ZTE Nubia Z9's innovative Frame Interactive Technology showcased on video

Announced last month as ZTE's most innovative smartphone to date, the Nubia Z9 is already available to buy in China, and will soon be released in the US.

Thanks to its near-borderless design, the Nubia Z9 is ready to partially change the way we interact with smartphones. The handset features what ZTE is calling Frame Interactive Technology, allowing users to command the device by interacting with its left and right edges.

ZTE is now showcasing the Z9 and its Frame Interactive Technology in a promo video, so everyone can take a look at what the new technology can do (from unlocking the screen to app switching, taking screenshots, or zooming in and out of photos and maps).

Of course, we'll have to test this new technology for ourselves to see if it's as user friendly as ZTE suggests it is. Until then, check out ZTE's video below.

The Nubia Z9 should be launched in the US in the third quarter of the year (thus as early as July), and we expect the handset to have prices starting at around $600 unlocked. Do you plan to get one?
