ZTE Nubia Z11 Mini S launched in India at Rs 16,999; comes with 23MP rear camera

After keeping fans and customers waiting for a while, ZTE India has finally announced its successor to the Z11 Mini , called the Z11 Mini S at Rs 16,999. The ZTE Nubia Z11 Mini S comes with plenty of upgrades over the previous model and will be available online at Amazon starting from 21 March at 4:00PM. The handset packs in the usual budget smartphone specifications, but brings a lot more in some areas that should leave its competitors like the Redmi Note 4 in the dust. Its key features include a premium-looking all-metal finish, and that 23MP Sony IMX318 sensor at the back that is expected to deliver class-leading performance when compared to the current day budget smartphone offerings. There’s a 5.2-inch Full HD IPS LCD display on the front, along with the usual array of sensors and a 13MP camera that sits to the left of the receiver. Inside, you get a tried and tested Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 chipset clocked at 2.0GHz with an Adreno 506 GPU. The chipset is paired with 4GB RAM and 64GB of internal storage that is expandable up to 256GB using the second SIM slot. On the rear, the primary camera features of a 23MP sensor with f/2.0 aperture, PDAF, and an LED flash. You get the usual connectivity options, which include, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth v4.1, GPS and FM Radio and even NFC. There’s even a USB Type-C port at the bottom that keeps up with the times. Powering all of the above is 3,000mAh battery, which is a tiny improvement over the 2,800mAh unit on its predecessor. While the Z11 Mini could stand out only in terms of design, the Z11 Mini S now adds power, battery and much better camera to the mix which should wake up the competition.
