Nubia X avoids the problem of notching using two screens

ZTE's former arm, Nubia, introduced a brand new smartphone in China, featuring some unusual features: a dual-screen design and two fingerprint sensors. The device known as Nubia X belongs to the flagship segment and is powered by appropriate hardware components such as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset, coupled with 6GB or 8GB of RAM. Nevertheless, although the number of screens and fingerprint sensors has doubled compared to most flagship phones, the Nubia X is available for purchase in China for a starting price of 3299 yuan (473 dollars) . More importantly, this camera seems to be the original manufacturer's solution for designing the polarizing notch of the display.

Nubia is no stranger to the challenge with unique design features and the latest Nubia X is certainly different from most other devices on the market. Although there were other dual-screen handsets like the YotaPhone series, these particular models launched by the Russian manufacturer associated an LCD or AMOLED IPS display with a panel always in grayscale resembling that of the original. An electronic book reader. In contrast, the Nubia X is equipped with a 6.26-inch main screen with a 19: 9 aspect ratio and a resolution of 2,280 by 1,080, coupled with a 5.1-inch diagonal OLED subpanel and framing at a lower resolution of 1,520 by 720. The secondary panel can host a number of dynamic wallpapers, but its main role is to provide independence enthusiasts a way to take pictures. Specifically, the Nubia X avoids display notch problems by dropping the front camera in favor of thin framing and a 93.6% screen-to-body ratio, while using the main dual camera combo as the main unit. selfie in conjunction with the secondary system. screen. The fingerprint sensors, meanwhile, are located on the left and right sides of the phone and the manufacturer has included two units for convenience, allowing users to use their favorite side to unlock the phone and hold, regardless of the display used oriented towards.

Both cameras have a resolution of 16 and 24 megapixels, storage configurations vary from 64GB to 128GB / 256GB and the device runs Android 8.1 Oreo behind the custom skin of the Nubia UI while being powered by a battery of 3 800 mAh. The base model is launched in China for 3,299 yuan ($ 473), while the high-end variant costs 4,299 yuan ($ 616). However, the device will likely be manufactured in smaller quantities and will not be marketed in the Western Hemisphere. Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see if other manufacturers will see this approach as a solution to the problem of the display notch and will borrow a page from Nubia's game manual. Probably not, because of higher manufacturing costs.
