ZTE today unveiled their new high-end flagship device for the US market — the ZTE Axon. The handset is filled to the brim with top-notch specs, which includes a 5.5-inch Quad HD display on the front with a pixel density of 534ppi, and comes with a metallic body for a premium feel.

When ZTE started making sponsorship deals with the New York Knicks and the Golden State Warriors, to be the teams’ official smartphone, it was trying to raise its profile in a U.S. market that had never seen one of its phones.

But the Chinese telecommunications company changed that in a big way Thursday when it used a large Times Square billboard to announce its high-end nubia Z9 Android smartphone will soon be available in the U.S.

The Z9, which will bypass service providers and sell directly to U.S. customers, features a 5.2 borderless screen, 16 MP camera with image stabilization, fingerprint sensor technology controls that work with grip and gestures.

Some smartphone manufacturers know how to make midrange devices that are actually worth your money, and the new Nubia 5S mini LTE from ZTE is one of them. It looks good and it’s affordable at $279 off-contract, and yet it’s surprisingly impressive under the hood.

The beauty of Android is that manufacturers can innovate in terms of hardware with complete liberty. We’ve seen this happening with camera sensors, processors and even RAM modules of late. The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 was the first to push the envelope with 3GB of RAM and now we’re hearing that Chinese manufacturer ZTE could take it even further with 4GB of RAM for its upcoming smartphone.
