How to get the mobile screen it occupies the entire front of the device independently of the notch popularized by Apple. That is the challenge that faces the leading manufacturers of mobile. The first one that gave an answer was OPPO with the Find X, a phone that achieves a 93% screen on the front panel thanks to a novel mechanical system that retracts the cameras every time that must be unlocked, or when the user wants to make a photograph. Has been so good acceptance Xiaomi -Mix, 3-, Honor-Magic 2 – and Lenovo -Z5 Pro – what have been copied with a small difference: instead of being automatic, the system to discover the cameras is manual.
Now, She goes a step further to bring the variable up to 95%. And it does so with another curious method: in the Nubia X, which will begin shipping in China next month, removes the front camera and all the sensors of that panel -just leaving a small LED light for the notifications – and adds a second screen of 5.1 inches and resolution HD in the rear, which is where the dual camera. Unlikely, yes, but also effective.

This system provides the screen FHD+ 6,26 inches get all the prominence in the front. In addition, and unlike what happened in the Meizu Pro 7 -which included a small back panel-, Nubia will take advantage of the rear screen with wit: this is to be selfis using the main camera -here is the only-, and that provides images of much higher quality than usual in the self-portraits; in addition, with a system of eye protection which, without the use of liquid ink as they made the Yotaphone-Russian, allows you to use that second screen that uses less battery as the e-reader. When the eye protection is at maximum, the screen essentially shows nearly black and white.
Functional
In any case, both screens are fully functional, and THE COUNTRY has been able to verify that passing from one to another is as simple as tightening the two sensors of fingerprints located on each side of the phone -there is no other system biometric unlocking – and flip the device. But the most striking Holiganbet is that the chinese brand has managed to make the presence of the child panel is not noticeable at all when it is not being used despite the fact that the body is of blue glass.
To that, no doubt, it helps that the second screen is OLED and not LCD, so that the pixels do not emit any light when they are disabled. In fact, you need to look very carefully to catch a glimpse of the frame of the screen under the rear lid, which allows you to create effects very curious with the different screen saver that includes the mobile and the user can add other custom. If that is not enough, the Nubian has become the rear screen in a control game, that can be used to control different functions of games by touching it with the fingers that hold in the device.
The rest of the specifications of the Nubia X are the own of a mobile high-end. Uses the processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 845, accompanied by 6 or 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage, and a battery of 3,800 mAh. with the fast charging system QC 4.0. In terms of the dual camera, She has opted for a configuration in which there is no possibility of an optical zoom lens, as both lenses have the same focal length.
Lenses and sensors

The main account with a lens, very light -f 1.8 – and a sensor of 16 megapixels, while the secondary serves to capture additional information that allows you to improve the portrait mode, and is paired with another sensor of 24 megapixels. Unfortunately, the device does not features an optical image stabilizer to take pictures in low-light conditions. In the appearance multimedia highlight speakers, DTS 32-bit and the ability to view videos on both screens, although the principal, without just frameworks, is the one that offers the best experience.
Among the most striking of the Nubia X is its price. The most basic costs in China 3.299 yuan (420 euros the change), and advanced amounts to 4.199 yuan (530 euros). The first 100,000 units in pre-sales have sold out in just 57 seconds, and there are already rumors of other brands, among them Alive, they are working on mobile with a similar configuration. Until the devices with folding do not become a practical reality and go beyond the experimental, the market will have to decide whether this system is nothing more than an extravagance to stand out in the market or whether, on the contrary, it is a good formula for drawing closer to the ideal of a phone with ‘infinite screen’. For the moment, there is no release date in Spain.
