ZTE has announced a pair of two new phones, titled the Nubia Z5s and the Nubia Z5s Mini. The Z5s is the more high-end of the two, sporting a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 CPU under a 1080p display, complete with 2 GB of RAM, a 13 megapixel camera with OIS and an f/2.0 aperture, and Android 2.2 out of the box. It’s a far cry from a budget smartphone which traditionally comes from ZTE. You’ll have two options as far as internal storage and network connectivity; a 16 GB 3G model or a 32 GB LTE model. Naturally, the LTE model raises the price a bit, but it’s still only priced around $567. ZTE managed to pack in some beefy specs at that price point, so it should definitely give other manufacturers solid competition in the international market.
The Z5s Mini fortunately isn’t a completely gimped model of the Z5s like we’ve seen Samsung and HTC do. It’s not as powerful as its bigger counterpart, but it could still qualify as a high end device. You’ll get a 1.7 GHz Snapdragon CPU (probably a 600 or 400) with 2 GB of RAM, a similar 13 megapixel rear shooter, and Android 4.2. It’s also going to be available as a 16 GB 3G model or 32 GB LTE model, with each running $246 and $348 respectively. Obviously these aren’t going to compete with the S 4s and HTC Ones of the market, but for those of you that prefer smaller phones, this is one of the more compelling options we’ve seen.
As of right now, there’s no word on an American release for either of these new devices, but if ZTE manages to have some success with them in other markets, we might end up seeing some more devices from the company make their way to the States in the future.
