ZTE nubia Z17 mini: How the dual-camera setup delivers stunning photos and videos



Z17 Mini is powered by a 2950 mAh battery sealed in the body. Snapdragon 652 is not known for its a power efficiency. Z17 Mini has a 5.2 inch 1080p display and yet the mobile gives me about 2-3 hours of screen on time. On continuous video loop test, the mobile lasted for 6 hours from 90 to 20%. On my typical usage, the mobile lasted for about a day. The mobile does not support fast charging, but it gets fully charged in about 2 hours. In 30 minutes, it gets charged from 12 to 45% and after that it takes about 1:30 hours to get fully charged using the stock 1.5A charger.


So the Z17 Mini is priced at Rs 19999. For 20k, you get a stylish mobile with premium build quality, creative camera features, stable and sensible UI and a performance beast. The Z17 Mini is one of the best ergonomically designed mobiles. The dual camera setup does not convince on the need for a dual camera setup on this mobile. But at the end of the day, it gives out some amazing shots. If you are into photography and love to explore the art of imaging, you would find the Nubia Z17 mini to be a treasure chest of creativity. If you are a serious mobile gamer, this mobile can satisfy you with its performance. If you would like to show off the mobile as a style statement, Nubia Z17 Mini would be the head turner for you. Overall, the Nubia Z17 Mini is a great mobile for the millennials.




ZTE nubia Z17 mini give its own take on dual cameras



In terms of battery, the Nubia V18 is the best. It has a big 4000 mAh battery and with Android One UI, battery optimization seems good. It can give you 6 hours of screen on time with mixed usage. The only problem is that it still comes with a micro USB port without any fast charging. So, it takes about 3 hours to fully charge.


It sports dual 13MP cameras at the back allowing it to be able to take photos in the famous portrait mode. On the front there is a 16MP for crisp selfies. This device can record 4K video and takes amazing photos. Even at night and in low light where most phones fail you the Mini does well more than most. Let the videos above speak for themselves. The camera also has a pro mode for photography buffs.

It resembles the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge in a certain way, but the curves on the nubia Z9 are not drastic enough to alter your viewing experience. nubia did add some nifty software tricks to take advantage of this peculiar display, but more on will be covered later in the review.


You will be happy nubia added a few millimeters to the Z9 when you realize this phone packs a 3000 mAh battery. Battery life is impressive, guys. Even with several hours of heavy gaming and plenty of pictures taken, the phone was still able to go a full day without charging. Screen-on time was anywhere between 4 to 4.5 hours. You will be able to extend those numbers much farther with casual or light usage.


These are certainly high-end prices. And even if the nubia Z9 is a high-end phone all in all, it will have a lot of catching up to do against competitors like the Samsung Galaxy S6 and LG G4. The USA is a very competitive market, but nubia has what it takes to at least make an impression. 2ff7e9595c
