The Nubia Z9 was already leaked in a few photos, but now we have a few more courtesy of Leaksfly. The new ones show an all-metal phone with a relatively thin design and rear mounted fingerprint sensor. The phone looks almost as thin as the iPhone 6, but it’s a bit bigger owing to its more spacious screen. It appears that this is the Max version, with a 5.5-inch panel.

The kicker is the slim bezel design, which allows the company to build a somewhat more compact device. There is no symmetry, either, so the top is much smaller than the bottom, which houses three soft keys.

Under the bonnet, the Z9 is expected to sport Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 810, but there is a catch. ZTE usually designs three different Z-series flagships, in three form factors – standard, mini and max, which is essentially a phablet.

The new ZTE Nubia Z9 is expected to launch be the end of the month. It’s unclear whether or not ZTE will market it in Europe and the US, but the phone appears to tick all the right boxes – it’s got the looks and the hardware to be a success. Hopefully ZTE will not mess up on the software front, but the good news is that it’s shipping with Android 5.0, so we can only hope ZTE used the opportunity to tweak its Android skin.
