ZTE nubia X6 - User Reviews

  • It also happened to me

  • Good honest review, I'd get it as only mobile with dual sim and hdmi out but very pricey is a concern considering problems you mentioned,. thanks again :)

  • Its not perfect but was enjoying my phone until my dual sim is only reading one sim card all of a sudden. I tried everything I could think of. Post something on XDA "http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xd­a-assist/zte-nubia-x6-dual-sim-problem-t3168552&­quot;. Can anyone help me?

  • do not root you need not google play store I do not use it too just connect to internet search for 1 mobile market.. it is an apk app same play store install 1 mobile market it works like google store

  • I allready would by the phone for just to get the battery , it's 4250 mAh ! Other good specs: * 3Gb ram and * 128Gb internal *Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac (many options is real +) *Dual SIM Bad specs: *32Gb max external (some allready have 2TB max external) *LCD (OLED has only few yers of screen/panel life but it takes alot less electricity and is much petter in picture quality) *Size 6.44 inches (a bit too big, i undestand it'll be fatter/thiker but not larger :S)

  • Download and install "Kingo Root" software and switch your phone to USB debugging mode in Setting/Developer options/debugging mode. Then connect(in USB) your phone to PC, Hi-suite mode. After that wait for few minutes. It will do automatically.

  • then what did you buy dual sim phone ? LG or SONY OR Samsung . what do you recommend ?

  • Saw this online, hope it helps......still considering buying the x6. What's your opinion?

  • I just have this phone for now. sadly、I cant find the play store preinstall app on it. Would U mind of teaching me how to root this Nubia X6？

  • no news? i don't find gold version, 64 nor 128gb version! only white 32gb version are avalaible!!

  • Thanks for your review, been wanting this phone for a long time but now I'm may have second thoughts or purchase one (hope for the best) and wait for another 6.4" phone with better specs and performance.

  • Asked a Chinese friend to buy it online for me 2 months ago. Rooted it, installed Google Play (gapps) and removed all ZTE bloatwares, and just installed my apps like Greenify, etc. to help with battery. Here are some comments: LTE/4G: Tested working in Taiwan and Singapore (both sim slots); though only 1 sim can be active at any time. Signal reception (including Wifi) is acceptable though it is not the best. Camera: Average only, Samsung Note 3 definitely better, iPhone 6/6+ way, way better, especially in low lights than this, ZTE still has a long, long way to catch up in this area. Screen: Good, acceptable but colors not as good as Note 3 (personal preference). However brightness control range is not as wide compared to LG G-Flex or Note 3 (testing using built-in control and Lux app). Battery: Not bad but not so good either for a 4250mAh battery. Main culprit I suspect is the screen sucking too much juice. I have to use a few apps to kill background services, etc. but mostly it can last a day for me (12hrs - 16hrs) though I expected much more. GPS: A bit slower and less accurate compared to LG G-Flex and Note 3 (running Waze). Built Quality: Good BUT a tiny screw on the left side dropped out! Now I got a hole on a brand new phone... Still some way to go for ZTE to improve on this. Size: I've used Note, Note 2 and Note 3 & LG G-Flex so this is expected. 6.4" is not too big for me and it fits into my back pocket nicely. In fact this is 1 of the main reasons I got this phone! Last but not least there's some quirks that changes setting that I can't seem to explain. Eg. I set phone to go Sleep profile from 23:00 - 07:00 and it works. However after I turn off it still goes to silent (but not Sleep profile)! Weird! Sometimes Sync will be turned off by itself also. I only set my phone to read from Google contact list but this phone sometimes will show Skype contact list by itself! Still trying to figure out what's happening. Conclusion: You need to root the phone to get Google Play, Google apps, etc. If you are not comfortable with this then don't get this phone. Also camera performance is not as good and it's bugging me as I need to carry another phone to take good pics, another major let down. Now I'm looking to replace it with another better dual sim, probably the branded ones from LG, Sony or Samsung, etc. No doubt the Chinese can put all the highest specs hardware but the execution and finesse is still 1 or 2 generations behind the competitors.

  • Does it include the google play store?

  • big space... but y no coming malaysian market

  • Please tell me,are pictures with rear camera perfect or not?

  • malaysia x msuk k ?

  • Sorry, no microSD slot. But built-in 32 GB should be enough, though.

  • Does this phone have micro sd slot or is it a typo in the specifications?... (Some other web pages says it doesn't have.)

  • I just curious, where can i able to buy this phone in malaysia?

