ZTE Nubia Z9 Max And Nubia Z9 Mini Gets Slight Refresh

ZTE must have taken a look at the half year old Nubia Z9 Max and Nubia Z9 Mini and decided that both devices are due for an upgrade. However, the overall design has not seen a radical departure from its general design, and neither has most of the hardware specifications seen a change. What then, has undergone an update along the way?

For starters, the handsets will now be known as the ZTE Nubia Z9 Max Elite Edition and the ZTE Nubia Z9 Mini Elite Edition, where promotional flyers of both devices have already leaked out in China. The Nubia Z9 Max Elite would pick up a fingerprint sensor that is located in its side-mounted power button, and will also see the introduction of a USB Type-C port to boot, but everything else would be similar to its predecessor.

As for the Nubia Z9 Mini Elite, the only change would be the addition of 1GB of RAM to bring the total to 3GB of RAM, with eye pattern recognition too. No idea if they will be available for purchase outside of China or not.
