ZTE Nubia Z9 Max Elite gets certified in China by TENAA

Last month, we told you about a couple of new handsets being prepped by ZTE, the ZTE Nubia Z9 Max Elite, and the ZTE Nubia Z9 mini Elite. Today, we have word that the higher spec'd model of the two, the Nubia Z9 Max Elite, has been certified by China's TENAA regulatory agency. The handset comes with a 5.5-inch display, carrying a 1080 x 1920 resolution. Powering the device is the Snapdragon 810 SoC, which includes an octa-core 1.8GHz CPU and the Adreno 430 GPU.

The ZTE Nubia Z9 Max Elite comes with 3GB of RAM, 16GB of native storage, and a 128GB capacity microSD slot for those needing additional memory. On the back of the unit, there is a 16MP camera with LED flash. An 8MP snapper graces the front of the handset, ready to take selfies and handle video chats. Unlike the ZTE Nubia Z9 Max, the Z9 Max Elite has a fingerprint scanner. This is located on the side of the phone, similar to where Sony puts the biometric scanner on the Sony Xperia Z5 line.

The phone supports 4G LTE connectivity, and includes a USB Type-C port. Now that the unit has been given the green light by TENAA, it shouldn't be too long before the handset is officially unveiled by ZTE. That is when we will learn about things like pricing and availability.


Thanks for the tip!
