ZTE’s Nubia brand has announced a new affordable ‘M series’ smartphone – the nubia M2 Play to join the nubia M2 and M2 Lite. In terms of body design, it is similar to the nubia M2 Lite with a mix of metal and curved glass however, the front camera has been scaled down.
The nubia M2 Play sports a front facing 5MP camera with f/2.4 aperture, 84-degree wide angle lens and Skin Retouching 2.0 for capturing better selfies. It also comes pre-installed with nubia UI 5.0 (based on Android Nougat OS) and powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 processor paired with 3GB RAM.
