Nubia Z11 Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Deepak Dhingra]()
Verdict
The nubia Z11 has quite a few things going for it - sexy, bezel-less design, interesting software features, smooth performance and decent battery life. Our one big gripe with it is the camera image quality, but hopefully, that can be improved via software updates. All said and done, the nubia Z11 is a worthy option for its asking price, but it seems to be overshadowed by its nemesis - the OnePlus 3 and 3T siblings, which just come across as better all rounders. That said, if you do decide to opt for a nubia Z11 as your daily driver, you shouldn’t be disappointed as long as you’re aware w...

Pros

The 5.5-inch IPS LCD display isn’t Quad HD, and sticks to 1080p. It's quite sharp and responsive though, and the colours look nice and very saturated. We never faced any issue with sunlight legibility or viewing angles. The hue and saturation can be customised via display settings to suit your preferences. Of course, the standout feature about the display is that it appears to stretch from edge to edge. Apart from the lack of bezels, it even integrates a bunch of edge screen features. More on that later.

Shoots, and falters

With a 16MP sensor featuring OIS and PDAF at the rear, and an 8MP shooter at front, the Z11 is right up there with the best of the bunch in terms of camera prowess, at least on paper. The camera app is quite loaded and crammed with features too, including gimmicky modes like multi exposure, light painting and clone. Electronic Aperture lets you change the aperture, which could help you get some motion blur in your images when you’re shooting subjects in motion. There’s a very handy Pro mode as well, which lets you change various shooting parameters.

Edge and edgier
+
The Z11 runs Marshmallow with the brand’s own nubia UI on top. As with most Chinese skins and alternate ROMs, the skin carries a look which is very different from stock Android. It’s loaded with tons of features too, though thankfully, bloatware has been kept to a minimum. There’s no app drawer, but you get quite a few features including support for gestures and motion.

A performer for sure
+
With the powerful Snapdragon 820 chip sitting under its hood, and an industry-leading 6 gigs of RAM, smooth performance is a given… and the nubia Z11 delivers exactly that. Everything from multitasking to running intensive games and apps is a breeze on this phone, and overheating is kept in check too. The 64GB internal storage (about 52GB accessible) is ample, and you can use the hybrid SIM slot to add more if you want. The connectivity options are standard, and include the all-important 4G VoLTE support.
