ZTE nubia Z9 Max - User Reviews

  • they put a spy trogen in mine so root it but first reformat it first and what u get

  • The stand-by time in the battery section of the specifications is... interesting?

  • You won't get anything out of the stock apps. Download some similar apps, or best idea if you're able to do it, change the rom

  • Great phone but I can't get most of the apps in English especially the web. Any suggestion or help will be highly appreciated.

  • As far as the LED thing goes i think you can download an app for that and you can get the LED noti. For all apps. And i don't think you can move apps to sd cards. Not because the phone cant but bc sd cards are meant to store you DATA and not really anything else

  • What is neo safe? Where to find it?

  • This phone is the real deal. super battery, super clarity, excellent cameras, excellent features, but too many Chinese apps. my samsung friends envy this

  • Go to neo safe, then once it opens, swipe the screen to the right. drwa the pattern/ password then access your porn there.

  • 3Gb RAM for Snapdragon 810 2GB RAM for Snapdragon 615

  • Someone please could help with finding private gallery? Seriously dont wanna loose the pictures but cant find them...

  • 1.Screen time out page hang out for 2 time so I have to wipe and factory reset. 2.Power button isn't fit after four months.. Thanks

  • this fone ram 2gb or 3gb

  • From what I know , SD cards and Sims cards always have different slots.

  • I'm Totally Disappointed With This Phone, You Can Get A Shipped One And Better Function!!!

  • its cost so much high wht ever phone is good

  • With almost same features to Z9 Mini (bought both with Max 2G RAM version), same batere capacity but +NFC, larger screen and more powerful CPU make this phone draining batere faster. If you don't need NFC, Z9 Mini is better option. Or choose Z9 instead (not Max/Mini version).

  • Is it available in pakistan? Does it use sim2 slot for sd card or there is separate slot

  • Hi,does the chinese version of Z9max will work in India as I read somewhere the 4G network / bands are different in both countries. Also what could be other issues if I want to use the chinese version in India

  • Damn... Can't believe it was ever possible. So sorry for you. Do you have plans - what to do next?

  • Beware of www.nubiamobileshop.com ! I bought a Nubia from them and they sent the wrong phone and refused for a long time to accept this; even with photographic proof. I returned it (naive...but out of good faith) but they didn't return the money nor the correct phone. It took PayPal to return the money. How long did it take? 3 months to get my money back as the company kept using delaying tactics. The 'company' kept sending 'we will update you' etc. etc. E-Mails but did nothing; eventually ignoring even PayPal. On their About Us page, they state "Nubia Mobile is a subsidiary of ZTE Mobile Corporation". According to ZTE, no, they're not. PS The English menu was badly-written which, for such a massive company as ZTE, present in English-speaking countries, is confusing unless you consider there's the possibility it's not a genuine product.

  • great phone bought it after doing a search of phones on this site, and it has the best of everything. Charger exploded, because i was using it in a UK port, but other than that I can't fault it really great and way better than my previous phone an iphone6.

  • Zupa: of course you can't move apk to SD card and it has nothing to do with the phone. It's a change Google made some years ago as some apps malfunctioned as a result whereas users didn't educate themselves enough about this...

  • 1. Has led notifications 2. Can not move apk to sd card

  • Saw it earlier at lazada Philippines selling around $380.

  • Hi guys... those who have good experience about this mobile i would like to clarify sum question regarding it.. 1. Does it has LED Notification? and do the led works for whats app and facebook when we get msg..? 2. Can we move apps to SD Card? 3. Does it supports OTG?.... Plz let me know abt these three options it will be more helpfull.. thank u... :)

  • Is it going to be available in the philippines?..if so, on what price range is it going to belong?..i'm totally interested with this phone, its amazing..thanks :)

  • black mobail

  • Should add Dedicated DAC, AMP options in spec long ago!

  • Talktime of 3G is 40h,how it is possible,difficult to believe.

  • this phone have led notification?

  • No, you can buy this only $575.

  • Cheap flagship..

  • Think again before you purchasing other smartphone. Try to buy this device, you can have this monsterphone only $575. It's really cheap smartphone, but the performance of this smartphone is very great. 59,000 on antutu benchmark, you can test by yourself after bought thi smartphone or you can see the review on youtube.

  • Oh my God.. This is the monster Flagship. :o

  • plzzzzzzzzzzz... release in india as soon as possible........i want this beast....

  • Well, it has been confirmed that the phone comes in two versions. A Snapdragon 615(2GB ram) and a Snapdragon 810(3GB ram). The SD615 retails for 2000yuan($320) whereas SD810 retails for 2500 yuan($400).Kindly note prices are for China only. You guys can check on the official Nubia website. www.nubia.cn/nubiaphone.php Just make sure the version you are buying before you make the purchase.

  • in Aliexpress the phone is sold for 490$

  • I was quoting the retail price in China. It's 2500RMB, so that's around $400.

  • this phone is up to 700 us dollar.

