Nubia recently released a new teaser for its Nubia Z17 flagship that's scheduled to be unveiled this week. The teaser claims that it's the upcoming Android-powered device will feature a bezel-less design.
The Shenzhen, a China-based consumer electronics manufacturer went to Weibo to share a new promotional poster for the Nubia Z17 launch event. It reveals that the handset's primary camera setup will support 2x optical zoom while implying that the phone will boast impressive imaging capabilities.
According to Phone Arena, the latest official teaser for the Nubia Z17 indicates that the device will be almost bezel-less; as the Chinese original equipment manufacturer (OEM) is likely only referring to its side bezels. While previous leaks of the handset suggested that it will either sport no side bezels or even ship with a curved screen. Yet, another leak from an industry insider renders a nearly bezel-less Nubia smartphone that's more similar to the one outlined in the teaser for the upcoming Nubia Z17.
The Nubia Z17 was expected to ship with a circular capacitive Home Button, which is essentially the hallmark of the company's handsets and a rear plate was also said to feature a fingerprint scanner. The device was speculated to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC and 4GB of RAM at minimum, though recent rumors indicated to feature as much as 8GB of RAM; in addition with the 32GB internal storage, expandable using microSD card slot.
According to older benchmark listings followed by Gizbot, the Nubia Z17 will run on Android 7.1.1 Nougat out of the box which is likely enhanced with the company's proprietary mobile software suite. The device was also suggested to feature UFS 2.1 storage which is currently the fastest commercialized mobile storage format.
As for Nubia Z17's camera specs, the dual camera setup on the phone may consist of two 23MP sensors arranged in a vertical manner while the top bezel of the handset could house a 16MP lens. More confirmed details will be given by the Chinese OEM Company as they will unveil the Nubia Z17 on June 1, 2017.
