ZTE Nubia Z5 flagship leaks again, 5" full frontal this time

The ZTE Nubia Z5 leaked a few times already in all of its 440ppi 5" screen glory, but we only saw the back and sides of the thin and powerful flagship which kickstarts a whole high-end Nubia line for ZTE.

Now we get full frontal of the Z5, and some more tidbits about the "Italian design" of the device. It is apparently a unibody chassis, meaning that you are likely stuck with the internal memory and battery capacity ZTE decided to place in there.

As a reminder, like any self-respecting Full HD display phone these days, the ZTE Nubia Z5 will feature a quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro, 2 GB of RAM, and a 13 MP camera on the back, just like the rumored LG E940, the Sony Xperia Odin/Yuga and the Oppo Find 5 handset. In fact, only the Droid DNA strays from that pack with an 8 MP shooter on the rear.

The ZTE Nubia Z5 is said to be just 7.6mm thin, and will apparently have dual speakers on the back. The phone is likely to be released next week in China, so we are waiting with bated breath on the value-for-money ratio, which ZTE is pretty good at.

See all pictures of the Nubia Z5 leaked so far in the slideshow below, and tell us what you think about the molded design of this performer, and the apparent UI overlay by ZTE, except the fact that the chassis build reeks of HTC.

You're dumb, all the 2013 flagships are coming with S4 pro. How is that exciting ?? More diversity !!

If that's so boring why don't you invent something 5x faster and smaller than it? I'm sure THAT won't be boring.

Am I the only one who realized that three buttons at the bottom looks like HTC's??

Especially that back button :s

holy crap you are right, didnt notice that. but the camera is strikingly similar to a flagship that was released earlier this year..

ZTE drew a lot of design inspiration from other manufacturers. looks like an HTC handset to me.

14. StringCheese01 posted on 07 Dec 2012, 17:47 1 0

Even the camera and flash in the back look like an HTC

5. andro. posted on 07 Dec 2012, 06:59 1 0

Dual speakers is a new welcome edition,hopefully all 2013 handsets will have this coupled with the 1080p screens.

Wonder if it will even see a US release though

11. kindlefireowner posted on 07 Dec 2012, 08:16 3 0

Every ZTE phone released in the USA has been garbage. Not sure if this would be any different. Would I spend my money on a ZTE phone. No.

16. PhoneKing posted on 26 Dec 2012, 15:36 0 0

If only the iPhone had that screen, core, and cameras. iOS would go great with that. Besides the outer shell of the phone, I think apple needs to concentrate more on hardware.
