As if October wasn’t already packed full of new product announcements, China’s Nubia is today hosting a launch event for its new flagship called the Nubia X. It’s an ZTE flagship Phone which was launched in October 2018.
The Nubia X is the first phone to have screens on both sides and the result is surprisingly good. On the front, the 6.26-inch, 19:9 ratios, 2280 x 1080-pixel AMOLED screen looks totally clean, with almost no bezels on the sides and extremely thin ones on top and bottom— a 93.6 percent screen-to-body ratio. There’s a fingerprint ID sensor under the display, which the company claims unlock the phone in 0.1 seconds, and that’s it.
On the back there’s another AMOLED touchscreen that is 5.1 inches and 1520 x 720 pixels. This is the one you use for the selfies, but also to display any information you want, from a clock face to notifications to custom decorations. The idea is that, while you are not taking a selfie, you can set this screen to the optional always on mode.
Being OLED, people will be able to set a low-power consumption face with a 100 percent black background. It’s smart, and I bet that many people will like the customization option.

ZTE claims that it uses artificial intelligence and sensors to automatically turn displays on and off to save further energy: if you put the phone on the back, it will automatically turn off the display even if it’s in Always On mode. And vice versa: if you turn the phone around while using the front screen, it will illuminate the black automatically.
The battery powering this screen sandwich is rated at 3,800mAh, there’ll be a choice of 6GB or 8GB of RAM, and the ever-present Snapdragon 845 will be at the heart of the whole thing. the software Nubia intends to ship with the X is based on the older Android 8.1 Oreo instead of the freshest Android 9 Pie.
While it’s being unveiled in China, but yet don’t seem to be any plans for the Nubia X in the global market. So we can just look at it from afar and debate exactly how useful (or necessary) that second screen is.
If we look at the specs of camera There are two cameras on the back: An f/1.7 aperture 24-megapixel and a f/1.8 16-megapixel sensor, which supports AI-based portrait mode with depth effects, scene recognition, and 240fps slow video capture. It also has two large dual-tone flashes, one of them being a soft light LED for better selfies, the manufacturer claims.
Since the Nubia X uses the back camera to take selfies, you'll be able to use the flash for better results in dim conditions.
But perhaps what makes this phone even more surprising is its size: all of this tech is packed in an aviation-grade aluminum frame that is only 8.4mm thick. Compare that to the Samsung Galaxy S10’s 8.5mm, iPhone XR’s 8.3mm, iPhone XS’ 7mm or Pixel 3’s 7.9mm — but keep in mind that the cameras in the Nubia X are almost completely flush with the body.
The Nubia is also shockingly light for packing all this stuff: 181 grams. For comparison, the IPhones X series, are 177 grams (XS), 194 grams (XR) and 208 grams (XS Max).
The entire electronic package is cooled with graphene layers to quickly dissipate heat.
Here is the pricing of the different variants of the Nubia X,
6 GB RAM + 64 GB storage Color Variants: Deep Gray, Black Gold – 3,299 Yuan (~$473), Sea Blue – 3,399 Yuan (~$487)
8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage Color Variants: Deep Gray, Black Gold – 3,699 Yuan (~$530), Sea Blue – 3,799 Yuan (~$545)
8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage Color Variants: Black Gold – 4,199 Yuan (~$602), Blue Gold – 4,299 Yuan (~$616)
If you want to find out whether or not this dual-screen setup is a good idea, you'll have to head over to China. The company has not announced any plans to sell the phone elsewhere. Expected date to be released worldwide is 5 November 2018
