Dynamic range is a little limited in some shots, with its automatically-triggered HDR mode not always kicking in when required. We observed some white balance and autofocus irregularities, too, with varying colorcasts rendered across different outdoor...

The nubia Z11 has quite a few things going for it – sexy, bezel-less design, interesting software features, smooth performance and decent battery life. Our one big gripe with it is the camera image quality, but hopefully, that can be improved via...

The Nubia Z11 fails where Nubia phones have traditionally excelled: the camera. However, it's still a really fast smartphone with above average battery life, and what is arguable the best design of 2016. It's a viable alternative to the OnePlus 3T and...

At the moment, if you're anywhere except Germany, Spain, Italy, or India (where the Nubia is officially sold), the answer is no. Even in the U.K, where our test phone has operated without a problem on a 4G LTE network, it's not worth importing one....

The Z11 is a solid flagship offering from Nubia with some interesting camera features, great build quality, and a stunning bezel-less display. While it may be a compelling option for some, there are plenty of Android options available at this point in...

Nubia really has impressed me with what they can build. The Nubia Z11 is a premium flagship phone that would look impressive if seen at the local mobile phone stores along with the likes of the latest Huawei, Sony, Samsung and Apple devices.They've also...

Nubia Z11 is one good-looking smartphone with a punchy hardware let down by a not-so-refined software experience. But that doesn’t mean this is a bad phone by any means. Surely, it stands to compete against the OnePlus 3T, and loses only by a few...

Earlier this evening Andi was on Facebook Live with the Nubia Z11. Rewatch the video here!Before anyone begins watching this video please keep in mind that the first minute or so is of complete silence as Andi was messing around with the WIFI rather...

If you're not in the U.S. and can get LTE support for this phone, this is most certainly an excellent phone for the money. It's going up against the likes of the One Plus and it can hold its own there.Nubia Z11$487.99MSRP(USD)4.5 Out of 5Nailed...
