When the word ‘mini’ is mentioned within a smartphone’s name, logic makes you feel the device is mini in specs. Contrary to that, ZTE Nubia Z18 Mini has nothing mini about it when it comes to specs. Examining its display features, camera sharpness, processor build and battery capacity, the smartphone marvels beyond mini. It’s high time we start its dissection, don’t you think?
Made up of aluminium alloy material, the smartphone’s rear appearance is governed by smoothness and lines ejecting sparks of illumination. At the top left corner, the dual camera setup gets its position alongside the LED flash, however, the fingerprint scanner isn’t too far away from this setup.
An 80% screen-to-body ratio is what the bezel-less display of this device got stretched to. In fact, with the Full View aspect ratio in place, the smartphone has a 5.7-inch LTPS IPS touchscreen that has 1080 X 2160 pixels resolution. Android 8.1 Oreo OS functions as the smartphone’s software. Interestingly, the mobile has NeoSmart AI enabled on it as well as Nubia UI to provide an excellent user experience.
The rear camera setup of this smartphone we talked about earlier has 24MP primary sensor and 5MP secondary sensor taking care of photography duties. In dark conditions, the LED flash present provides the needed illumination. Selfies are taken courtesy of the 8MP front shooter with f/2.0 aperture. Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC is at the centre of operations, and it encloses an octa-core CPU with maximum speed of 2.2GHz. Adreno 512 GPU ensured gamers don’t have graphics to worry about.
In line with the processor, a stunning 6GB RAM ensures maximum performance of the smartphone. Either with a 64GB or 128GB internal memory, the smartphone’s storage can expand to 256GB with the aid of a MicroSD card. ZTE Nubia Z18 Mini uses a non-removable Li-Po 3,450mAh battery as its duration pack.
