ZTE Nubia Z17 review: Driven by ambition

13 July 2017
Getting a new Nubia device is always a different experience for us. It’s never been an overwhelmingly delightful or agonizingly poor first encounter, but always a pretty daunting one to wrap your head around. Bold and distinct design, high-end hardware at a bargain price, original screen gestures - these have always been a prominent part of the package ever since the Nubia Z9.

So it's definitely better in average than hyperhyped op5. And cheaper. But why in possible alternatives there is no honor 9?

    I hate this trend of feature-cutting. Hopefully the next Axon will keep all the good features and look good too.

      No thanks.

        I like the design different most other phone

          Meh can they remove that red accent. It looks ugly if it is combined with other colours other than black

            A Nonny Mouse, 13 Jul 2017Hilarious that they advertise a phone called "nubia" not ju... moreTrue! I think they wanted to put the focus on the colour of the Nubia phone which is "nubia" (gold)!

                Im surely not a fan of ZTE's designlanguage. That ugly circle on the front which has no fingerprint reader, the backside which is neither Iphone 7 or honor 9, while it's quite alike, bezelless sides but huge bezels on top and bottom....neh.
