Lately we hear a lot of buzz from Chinese Smartphones with the Xiaomi MI4, Meizu MX4 and still the OnePlus One. One smartphone in particular though has gotten more and more requests from our readers, the Nubia Z7 Series.

But why is the ZTE Nubia Z7 Series so popular and why do so many of our readers want to see a review? If you have a closer look at the Nubia Z7 phones you really dont need to be an expert to see why these smartphones are so popular. Especially the Nubia Z7 Mini is very attractive, so lets see what are the most popular facts about the Nubia Z7 Mini.

Nubia Z7 Mini Design and Size

2014 has been the rise of big display phones. Not everybody loves the big size 5.5 inch smartphones though, a matter that a lot of chinese and international smartphone makers have been ignoring lately. While last year we saw most smartphones with sizes about 4.7 to 5 inch, this year a lot of FLagship Smartphones average Display sizes of 5.5 inches and more.

For fans who like a Flagship and smaller displays that leaves less choice. The Nubia Z7 Mini hits the Sweetspot with a 5 inch 1080 screen and still very attractive specs and pricing to compete with other FlagShips.

Nubia Z7 Dual Sim And LTE Support

One popular feature that is missing on many latest flagship smartphones like the Xiaomi Mi4 is Dual Sim Support. Sure there are many Dual Sim Smartphones, but not many choices for Flagships with the newest Snapdragon 801 Processor.

Nubia Z7 Mini vs Huawei Honor 6 vs Xiaomi Mi4

The Nubia Z7 Flagship and also the Nubia Z7 Mini support Dual Sim and the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 for maximum horsepower. With Dual Sim you can easily connect work and social life on the Nubia Z7. On top of that the Z7 supports 4G LTE as well.

Expandable Memory via Micro SD Reader

Again a feature that we would love to see on every new Flagship Smartphone. A lot of the popular ones like OnePlus One and Xiaomi Mi4 do not have expandable memory via MicroSd though. With the Nubia Z7 Mini its easy to just get in your Micro SD card to extend the memory of your smartphone.

A lot of times this feature isnt offered because its so expensive to built in, but rather its an easy way to make large profits on Smartphone versions with more Internal Memory, see Apple but also OnePLus One. With the Nubia Z7 Mini you can easily expand your ROM via Micro SD.

Nubia Z7 Mini Camera

We did not have the Chance to test the Nubia Z7 Mini Camera ourselves yet. According to Chinese Tech Sites and Forums the Z7 Camera on the Mini and Max Version though is definitely one of the best in the market available. Additionally Nubia integrated a Camera APP in the NUBIA OS that should even satisfy the most ambitous Smartphoen Photographers.

The Price of Nubia Z7 Mini

The best thing of the Nubia Z7 Mini is the price though. In China the Z7 Mini is priced signifcantly below the 2000 Yuan mark, 320USD, of most the competitor Flagship phones. The Z7 Mini offers a Sharp display with same size and resolution and Snapdragon 801 processor as Xiaomi Mi4. On top you get Dual SIM and expandable Memory via Micro SD.

Only because the Nubia Z7 Mini is so cheap in china, often it does not mean that it will be so cheap for International Customers. The Z7 Mini though can be found as cheap as 285 USD on Aliexpress. The Flagship Version of Nubia Z7 we could find for 930RM in Malaysia. 

We will also try to get our Hands on Nubia Z7 to review soon, wish us good luck with that. What do you think about the Z7? Would you like to own one, or are you more a fan of the OnePlus One or Meizu MX4?
