ZTE Nubia Z5 goes official: 5-inch 1080p lean Android beast

The ZTE Nubia Z5 has leaked here and there, and by now the device is far from being a secret. Still, there is nothing like an official unveiling and confirmation of the beastly 5-inch 1080p smartphone by Chinese ZTE, and we’ve got just that today.

The ZTE Nubia Z5 is a device that stands its ground against heavyweights like the HTC Droid DNA, yet it is less expensive.

And it’s forming to be one of many awesome new devices coming from China. Another phone maker, Oppo is bringing its similarly high-end Find 5 even outside of Asia. As to the Nubia Z5, it will launch in China in January 2013, but it still remains to be seen whether it will make it outside Asia.

Here is a quick rundown of the Nubia Z5 specifications:

- 5 inch IPS display with 1920 x 1080 pixels
- Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean
- 13MP rear camera with flash, 2MP front-facing camera
- 1.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro (APQ8064)
- 2GB of RAM
- HSPA+, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0
- 32GB internal storage
- 3,000 2,300 mAh battery

All of that is packaged into a relatively lightweight 126 gram device. The smartphone will also be just as thin as the iPhone 5 at 7.6 mm. All of that comes for an off contract price of around $555. Juicy, isn’t it?
