Back in March ZTE formally announced the Z9 Mini, a slightly smaller and more budget-friendly alternative to ZTE’s Nubia Z9 flagship. Now the Nubia Z9 Mini is making its way over to India, which is noteworthy in the fact that this is the very first time the Nubia brand has ever been sold in the country.
The Nubia Z9 Mini will be offered exclusively through Amazon India and at a price of just Rs. 16,999 (or about $267). So what do you get for the money? The Z9 Mini is powered by a 64-bit Snapdragon 615 with 2GB RAM. Other specs include a 5-inch 1080p display, 16GB storage, microSD, a16MP main cam, 8MP front cam, dual-SIM, LTE, a 2900 mAh battery, and Android 5.0 running the Nubia skin.
While many brands only over a limited number of devices for sale when launching in India, the Z9 Mini is fully in stock now for your ordering pleasure. The big question is whether or not the Z9 Mini will be able to compete with other similarly priced and spec’d devices available in India.
So how about it, anyone planning on picking one up? If not, what similarly priced devices would you personally recommend over this for Indian consumers looking for a solid mid-range handset?
