stay ZX Event After that, Nubia was also involved. The most direct impact was the delay of the launch of Snapdragon 845 flagship mobile phone. But as the saying goes, it's better to be late than never. On September 5, Nubia Z18 officially released.

Jilao Moment
After querying by pulling the Log, the following information is obtained:
The screen is from JDI, cmd mode
Fingerprints from Goodix
Touch IC from Synaptics
The flash memory is Samsung KLUCG2K1EA-BOC1, UFS
Dual camera sensor: IMX499（ main ）And S5K2X7（ Vice- ）, both apertures are f/1.6. The main camera IMX499 has a unit pixel area of 1.12 μ m and supports optical anti shake, but this sensor is not common and has only been used on some very unpopular machines; The sub camera is not a telephoto, only responsible for ranging.
appearance
At a glance, the back of the Z18 is still a family design. Whether it is a dual camera style, rear fingerprint recognition or the logo of Nubia, it feels very familiar.
There is an infrared transmitter on the top, which is rare in the 845 flagship at present. This is a good comment. You can use it to control your own or other people's air conditioners when you are free. And it also has NFC, whether used or not, it sounds really kind.
（ At the bottom, in the middle is Type-C connector, 3.5mm headphone connector? Nonexistent ）
（ On the left side of the fuselage, the exclusive "calf voice" button has a textured surface ）
（ On the right side of the body, power button and volume button ）
Accessories at a glance: charging head, Type-C data cable, Type-C-3.5mm adapter and a hard phone case. The texture of the included phone case is very good. It has a matte texture and is not easy to slip. It is also a little more feel than silicone.
Red and Van Gogh Collection
screen
Turn around and look at the front. This is a 6.0 inch LCD display Low frequency PWM dimming The Alliance can cheer! The resolution is 2160 x 1080. Judging from the simple experience in recent days, the appearance is good, and the performance is in line with the price（ LCD will never be a slave!!! ）。
（ As for more detailed objective data of the screen, we will release it in the subsequent evaluation ）
A big change of Z18 screen this time is the use of water drop screen（ Both Beauty and Sharpness ）Design, now it looks more "full screen". Also thanks to this design, the upper and lower jaw are narrower than before, and the border is also very narrow. For the current screen designs, my personal preference is: No bangs, narrow chin, full screen ＞ Full screen ＞ Beauty Sharp Screen ＞ IPhone X Liu Haiping ＞ “ ”Screen 。
In terms of appearance, Z18 performed well this time. Even though its 8.5mm thickness is not thin, the four curved glass on the back can save a lot. Anyway, I think it's pretty good to hold it in my hand, and the beauty sharp screen looks more comfortable than bangs, so the overall appearance is OK √
performance
As the flagship, the Z18 is also equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC, which has two versions: 6+64 and 8+128. This time, we got the entry version 6+64. In terms of score running, the score of Z18 is normal, but the Geekbench multi-core score is low. I don't know whether it is related to the firmware version during the test. I will test again after upgrading to the official version.
A wave of achievements:
The storage performance is good, especially in random write. In fact, the performance of the current 845 mobile phones is not much worse. This SoC will not disappoint you if you can cope with various apps and chickens.
system
Nubia Z18 runs Nubia UI 6.0 based on Android 8.1, which is not very different from the previous Nubia machines. The UI design is pretty good. Anyway, compared with MIUI I prefer Nubia design.
Follow Z18mini 、 V18 Like the machine, the Z18 is also equipped with a dedicated and non programmable "Maverick Voice" button on the left side of the fuselage. Press and hold it, you can start to speak. After you release it, text will be generated, and you can choose to send it to WeChat, SMS and other places. If the words you say hit the system voice command, for example, what's the weather today, and what movies you have seen recently? At this time, it will answer your questions in the form of text, or you can directly say: Open the app, and then it will open the app.
BTW： If you don't like the beauty tip, you can choose to hide it in the settings.
charge
The battery capacity of 3450mAh is normal in the current 845 flagship, and the endurance performance will also be released in the subsequent detailed evaluation. Last year's Nubia Z17 It is the first machine to support QC4+, and the subsequent Z17S There is also NeoCharge 2.5 26W quick charge, but this year's Z18 is relatively flat. The highest specification of the quick charge head is 9V 2A. I feel that I have slightly shifted to R gear and stepped on the accelerator
（ Measured power when the electric quantity is 19%: dark screen 12-13W ; Light screen 15W Wander up and down, and finally stabilize at 13W ）
camera
Nubia Z18 is equipped with 16 million+24 million pixel dual camera, and the main camera is IMX499（ With optical anti shake ）, f/1.6 aperture, 1.12 μ m unit pixel area, this sensor has only been used on some extremely unpopular machines, such as and In terms of parameters, IMX499 is not as sexy as the common IMX363 this year.
From a simple camera experience, the focusing speed is good. Even in low light conditions, it is OK. The camera functions are also sufficient. All kinds of filters, slow motion, delay photography, etc., but the imaging speed is average. It takes a long time from pressing the shutter to the picture appearing in the interface box. How about the level of this IMX499?
Proof sheet
Compared with the current 12 million flagship, 16 million pixels should have some advantages in analytical power, but the tolerance is average, and the dark part of the daytime proof lost some details. And because the unit pixel area of 1.12 μ m has no advantage over the 1.4 μ m of the mainstream flagship, it is likely to be attacked by its peers or even lower level opponents in low light environment. 24 megapixel on Z18mini（ S5K2X7 ）The main camera is downgraded to a sub camera on the Z18, not a telephoto.
summary
The price of Nubia Z18 is from ¥ 2799, which is not particularly fragrant（ 101 yuan more than Meizu 16 ）On the contrary, the 8+128 version is OK in the same level, but it is really too late. To quote a netizen, different types of mobile phones have appeared from 2599 to 9999, and it is not easy to break through.
It's not like Xiaomi 8 is so cheap It was released early again. It's not Meizu 16, it's cheap, there are some highlights, and there's no hammer And the unlimited screen, but the Z18 is a very stable mobile phone, which is commonly known as the bucket machine. After all, after all, after experiencing such ups and downs, no one wants to take any risks. The most important thing is to seek stability, recognition and sales.
Unfortunately, the previous Nubian flagship has some highlights, but this time the Z18 is relatively small, which is not a disadvantage, but as a loyal cowboy user, it will more or less feel a pity.
