The Nubia Z18 mini was announced back on April 11. But its regular variant has not been uncovered yet. The phone has already passed through TENAA that simply means the phone will hit the market in a month or so. Today, the manufacturer published a poster with an interesting phrase of ‘Full-Screen 3.0.’ many think it’s about the upcoming Nubia Z18.

As for the former, we have heard the device will be powered by a Snapdragon 845 chip. Today, the alleged Z18 appeared on the Master Lu benchmark confirming this rumor.
