ZTE Nubia Z11 Mini S arrives with 23MP Camera, Snapdragon 625

After rumors and leaks over the course of the last couple of weeks, the ZTE Nubia Z11 Mini S (quite the mouthful) is now official. It's made of aircraft-grade aluminium to keep the weight in check - 158 grams and thin at just 7.60mm. It is a dual-SIM 4G VoLTE smartphone with a hybrid slot which uses the second nano-SIM slot to expand storage.

Under the hood you have the Snapdragon 625 and Adreno 506 GPU powering the smartphone with a 5.2-inch 1080p display which covers 85% of the NTSC color gamut with 2.5D curved Gorilla Glass protection. You have a 23MP rear camera here with Sony's IMX318 sensor, f/2.0 aperture lens, 4K Video recording and Phase Detection Autofocus. For selfies there is a 13MP front camera with Sony IMX258 sensor and 80-degree wide angle lens.

Alongwith the camera and flash on the back you will also find the round fingerprint sensor. The antenna lines have been pushed to the periphery similar to the iPhone 7 and have been made to match the color of the phone for a cleaner appearance.
