambiguous model, since it is impossible to say with certainty that it surpasses the previous model zte nubia z11 mini on all fronts. As for the price, this smartphone is always slightly higher than Xiaomi or Meizu.