  • It seems you are correct. I knew that the Z9 max was going to be shipped with a snapdragon 810 however a couple of days back I saw the official ZTE nubia distributors webpage revise the price($320) and specs(SD615) of the device. However I just revisited the webpage again and they have again revised the specs to snapdragon 810 and the retail price to $400.

  • (1) Hi some of yourcomments are wrong. infrared is very useful feature in smartphone with this you can control any tv or midia device (2)16GB memory is not enough becaus half of the memory is used to install system apps

  • You are talking about the Z9 Mini get your phones right

  • Kindly revise the specs of the device. Z9 max will now ship with Snapdragon 615. The price has also been reduced due to the change in specs and now retails for around $320 in China.

  • are kidding me? You're just posting unnecessary comment to catch our attention. Don't post again just ask yourself.

  • Would like to have this phone but the paltry battery is a deal breaker for me, what with Lenovo coming out with a 4000 mAh battery for their K80 phone with similar specs.

  • I hope you really know what you wrote there.

  • Is it has a gorilla glass protection?

  • everything looks good accept the no removable battery

  • Where this phone came from? Made in? Manufacturer & etc.!? Lastly,what makes you think this phone is better than the others? Anyone knows? Thanks!

  • the specifications are not correctly update. the camera should be 21 and the dimensions are not 100% correct.

  • Their are rasons for this phone not having said features. Here are the main reasons: 1) Phones are tiny devices, so a QHD screen looks almsot identical to a 1080p screen to the naked eye. This gives no reason for it to be QHD other than boasting rights. 2) The fact that they have a battery such as this in such a thin, 7.9mm body is amazing all by itself. Asking for bigger would be pointless because it will only cause the phone to become bulky and thta is not the trend at this current period of time. 3) It has 16 GB of internal memory AND extendable memory. Why would you ask for more? You can have up to 124 GB and you are asking for more!? Just get an SD Card and go from there. 4) Waterproofing is an unnecessary luxury that is unused by most people today. If you want somethig that is waterproof, then just get the Sony Xperia Z3 since you seem awfully content on comparing this phone to the Z4. 5) Infrared? Why would you need that for a phone? To let it connect to your TV? Have it charge without a cord? Infrared is so meaningless that the fact that you brought it up makes you sound childish with your dreams of your perfect match. Infrared should never be used on phones since it is just something that makes us as humans lazier and is a waste of money for the manufacturer. I hope these answers helped quench your thirst for more features. Learn more about how phones are made and what limitations there are for it and the producer before your dreams go out of control.

  • somebody plz tell me... 1)when will be released in india...??? 2)is any information about released date....???

  • I hopperto see more featuers in aphone like that for example 1.QHD screen reslution. 2.Bigger battery . 3.More memry more than 16 giga bite. 4.Water proof phone. 5.Inferred .

  • is this phone support dual sim with sd card? some phone provide slot 2 to put sim card or sd card.. if we put sim, then we cant put memory card and vice versa..

  • dual stands for able to handle two sim e.g if u got sim from verizon sim and at&t u can insert both of them.if u like to call from verizon just choose sim 1 or 2 for both the network...

  • I think it is grreat phone

  • dual stand by means that you if you are having a phone call on SIM1, then you can't get another call on SIM2 at the same time

  • what is means "DUAL STAND BY"?

  • Let the phone get released first.

  • nubia store or jd. is out of stock btw

  • in india where can i buy....??? what is price tag....???

  • Where can i buy this phone. Someone please help me. I really want it.

  • Looks better then an Isucks 6 and is better

  • Looks like an iPhone

  • even the wallpaper seems to be imitating the iPhone wallpapers, especially the red rose one!!! :)

  • ZTE tried to copy the design of Apple iPhone 6 series. But they have to be unique in some dimension.

  • Very ugly phone.

  • Lovely phone..any 1 tell about ZTE Nubia Z9 Max.

  • copy of Xperia Z series design

  • so what!

  • i absolutley love the design to this phone. What a beautiful divice

  • "Display Type Capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors" it says this on the Specifications

  • Wow. great design :)

  • lol are you blind? microsd up to 128gb

  • Sooooo Sony, But really nice. i am really fond of Omni Balance designs.

  • read again! it has card slot up to 128gb

  • really how old are you 90? jajaja a mean thats question was really unnesesary

  • i has card slot up to 128 jajaja so thsi phone rules

  • I think ZTE Nubia Z9 too will run Windows Phone 10. In this case this device should be renamed to ZTE Nubia Z10 to suit its OS.

  • Yet again they get it wrong - NO card slot . What planet are these designers from ?

  • Not at all!

  • No.

  • touchscreen?Lol what year is it,2010 or something?No dear,this phone is control by mind.Welcome to 2015,where telekinesis it's part of our everyday activities including controlling the phone.No need to touch them anymore.

  • lolololololololololol ofc not can't you see the qwerty keyboard?

  • Is this phone touchscreen?

  • It's got giant bezels like the iPhone 6. Nobody wants that.

  • so no one gave a damn about this phone eh?

  • Good specs, now if they price it right!!
