Nubia is an arm of the ZTE franchise and they've done some excellent work in the high-end markets of recent, with their Nubia Z17 posing an unbridled challenge to flagships from more established manufacturers. The company isn't dedicated to the high-end market, however, and their latest release is a testament to that. The new Nubia M2 Play follows in the footsteps of other devices in that series, offering lower mid-range specifications at a decent price.
The M2 Play is powered by the Snapdragon 435, a processor about on par with the MT6750 on the M2 Lite, and weaker than the Snapdragon 625 on the standard M2. It sports a 5.5" HD display—which is rather disappointing, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage, 13MP rear camera, 5MP selfie shooter, front-mounted fingerprint reader, and a 3000mAh battery.
Build-wise, it features an integrated metal body, with a thickness of 7.9mm. It will also ship with the Nubia-skinned Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box.
Prices are unknown at the moment but we'll be sure to keep you updated.
