The Nubia Z5S mini was announced in a number of colours but it is only this week that the white Nubia Z5S mini has bee launched.
Gizchina News of the week
Other than the colour, this version of the phone carries the same specification as the previous model including a 720p Sharp IGZO display, 2GB RAM, Snapdragon 600 processor, 13 mega-pixel rear camera, 5 mega-pixel front and support for CDMA2000, WCDMA and TD-SCDMA.
With recent price drops from Xiaomi and their Mi2S and Meizu’s MX2RE, we also believe that Nubia will have a similar price cut in store for the Nubia Z5S mini. Some reports believe the new price could be as low as 1699 Yuan ($276)!

its already available in white in aliexpress, and actually being sold for as low as 250-260$ for over a month. You really gotta do a little bit of extra research…
The S version hasn’t, and Aliexpress also have the JiaYu S2 for sale but it hasn’t even launched yet! So I guess it’s you who needs the extra research…
And you can even see the official Nubia site doesn’t even have white yet http://www.nubia.cn/z5sminilte.html
Actually it looks like (from their site) there is ZTE Nubia Z5S mini and ZTE Nubia Z5S mini LTE. So both are Z5S mini, but one with LTE the other without. Hopefully the price drop will follow quickly, as I’m about to buy a phone and the Z5S mini looks really nice.
It’s been months now that aliexpress lists clones of well-known phones before even they release. Better keep your distance from this place. Many people got tricked especially with fake Hongmis
Sorry, I bought one for my brother, CNY1499 a month ago. Could it be I’m missing something?
The is the Nubia Z5S Mini http://www.nubia.cn/z5sminilte.html The regular mini is 1499 not the S with LTE
Yeah, that makes sense! No LTE for 1499. I must say the screen of that device is simply AWESOME, that IZGO panel really impressed me. And is a sleek and sexy mf! 😛
Lel, Z5s i available for 249$ internationally
As said, not the LTE version. But still, where did you get that price? All the ones I saw were ~40USD higher. Any pointers would be helpful, thanks!

My next purchase
I officially importing smartphones from china, and will really disagree from the prices you guys tell here.
Every time the prices I get from local markets of shenzhen are far more higher than those mentioned here, thats ok when i buy from retail shops
but even the official outlets of well known brands like jiayu sell at higher prices
for example i was talking to jiayu official outlet person for G2S and he gave me price of 600RMB.
Why is this so, waiting for your answer Andi.
They sell to you at a higher price to make a profit? The prices we write are the prices for the Chinese retail prices or the international price, we clearly write this in the articles. We either get the prices from the official websites or are told by the companies themselves. I never quote prices from the retail stores here as it wouldn’t be much point.
