ZTE has finally unveiled the much anticipated nubia Z18 flagship phone in China.
The nubia Z18 sports a near-bezelless front with a claimed 91.8% screen to body ratio, the only tiny cutout notch on the front houses the selfie camera. The display itself is a 5.99-inch 1080x2160px IPS LCD with very small top and bottom and nearly nonexistent side bezels.

The nubia Z18 is powered by a Snapdragon 845 chipset that’s paired with either 6GB or 8GB of RAM and optional 64GB and 128GB of non-expandable storage.
There’s a 3,450mAh battery with support for Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 4.0 and something called Neo Power temperature control.
As far camera is concerned, the selfie camera is an 8MP f/2.0 unit, which can do portrait selfie shots. The shooters on the rear go as follows: 16MP f/1.6 and 24MP f/1.6. They offer Portrait mode, advanced scene recognition and 960fps slow motion video recording.
The ZTE nubia Z18 can be pre-ordered now in China with the base 6GB/64GB model priced at CNY 2,799 (€350) and the 8GB/128GB going for CNY 3,299 (€415). The device will be available in either Black or Red but there’s a special van Gogh edition that will set you back CNY 3,599(€450). We do hope the nubia Z18 makes it out of China this time around.
