Sick of your phone screen actually having edges? The latest high end Android phone out of China looks amazing.
The flagship devicewas unveiled yesterday at a fashion show in New York. The screen still technically has a very thin edge, so how good the nubia Z9 really is in person remains to be seen. But you know what, I want one. A lot.
The Samsung S6 Edge started the trend, and here at Gizmodo we loved it. After using Dell’s new infinity display it’s hard to go back to a normal screen.
The nubia Z9 uses a 5.2 inch 10920 x 1080 screen that runs right to the edges of the phone. It also uses the Snapdragon 810 chipset, has a 16MP camera with OIS, a 2900 mAh battery and runs Android 5.0 Lollipop.
It can also use the edge of the phone and screen to control a range of different things, such as snapping a picture, swiping through images or playing a game.
The phone comes in three versions — Classic, with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, for $735 (US $564). The Elite has 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage and costs $840 (US$645). The Exclusive has the same specs but adds a fingerprint reader and costs $945 (US $725).
It won’t be available till later in the year (and no Australian release date is given). Until then, check it out in action below.
