i wonder if this will get a global rom, because chinese roms on nubia are disaster
If it has global ROM, this smartphone is a great choice. Only the battery is too small, it should be 4.000 mA at least, it’s a pity.
Why did Nubia get rid of the microSD expansion?? For ppl like me, who use their phone as their mp3-player, this is a must!
