The ZTE Nubia Z9 mini, the "bite-sized" version of ZTE's flagship handset, is now available in India. The phone is offered as an exclusive in the region from Amazon India, priced at the equivalent of $267 USD. Amazon is planning on holding an open sale for this model, without resorting to any flash sales. This means that consumers interested in the Nubia Z9 mini don't have to pre-register for the handset, or hope to receive an invitation to purchase the unit.
The ZTE Nubia Z9 mini features a 5-inch screen with a resolution of 1080 x 1920. That works out to a pixel density of 441ppi. A 64-bit Snapdragon 615 SoC is under the hood, containing an octa-core CPU and the Adreno 405 GPU. 2GB of RAM is inside along with 16GB of native storage. Those requiring additional memory can employ the 128GB capacity microSD slot that is aboard the handset. The 16MP camera that graces the rear of the phone comes with a Sony Exmor RS sensor. The f/2.0 aperture allows you to take clear photos even under low-light conditions. The 8MP front-facing camera gives users the capability to take 80 degree wide angle selfies. A 3000mAh battery keeps the lights on, and there is 4G LTE connectivity. Android 5.0 is pre-installed with ZTE's Nubia UI 2.8 running on top.
If this is the phone you want, keep in mind that it may not offer you the best smartphone experience that ZTE has to offer. The ZTE Nubia Z9 mini scored 28,501 on the AnTuTu benchmark test, a bit more than half of what the more highly spec'd ZTE Nubia Z9 Max was able to tally.