  • It's available. But you can't walk into the store and buy it. You need to leave your name and go on a waiting list, but you won't have much luck now that they are stopping production. Better to buy z7 unless you want to try taobao but the sellers don't even have stock.

  • It's sold out there anyways. You can only get it with a reservation they called me and I had one week to go to the store and purchase the phone. It's sold out on their site and jd. Com try taobao

  • I just got the phone last week after waiting four months on a waiting list in shenzhen. This phone is being discontinued due to a marketing failure and the z7 Is being pushed ahead. Honestly I got the phone for the big screen and the design and the dual Sims. Everything works nicely the phone lasts a long time on battery. Bought for 3100 rmb they upped the price from the original pre-order price of 2999.

  • bought it from where

  • Anybody knows when ZTE will release firmware upgrade or KitKat ROM?

  • Lamine, Do you have an Nubia X6, if so can you tell us your opinion on the pros and cons......also if the dual sim is working???

  • wants same features phone with max 145mm phone length. Front camera of 8mp will be good enough...

  • want same features phone with max 145mm phone length. Front camera of 8MP will be good enough...

  • You just have to order and it will come. that's what I did.

  • When will this phone get to Nigeria. It looks impressive

  • reviw

  • Review?

  • That's 13 mp front cam? true?

  • That's 13 mp front cam? True?

  • When we will it get to Nigeria? It looks very good.

  • sure would be great to know why the specs move around between models of the same mfg to see cdma 2000 vs. 2100; why Some HSPDA frequencies change between models ; What countries work with each frequency range would be great. Why this list here on Z6 is different on the new Z7 ?

  • Where to buy? I found it in (http://www.nubia.cn/product.php?id=357) it's cheap but in chinese language

  • we can purchase it from aliexpress

  • anyone know if the version already came with 3gb 128 gb of ram and where I can find

  • It is dual sim 4G LTE, check out this link, and it's comments, dual sim should be enabled in July once ZTE/Nubia update the firmware to allow this.

  • it's not even anywhere in china. only fake / knock-offs show up online. I went to all their official shops,it's not available..even new released lenovo phones are all not available in china

  • Can someone confirm, is it 'Dual SIM' + 'LTE'?

  • U r rite

  • this is a relatively new phone even in China. sadly, no official announcement of its international launching and availability just yet. but very impressive piece of equipment nonetheless.

  • Been searching for a review since i heard about this phone!

  • need review on this phone

  • Does it support Arabic language ?

  • Does it support English language?

  • Is your phone dual sim?

  • Is your phone dual sim?

  • R u sure buddy?

  • Any one got it in Malaysia?

  • They're wrong. No card slot, but this phone does come in 32/64/128GB internal storage configurations.

  • All in one

  • the phone is very good camera and specs but the touch screen feels plastic

  • Sorry guy I didn't get the shop phone number but I sow it early last month.

  • then it has everything i want from a phone, the battery seems pretty strong, dunno if it has slow motion on camera but if it doesnt i dont mind that much. I think i might order from liaow.com but dunno if its really trustworthy.

  • The official specs are here: Translate in Chrome or other and look under the "Parameters" tab. Infra-red is listed!

  • No it doesn't. Go here using Chrome and translate: Once translated there's a section called "Parameters". Under memory card is says "Not Supported".

  • Work on US LTE? Google Apps pre-installed?

  • Can someone confirm infrared blaster please? And FM reciver and expandable storage? Different sources have different claims about these specs.

  • No satisfaction huh..

  • What LTE bands does this support?

  • Great mobile. I bought it last monday. I cant see any error of this mob. Its big display is very useful. Touch is owsam-butter smooth. Internet 4g/3g has lightining speed. Bettery backup is wery strong. This is the future of smartphones. Thanks ZTE!

  • I must say THIS IS D PHONE !!! man its got everything .. it will beat the hell out of other phones. Its specs are simply brilliant... i am deeply touched with the front camera.. man its awesome !!! Only reservation is OS, if only it had OS like Windows OS, iOS, Tizen or Linux. as Andriod OS is too much laggy I own Samsung Galaxy Note III, Lumia 920 and Iphone 5S. Application wise GIII and 5S out rules Windows but performance wise iOS amd Windows out rules Andriod. and security wise iOS out rules both Andriod and Windows. Wish these specs would be on iOS devices. BUT still ZTE you rock, i am selling Note III and Windows and buying this spectacular device !!

  • You got the contact number for the store selling this in Puching?

  • So far this phone is monster, look at the battrey, super power!

