When talking about the strongest mobile phones with Snapdragon 835 processor, you may think of Xiaomi 6, One Plus 5 and other models first. Indeed, they have higher exposure, but higher attention does not mean better. We will silently count the models of the current Snapdragon 835, and we are surprised to find that in addition to these, there is a brand named Nubia that has been working silently, from true · borderless to full frequency version of the Snapdragon 835, which has been low-key and introverted, and has quietly made the Snapdragon 835 a leader in the industry. Let's take a look at this model with both strength and beauty.
After the development of many generations of mobile phones, Nubia has formed a considerable technological accumulation, and its symbolic red circle has also been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Today's protagonist, Z17, is their new masterpiece.
In terms of appearance, the Z17 continues Nubia's consistent design style. The front design is very simple. There is no logo on the forehead and chin. It only shows its identity with a symbolic appearance - borderless design+red circle Home key. This time Nubia has made borderless extremely, so the front face is very powerful and has a high face value.
Because the symbolic red circle entity touch Home button is still used, it is expected that Z17 will not be able to identify the front fingerprint. The design of rear fingerprint recognition is relatively standard, located in the middle and upper part of the fuselage, and the color matching is consistent with the fuselage color.
The design style of the back is more Nubian, and the Nubian logo is printed on the fuselage headquarters, but such a landmark design can quickly show your identity even without the logo.
In addition to the impressive frameless screen, the biggest highlight of the Z17 is the 23 million+12 million pixel rear dual camera, which continues Nubia's usual "red circle" appearance. Nubia has made remarkable progress in photography in the past two years, so we are looking forward to its flagship products.
Nubia has been promoting frameless design for many years, but the previous products are more or less less extreme than the Z17. The introduction of the Z17 almost completely frameless design gives us a strong sense of impact. Nubia can finally call itself a true frameless design this time.
In terms of details, let's start from the front of the fuselage. There are only earphones, front cameras and LED indicators on the forehead. There are sensors hidden under the LED indicators.
Only Nubia's signature red circle Home button is retained on the chin of the fuselage. The return button and multi task button are hidden on both sides of the Home button, which can exchange functions in settings and turn off the backlight, so that the integrity of the panel is better.
In terms of back details, the Z17 is also simple. The rear dual core, dual color fill light, rear fingerprint identification and brand logo have nothing else. There is an antenna partition strip at the bottom, and the other antenna partition strip is located on the top frame.
The rear dual camera uses the red appearance that Nubia has always used, which has also become one of Nubia's iconic designs. The dual camera protrudes slightly from the body, but it is not obvious. The thickness is better than that of the iPhone 7 Plus.
The back of the fuselage is made of metal, but different treatment processes are used for different colors. Sand blasting process is used for red and black, and polishing+coating process is used for blue.
The polished metal surface looks very close to glass at first, almost fake, full of texture.
Under the solid color wallpaper, we can feel the charm of borderless.
Although the proportion of screens is not very high at present, the visual impact is still strong, and even full screen phones have never been so amazing.
Not only does the screen account for an excellent proportion, but also the screen appearance is outstanding, the color is sharp, and the picture is relatively transparent.
The 2.5D glass protruding from the surface is used as the screen glass. In the case of almost no frame, there is a feeling that the screen is suspended in the body.
In terms of the side layout, there is only a SIM card slot on the left, which supports dual cards and dual standby.
The buttons are all located on the right side. The upper part is the volume button, and the lower part is the power button. In actual use, the lower power button is more convenient for finger recognition and operation.
In terms of interface, Z17 uses the most common USB Type-C interface, which can be used with most mobile phone data cables. The loudspeaker opening is designed symmetrically, but one side is for decoration, and the call microphone is hidden inside.
In addition to the conventional noise reduction microphone and infrared sensor, the top of the fuselage also has Nubia's unique antenna partition bar design. Different from the general dome design, the Z17 injection molded partition bar is located in the center of the top frame from the edge up. Since the color of the injection molding is quite close to the fuselage, the hiding effect is very good.
On the whole, the appearance design of Z17 is very successful, which not only improves the aesthetic perception, but also well retains the consistent design style of Nubia. It can be said that both beauty and tradition can be achieved.
