ZTE Nubia Z5: review, specifications and reviews. Stylish and powerful smartphone

Now our attention will be given to the smartphone ZTE Nubia Z5. And we have to find out what it is. Many people claim that this phone is a real "beast" among its counterparts. And it is worth buying for everyone. True, sometimes you can meet and reviews that the purchase of ZTE Nubia Z5 - the action is stupid and useless. Allegedly, you just throw money away. And how can we understand what our today's smartphone model really is? To be honest, only a clear analysis of all the opinions expressed in the address of this phone will help. It is also necessary to take into account the fact that the quality of technology is judged on the basis of a set of specific criteria. Perhaps, if you try to understand what customers think about ZTE Nubia Z5 with respect to each factor, you can really understand what kind of smartphone we are dealing with. Let us try to do this, while examining the characteristics of the proposed technique in parallel.

Display

For example, you should start with a concept such as the screen size and its quality. The thing is that this indicator often reflects most of the possibilities of a modern phone. At ZTE Nubia Z5 the display, as the manufacturer assures, excellent quality. So good that it's better not to find it. But is it really so? Or are there nothing more than just loud promises before us?

If it is fair, at all is not present. Indeed, as assured by many more users, the phone ZTE Nubia Z5 is an excellent display. Let's start with its dimensions. It is 5 inches diagonally. For a modern smartphone is the norm. Although sometimes potential buyers give their preference to smaller models. On such a phone it is very convenient to play, read, and also browse the Internet pages.

Of course, the brightness of colors is also present. It is said that this screen can transmit us up to 16 million colors. Just what you need for perfect image quality. You can say that when you work with ZTE Nubia Z5 you are watching a LCD TV with a Full-HD picture.

The resolution of this model is also quite good. Moreover, it is considered to be large among analogues. After all, you get a resolution of 1920 by 1080 points with ZTE Nubia Max. In principle, this should be enough to view high-quality films in excellent quality. This is what many buyers crave. After all, it's not good when Full-HD quality will not be visible. But with our today's smartphone there will be no such problems. No way.

Also, the ZTE Nubia Z5 touchscreen also has its own quality. He reacts to touch quickly, accurately and without misfires. And you do not need to press the screen hard. Easy enough touch. So, as you can see, so far with our current model of the smartphone, everything is in order. But this is only the first selection criterion. There are still a lot of important moments ahead that can influence the final decision when buying.

System and processor

The next two very important indicators are the operating system of the chosen smartphone, and also the processor power. To be honest, without these features you can buy absolutely any phone - there will not be a difference. Is that the price. But if you need this technique as a multifunction device, then you will have to pay special attention to the processor and system.

In order to work comfortably with the phone, as well as quickly get an answer from him, you need a powerful processor. In addition, if it is important for you to launch different new programs and games on your smartphone, you will also have to worry about the operating system. The newer it is, the better.

It should be noted that the ZTE Nubia Z5 firmware is quite good. Yes, and the version of the operating system is also happy. Now it's "Android 4.1". To be honest, you can find a smartphone with a newer version. But if quality matters to you, then you should not do this. After all, in our current model there is the possibility of updating the system. So, with the help of the Internet and for a certain period of time (no more than 30 minutes) you will be able to update your "OSes" to the latest version. And all this without damage to the "iron" and the working capacity of the phone. In principle, if you do not chase after the latest innovations in applications and games, then "Android 4.1" is a great solution.

With regard to the processor, you can say that it has average performance. Yes, now you can easily and easily find yourself an option with a greater clock frequency. But for the quality and speed of the processor, the ZTE Nubia Z5 is considered one of the best. By purchasing this device, you will get 4 cores with a frequency of 1.5 GHz. This is enough to simultaneously run 10 different applications or games, as well as for the functioning of the Internet and music player. Just what the modern buyer needs. True, the power of our today's smartphone is much inferior to its counterpart - Samsung Galaxy S4. But far from all indicators. And only on the processor. In the rest, as the buyers assure, ZTE Nubia Z5 is better several times. But is it really so? Let's try to deal with you in this difficult issue.

Memory

There is one more important parameter that even schoolchildren pay attention to now. It's nothing more than a phone's memory. Both operational and conventional. Without these indicators, you can not imagine the quality work of a powerful processor. After all, if you do not have enough memory, you can not even hope for the speed of the system. Even if it is powerful, fast initially, and also high-quality. And how do we do with ZTE Nubia Z9 (or Z5 - the differences are mostly only in design)?

To be honest, it's worth it. After all, the RAM in this smartphone is 2 gigabytes. Yes, you can find models with a large indicator. Only here to find a balance between the power of the processor and RAM is often extremely difficult. And this, of course, leaves its imprint on the performance of equipment. Thus, the smartphone with a 4-core processor and 1.5 GHz clock speed is perfectly combined with 2 GB "RAM". As already mentioned, the smartphone will just perfectly respond to your "calls" for action. And with all this, you will not have to worry that the system will start to "brake".

