ZTE Nubia Z11 moves to India December 14 along with N1

We haven’t been talking about the Nubia sub-brand of ZTE lately. Really, all the excitement has been on the US and the Axon series for good reason — lots of the community development and strategy shifting has been done in front of our eyes in a forum very much accessible to us.

But that’s not to say that the Nubia forums haven’t been coming along as well. And in India, there’s a buzz about the next big releases to come along this month. In fact, it’s coming along tomorrow.

Those would be the Nubia Z11 (pictured above) and Nubia N1 (below). Both phones went public in China around summertime and the former in Europe during IFA. But India is the next destination for the two. The Deccan Chronicle is reporting that the Snapdragon 820-toting Z11 will go for about Rs. 25,000 ($371) while the mid-range, big battery N1 will go for Rs. 17,200 ($255).

They’re both more than decent products which you can learn more about in the respective links above.

ZTE Nubia N1 debuts with little fanfare, huge battery, premium build, and low price

Well, isn’t this a nice little surprise? The timing might not feel very inspired to our American readers, but the ZTE Nubia N1 exclusively targets cash-strapped Android power users in China anyway, so what does it matter to them that today’s the Fourth of July?Priced at the equivalent of $255 (CNY 1,700), the brand-new 5.5-incher greatly resembles (on the outside) a slightly older 5.5-incher that managed to rack up a million ...

Polaroid Selfie phone with rotating camera draws Oppo’s wrath

Kodak wasn’t the only brand more typically associated with photography that’s been showing off smartphones at CES this year, and Polaroid had a few handsets of its own up for display. While it did launch some new connected cameras and tablets, we didn’t hear a formal announcement for any of the straight-up phones. In spite of that, the hardware still managed to catch a few eyes, especially due to how closely one of these models, ...

Nokia N1 pre-orders open, tablet arrives later this month

The Nokia N1 Android tablet may be a device that’s primarily a Nokia product in name only, brought into this world by the team at Foxconn, but what a name it is. From Windows Phone, to Symbian, and beyond, Nokia’s been a leader in mobile tech for decades, so it’s no surprise that when word arrived in November of a Nokia-branded tablet with some very impressive specs and and a quite affordable price, we sat up and took notice. But were we getting ahead of ourselves? Would the N1 be as good in ...

Nokia’s Android tablet gets an ETA for very early 2015

Last month Nokia dropped a bit of a bombshell: while the company’s sale to Microsoft of its devices and services division precludes it from releasing a smartphone under its own name for the immediate future, the remaining Nokia crew seized upon one heck of a loophole, allowing them to launch an Android tablet – the Nokia N1. The 2K-res 4:3 tablet sure reminded us enough of slates like the iPad Air 2 or HTC Nexus 9, but the Nokia N1 had one big advantage over those guys: a price tag that came out to the ...

Nokia N1 tablet specs: 64-bit, 2K display, Android Lollipop

Nokia had been teasing some sort launch for today, but when it revealed the N1 Android tablet just a little earlier this morning, the news was still a bit of a surprise. After all, Nokia’s whole X-series Android experiment looked like it was over, but while Android smartphones may be one thing, Android tablets are clearly another.With a 4:3 display in a 2048 x 1536 resolution and a 64-bit SoC, the Nokia N1 is ...

Nokia N1 announced, the company’s first Android tablet

We were all expecting a Nokia tablet for the longest time, and today, the Finnish company has just announced one. However, instead of running Windows (any iteration, really), the Nokia N1 announced today is a slate which is powered by Google’s Android. …and not just any version of Android, but the latest iteration: Android 5.0 Lollipop, on top of which Nokia threw its own Z Launcher.If you have a feeling that the tablet you see above, and at images at the source link below, resembles the iPad (mini), you’re not alone. Moving on, we’re looking at a 7.9-inch slate ...

Why Oppo deserves more credit than it gets

I admittedly do not have a ton of experience with Oppo. The first Oppo phone I ever held was the Find 7a I reviewed earlier this year. The first time I even heard the name Oppo was when the N1 was announced, and that was only because it had a massive 5.9-inch display and a rotating primary camera which can be likened to some flip phones from way back when.Outside that, my knowledge of the company, its products, and its perception globally is pretty limited.That’s mainly because Oppo hasn’t thrust itself ...

Oppo rumored to unveil the N1 successor in October

Oppo is one of those companies that we wish had more presence outside of Asia. The company has brought us some of the hottest flagships of the year, starting with devices like the Oppo Find 7 and Find 7a, and the same can be said about the innovative swivel camera design of the Oppo N1. ...

Oppo N1 Mini gets announced, and yes, it’s big

Oppo has done a good job in keeping itself on our radar lately with the rumors of a mini variant of the N1. The N1 might not be as popular as many would’ve wished in areas outside of China, but that doesn’t change the fact that there is a lot of cool to this phone. Its unique swivel-camera design is indeed a smart way to help you take a selfie, and if you’re not a fan of the huge 5.9-inch Oppo N1 to do this, here’s a smaller solution, sort of.The Oppo N1 Mini has now been made official, and the only thing that’s not “mini” about this phone is its ...

Oppo makes killer phones, but it still means little for the U.S.

Per usual, all eyes are on the major Android manufacturers as the 2014 flagships come out. We’ve reviewed the One M8 twice. Despite my initial takeaway from the announcement, I ended up buying one as my personal device anyway. And Michael is in the process of reviewing the Galaxy S 5. Sony’s flagship is just around the bend, and a ...

Oppo N1 CyanogenMod Edition goes up for sale; any takers?

Oppo’s N1 is an interesting phone for a lot of reasons: a rear touch panel, that cool rotating camera… but one that’s really grabbing a big chunk of the attention is the phone’s special status as officially supporting CyanogenMod as an alternate platform. Earlier this month, we saw the regular N1 go up for sale, which fully supports users re-flashing their handsets with a CM ROM. In addition to that model, we’ve also known about
