RIP to one of the most promising smartphone companies out there. These guys have made some truly unique creations in their time and the phone in this pic is probably no exception. Better than all those hundreds of copy cat brands out there. A big loss to the world.

    Considering ZTE froze all major operations, it might not go as planned...

      Sara, 10 May 2018Nubia is independent, is not banned, ZTE owns around 48% of the company so Nubia is not subsid... moreNubia is a ZTE company and all the components aquisition is common. So, they are in trouble too

        Zoom in on the bottom left of the picture. You see a chin. However, it u change the exposure and contrast of the image you can see it has no notch, so the camera is probably going to be placed in the chin like the Xiaomi Mi Mix phones.

            Clickbait, you can't see the bottom and it probably does have a bezel

              AnonD-758594, 10 May 2018ZTE just announced that they will suspend all operations. I doubt that this phone will arriveNubia is independent, is not banned, ZTE owns around 48% of the company so Nubia is not subsidiary of ZTE. Next time instead of vomit sh** here try to inform yourself better.

                  Beautiful and seems that it doesn't has notch. I don't care about curved screen because I always use a thick case to protect the phone. I even don't use the selfie camera, it could be amazing if comes with underdisplay fingerprint sensor.

                    A total lack of bezels.. I expected the biggies to do something similar but I know the difference between expectations and reality. This is by far, the most interesting thing in a really long time when we are almost everyday bombarded with phones launching with ugly notches. Vivo Apex was a great concept. Wish ZTE the best to pull it off, if its confirmed. I like the curves, it gives aesthetics to the overall design and the display.

                      If you edit the image you see a horizontal bezelline, so probably no notch.

                        the tech nerd, 10 May 2018ZTE can't use Android and snapdragon processors right? Android can, since is open source platform, but can't Google services (Play store etc). For China market Google services is not a problem, but for the rest of the world..
                        Yes Qualcomm is also US company, Dolby.. Thats on ban. Trade war continued beetwen these two countries, ZTE just does not jave luck.. :D

                          phone looks hot
                          curves were nice to see, but not to use.
                          these phones need so much effort, keeping them safe

                            YoloBS, 10 May 2018But i thought they can't use usa product. Like android or snapdragon! Anyways its good to se... moreZTE has since last autumn a little less than 50% of NUBIA stocks, that's why they're probably not falling under the sanctions

                                    ZTE should make a deal with Huawei for their Kirin chipsets. It can trade blows with Snapdragon & the future seems bright for the chipset.

                                      Curved screen on sides is biggest gimmick to make everyone believe it to be bezeless. You should check out at the end of the curved screen, it will have bezels, which we don't see immediately. It gives us bezeless impression since bezels are actually moved away from your direct view.

                                      Some amount of bezels are required for structural reasons.
                                      Also bezeless handsets are ergonomically unsuitable for operations, and it is thumb that takes the biggest hit. Moreover, bezeless doesn't make much difference in improving the efficiency of the phone.