In addition, an important indicator is also ordinary memory. That is the space that can be used for personal data. ZTE Nubia Z9 (and its analogs) now has 32 gigabytes of free memory. And of them about 2 GB is given for the operating system "Adrod". Remains about 30. And this is enough for a modern user. But not a music lover or a gamer. In practice, it is noticeable that a special memory card is usually inserted into ordinary memory. It adds free space, and also allows the data to become mobile - they took out the card, moved it to another phone - and use it further.

It should be noted that the ZTE Nubia Z5S does not support miscroSD connectivity. And anyway, in this model there is no connector for additional memory. That is, you will be severely limited in space. Yes, users often have 30 GB, but if you like to play or listen to music in excellent quality, then you have to moderate your fervor. Otherwise, there will not be enough system resources to operate the phone. In truth, many users are trying to abandon the ZTE Nubia Z5S precisely because of the small amount of space. Or rather, since in this model there is no possibility of connecting additional memory. This is extremely inconvenient. In principle, if you do not plan to "jam" your phone, then the proposed location should be enough with a vengeance. So we move with you to other indicators that may affect the decision to purchase a smartphone.

Camera

Modern phones are multifunctional devices. So, in them at least there should be a camera. And quite good. After all, a normal modern smartphone replaces the camera, and also allows you to shoot video in good quality. And how do we do with ZTE Nubia Z5 (Mini or analogs)?

The thing is that buyers express their admiration for this indicator. After all, our today's model is equipped with two cameras. This possibility is not present everywhere. On this smartphone you can see the front camera. She is an excellent helper for Selfie, and also when talking on a video call. True, the quality of its front camera is not the best of its kind - only 1.9 megapixels. After all, now very common models of smartphones with a "front-line" 2 Mp, or even more. In principle, this is enough for conversations and selfies. After all, the main camera plays a more important role.

And here with her in our model everything is in order. The usual camera on the ZTE Nubia Z5 (Mini or on analogs) is notable for its quality. It is 13 megapixels. This is for the modern phone - the average. Sometimes there are models with 15-16 Mp. Only here it is difficult to find them. And it is not necessary at all. After all, 13 Mp is an excellent indicator. Now not all cameras and camcorders (amateur) have such quality of shooting.

In addition, we will be able to shoot videos in Full-HD format. However, some inconveniences still appear. The problem is that ZTE Nubia, whose review is presented to our attention, as mentioned earlier, does not have the option of attaching additional memory. Of course, the high quality of the videos, as well as the photos, requires quite a lot of free space. Do you plan to use your smartphone as a camera or camcorder, and even without constant cleaning from unnecessary files? Then you have to abandon the Nubia Z5. After all, with this use the place on the phone will end very quickly. But in the event that the camera plan to "activate" only when necessary, and also if you are not too lazy to carry out constant cleaning, then you can turn your attention to this model. After all, in many respects, it really deserves a good place in the market of modern technology.

Also, the rear (main) camera has its advantages. In addition to high quality, you can detect a flash, as well as autofocus. It will help to make your pictures quality and without divorce. So you can hope that your video and photos will be extremely beautiful and unforgettable, thanks to the rear camera on our today's smartphone.

Dimensions

In addition, some particularly picky customers when choosing a smartphone pay great attention to the size of the device. Present phones differ in their overall size. And not everyone likes this. But if you want to play on the big screen, then you have to make some sacrifices.

Phone ZTE Nubia Z5 can not be called cumbersome. After all, it is not very long and wide. In addition, this model has an extremely small thickness. Some customers call it ultra-thin. But what are the indicators in this area?

The length of our smartphone reaches only 138 millimeters. For a modern smartphone, this is an average. After all, often now on the shelves of the models there are models from 142 millimeters. The width of the "body" is 6.9 centimeters. Also not very much. But not a little. Enough for comfortable work with the device. But the thickness of this model is small - only 7.6 millimeters. This model is convenient to hold in hands, and also to carry in a pocket.

The physical parameters of the screen (except for the diagonal) are often also important for buyers. ZTE Nubia features the following:

• The screen size is 62 by 110 millimeters;
• Diagonal - 12.7 centimeters;
• The resolution is 1080r.

To be honest, this is quite enough to watch video, as well as comfortable work with the device. Yes, you can find yourself a more cumbersome model. Only now it will be extremely inconvenient to talk about it. And with Nubia Z5, everything in this plan is in perfect order. So you can not doubt - the dimensions of our today's model are acceptable even for the smallest female pen.

Communication support

If you have not forgotten, then the main task of any phone is communication. And the smartphone ZTE Nubia has very interesting indicators in this regard. It should be noted immediately that this model is not only suitable for multimedia, but also beautiful with respect to the supported communication options.

For example, it has GPS and GPRS. Now it is difficult to imagine a phone without the support of these networks. Also in a number of communication tools, they note the possibility of connecting to 3G and even to 4G. True, the latter option is not yet working very well. There are some minor glitches. It's not so scary - very soon 4G-network will work on smartphones without interruptions and malfunctions.

