nubia Z17 mini review: joins the dual-camera club in style

Is the nubia Z17 mini the best dual camera smartphone under Rs 20k? We find out in our review

Jun 29 2017 By Nitansh Rastogi

PROS

Compact and elegant design
Gorgeous display
Impressive dual cameras with a ton of features
Smooth performance

CONS

Older version of Android
Average battery life

Verdict

It looks like the nubia Z17 mini brings with it a winning formula – solid design, gorgeous display, impressive cameras, and loaded hardware – all at an attractive price tag of Rs 19,999. Our only major gripe with the smartphone is its old Android iteration, and some optimisation issues which we ran into every now and then. At this price, the handset is able to compete with the dual camera-toting Honor 8 (review) quite well, along with beating the likes of the ASUS ZenFone 3 (review) and OPPO F3 (review), in some aspects.If you are looking for a solid and compact smartphone with powerful camera capabilities under Rs 20,000, then the nubia Z17 mini should be near the top of your shortlist. However, our only reservation is about the brand`s strategy for India, considering it has launched smartphones earlier as well, but then faded away. That said, starting December 2016, the brand has launched a slew of smartphones, which suggests that nubia has aggressive plans for India. That should translate into better service support as well as regular Android updates.

So the 10.or G seems to be the cheapest and the best pick amongst all these three products. Let us see where 10.or G leads the way:
1. Processor: 10.or G has a 2.2 GHz processor whereas Mi A1 has a 2GHz and Nubia Z17 Mini is equipped with a 1.8Ghz processor.
2. Camera: 10.or G has a 13+13MP dual primary camera which seems to be at par wit Nubia Z17 but Mi A1 lags on this part.
3. Battery: 10.or G has the best battery backup with a 4000mAh battery as compared to Mi A1 (3080mAh) and Nubia Z17 Mini (2950mAh).