  • will this nubia x6 sell in Malaysia market? when can I get it in Malaysia market? I am really wish to have it...

  • 4250mah battery what a phone. I would to own this mobile

  • This is going to be very tough competition between zte Nubia x6 and the oneplus one........

  • On gsmarena says it has Infrared but ive search around and i cant seem to find any infrared feacture elsewhere, can anyone else comfirm this ?

  • Are you mad this trounces the oppo n1

  • Handset is Great But They have copied Oppo N1 ..They Are The First Manufacturer of This Kind of Phone

  • This would be a great phone. When it will be available in the indian market?? All other manufacturers should stop making the old hardware configuration phones, they should take lesson from ZTE. They (ZTE) r experimenting new things. Good job done ZTE.....

  • Great Phone. When available in Indonesia? and Pricing locally?

  • Does it really have a microSD card slot on ZTE Nubis X6 especially on the 32/64/128 GB verients.

  • Oh! Unbelievable! 13MP front camera. Zte, i haven't seen this before from eny other manufacturer!

  • Interesting!!!

  • Damn straight.

  • I rate this must have beast 10/10 in everything. What else do we need :)? Really 128 GB with 64 GB micro SD expandable. Snapdragon 801 with 3 GB RAM. And then monstrous 6.44 inch, the best and fine perfect sized phablet for today. I own galaxy note 3 LTE and i feel this set a bit smaller.I am seriously planning to buy this device now.

  • I think its about RMB2999 right now it will be USD482. When looking in china online shopping is USD515 exclude shipping fees. But its a big phone compare to my Nubia Z5s and I'm satisfied with it and their camera quality is much better than any phone in the market right now as far as I knew.

  • WHY NO LTE SPECS? Does it have LTE 700, 1700, 2100 for AT&T and T-Mobile USA?

  • Gsmarena must definitely review this phone! It's a gorgeous all in one beast! No other phone out there is like it. Chipset, cameras, internal memory, down to battery is the beast! GSMARENA MUST REVIEW THIS!

  • GSM Arena... Please review this product.

  • Great looking phone. Can't wait to see the pricing locally. This is a lot like how the Z Ultra should have been. Slimmer bezel and a lot bigger battery. Great job ZTE! :o)

  • It will be Afghanistan

  • Y2999 .. not that cheap MYR 1666 !

  • I agree with you......can't wait for hands-on reviews!

  • I think this phone's battery will last better than your phone because it use snapdragon 801 chipset, the latest chipset that known for its frugal battery use.

  • Do it has Arabic language ?

  • i will buy a 128gb version for sure as this phone is a monster.it has everything i need from a phone

  • dual sim and LTE . is it true ?????

  • 13mp front cam.... excellent for selfie addicts... mostly girls will buy this.... :3

  • I would like to know something more on prices, especially with the 128 GB - 3GB

  • this is amazing!!! 13 mp front cam!!!

  • Specification Given are very good. 128 gb, 13mp/13mp Camera, Battery 4250mah. Might not need of power bank.

  • If the specifications mentioned are right... This is a real beast and flagship of the year for sure. 128 GB??? 13 M Secondary... am I dreaming 10/10/10

  • when can I get it in Malaysia??

  • Where can I buy one?

  • Thats the dumbest thing ive ever heard. Every piece of tech has at least one part manufactured or produced in the Asian market...

  • Gsm, battery test please..... tq.

  • do you knw china brand doesnt mean the quality is bad??

  • As you already know this is Chinese brand quality is bad .

  • be greatest phone if release ,,,, so how about quality,, price is cheap, 128 gb internal ,,and 13mp front cam is just amazing for this,,,

  • front cam 13 mp cant believe this.

  • sadly its lack of a 4K recording but it`s i think ZTE won`t miss it in such great featured phone :D

  • Design - 3, Features - 10, Performance - 10 :) it`s an amazing phone, i really like G Pro 2 but compared this G Pro 2 is a child :D :D but design is holy sh** :D

  • 4250mAh for 6.44" screen is not sufficient, even my Xolo Q3000 has 5.7" IPS FHD screen(386PPI) & 4000mAH battery.

  • 13 MP rear camera and WHAT? A 13 MP FRONT CAMERA?? Is that a typo or Am I missing something?

  • Which product?

  • Nice!

  • holy @#@$%! this is a behemoth!

  • this phone is a monster ! look at the front facing camera !

  • It looks good, but it is too big.

  • this is cracking punch from zte....good going

  • 13MP front camera?? WOW