Also, special attention should be paid to the presence on the phone of at least 3 more types of network. This Wi-Fi, "Bluetooth", as well as USB. Fortunately, in our today's model all this is there. And Bluetooth is the latest version - 4.0. What does it mean? When transmitting data via "Blutuz" you can hope for a fast and qualitative process flow. In comparison with other versions of this connection, the difference is visible to the naked eye. However, to notice it, you need to try to transfer data via Bluetooth 4.0.

In addition, the quality of all communication (except for rare incidents with 4G) pleases. You will receive a good signal, and you can also hope that there will be no glitches and malfunctions on the network. In addition, the smartphone catches the network even in the most remote places. For example, in basements or elevators. So you can always stay in touch. This is exactly what anyone who buys a phone needs.

Battery

It's not a secret that another important indicator for any smartphone is the battery charge. Many manufacturers suffer from the fact that their offspring quickly run out of energy. And, as a result, buyers leave far from the best reviews of such models.

ZTE Nubia Max (or analogs), to be honest, have far from the best battery. Nevertheless, it is still considered qualitative. After all, in the standby mode, the smartphone runs a month and a half, with conversations (systematic) - about three weeks. But in case of active use, everything depends only on each user. But on average, without recharging, this model can last about 3 days. This is quite normal for a modern phone. But such a term will only be if you play a lot, watch the Internet pages, and listen to music all the time.

In addition, the ZTE Nubia - a standard connector for the charger. And the "charger" itself is rather small. You can always take it with you on the road or travel. It will fit even into a female clutch. So if you are afraid that you will not have enough battery power on the way, you can completely take your device with you to charge, and then use it, after reaching the first outlet you got.

Incidentally, our current model is charging very quickly. In the state of battery charge 0% (if the smartphone turned off and does not turn on) you will have to wait just 1.5 hours. After that, you can use the phone again. In principle, most modern phones are now charging about 120 minutes. So ZTE Nubia Z5 in this regard has a significant advantage.

Design

But this is still far from everything that potential buyers can pay their attention to. In addition to all the listed items, the "appearance" of the device also plays an important role. It is believed that sometimes it is able to impose on the smartphone a brand of poor quality and unpopular goods.

How are things with the Nubia Z5? The thing is that this model has far not the most artsy design. Nevertheless, it pleases many buyers. A minimalism with a velvet ebb. Initially, there were several variants of colors - white, black and gray. However, each buyer has a great opportunity to change the design to your taste. After all, removable panels come to the rescue. In the configuration they are not, but separately such things are sold everywhere. So you can easily and easily choose another color, as well as options with print or photos. That is, independently create your own original design. This is a fairly common technique for many manufacturers. Just remember - all the panels are made of plastic. So to save the phone in a working condition and without scratches a cover is required. For ZTE Nubia, this is now not such a problem. After all, the cover is included in the standard equipment. Yes, and you can buy it separately in any hardware store.

Repair of components

So, with the characteristics of the smartphone, we have already figured out. But there are still some moments that can affect the final decision to buy our today's goods. For example, repair of its components.

It's not a secret for anyone that over time different phones break down. And they need to be changed in a timely manner. Otherwise, you will not be able to work properly with the device. A pretty popular problem on Nubia is the replacement of the display. The thing is that it works well. But here at falling it is easily damaged. Especially if the smartphone falls from a great height. And replacement of the display in this case is simply necessary. The cost of this service is approximately 3-4 thousand. The price tag, as you can see, is quite high here. The same goes for repairing other parts.

This fact is extremely frustrating for buyers. After all, the original ZTE Nubia is not so cheap. Okay, if once you pay a substantial amount, and then use a quality smartphone for a long time. But if you regularly pay for replacement of the components of the phone, and even in such quantities, it is more expedient to just buy yourself a cheaper model for the same 4 thousand rubles. True, repairs to our today's smartphone may be necessary only if the rules of operation are not observed. Or after about 5 years of service.

Price list and impressions

The last moment that can only be selected when choosing equipment is the price tag for the goods. To be honest, this criterion is almost at the very beginning of the selection process. Well, if we have a really good and high-quality model in front of us - it's not a pity for it. But I do not really want to overpay for the cheap.

ZTE Nubia Z5 price is average. As many buyers say, it could be lower. After all, this smartphone has its own significant drawbacks. In particular, those that are found in phones today are extremely rare. For example, the impossibility of connecting a memory card, expensive component repair. On average, you can buy Nubia for about 17-20 thousand rubles. When ordering through the Internet, you can often buy it for 13-14 thousand. In principle, not such a large sum for a powerful and stylish smartphone.

In general, buyers are satisfied with this model. Of course, there were some shortcomings, but we already took them into account. Should I pay attention to this product at all? If the budget allows, then yes. Otherwise, you can always choose a cheaper analog. It is not necessary to think that ZTE Nubia Z5 is the best smartphone in the world for which you can give away your last money. Yes, this model is really worthy, but it is not so good as to immediately rush to buy it. Well, weigh all the pros and cons, only then make a final conclusion.
