Nubia Z11 Max is Mi Max & Galaxy A9 phablet competitor
ZTE’s own phablet for 2016 is now official, the ZTE Nubia Z11 Max. It features a 6-inch wide 1080p FHD IPS LCD screen, Snapdragon 652 octa-core chip similar to Galaxy A9, 16MP Sony IMX298 main camera, 8MP wide-angle selfie, 4GB RAM, 64GB storage, and 4000mAh battery.
The Nubia Z11 Max comes with an Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS with Nubia UI on top.
As for the specs, the ZTE Nubia Z11 Max phablet clearly makes a competition against the premium Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro and Xiaomi Mi Max. Only that the latter has a wider 6.44-inch screen and a hexacore processor.
The Z11 Max will be available in China next week for $300 price or roughly P14,000 once released in the Philippines.

Hi Jade! Just curious bout your battery here as you mentioned that it has no fast charging whilst on the other review like GSMArena, they’re claiming that it has Fast battery charging: 83% in 30 min (Quick Charge 3.0). Can you please confirm? Thanks and best regards…
Hi Geri, after confirming with Nubia, the Max has Quick Charging 3.0 similar to Zenfone 3 Deluxe. Sorry for the error, we posted first before the full specs was revealed.
Thanks btw for your reply, appreciate it. Additional question Jade please:
– Is the unit already available in the Philippines?
– If yes, can you please advise where, what are the available colors and memories etc.
– Planning to purchase it there or maybe you can advise any online legit seller as the said brand is not available in my current work location
– And last but not the least, is it advisable to use for a gamer like me in which I prefer to have a bigger screen, better battery life etc. I am currently using 6s+ and sometimes, when watching movie(s) or even playing online games, screen is a little bit small.
Thanks in advance and god bless 🙂
No, it’s not available in the Philippines. And it’s very rare to see some online stores selling it here even the high-end ZTE.
Only option right now is to get it from Hong Kong or USA.
For a 6-inch phone, I think this does the job but you always have options like Xiaomi Mi Max Prime or Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro. Much better if you will get the Zenfone 3 Ultra.
Thanks again Jade!
Actually that will be my last and final question. Since I do always check the reviews (including yours – Manila Shaker) of the following: ZTE Nubia Z11 Max, Mi Max, A9 Pro and my most favorite one which is Zenfone 3 Ultra.
I heard that Zenfone 3 Ultra price in Philippines will be around 32-35k. Any link or suggested online seller (amazon, ebay etc.) with Zenfone 3 Ultra where it can ship to Middle East particularly Saudi Arabia? As most of the store in ebay have this shipment message ‘not able to deliver to my current location’.
Appreciate all your efforts & patience 🙂
Hi Geri, not sure since Asus only launched the Deluxe in the USA. You can try again ordering from HongKong, perhaps?
Hi Geri, it is now available thru Alexis Tan, legit online seller of Xiaomi and Oneplus phones here in PH. I already have one and experience it superb!
Hi Jade! I already have one and currently using this unit now. I am just curious if the board of the unit affects the performance of the phone? I installed CPU Z and I am a little bit confused coz official specs is Snapdragon 652 but CPU Z says board is msm8952 which is for Snapdragon 617. Snapdragon 652 should have msm8796 board. Can you make me understand this more? Thanks!
Also, would love to see you have a full review of this unit 🙂 Users here in PH are now growing. I am sure everybody will love it! Better to make a head to head review vs Xiaomi Mi Max 🙂
