Price last checked: 29 Jun 2015. Confirm current price before buying.
This one's built around the Snapdragon 800 platform, a quad-core Krait 400 chip clocked at 2.3GHz paired with Adreno 330 graphics and 2GB RAM. That was flagship-tier hardware for its time, and it's matched with a 5-inch IGZO screen running full HD resolution at roughly 441 ppi, sharp enough that text and images hold up well up close. Storage comes in 16GB or 32GB configurations, though there's no card slot to expand beyond that.
The 13MP rear camera stands out on paper with optical image stabilization, a feature not common at this tier, plus autofocus and LED flash. It can shoot 4K video too. A 5MP front camera covers selfies and video calls. ZTE Nubia Z5S price in Malaysia starts from RM1124.
Battery capacity sits at 2300mAh, modest by today's standards but reasonable given the phone's slim 7.6mm profile and 126g weight. It ships with Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and includes LTE support, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, and an infrared port for remote control functions.
