However, the anti-cheat test reveals a boost in the scores, just enough to give the ZTE an edge. We can clearly see that the Z9 mini falls short in the multi-core department, but that seems to be completely offset by the rest of the tests and the single-core score. Here you can observe the regular scores: Basemark OS II We also made sure to cool the unit properly between tests, to eliminate any doubt of thermal throttling. Thankfully, however, we came prepared and put the phone through our anti-cheat version of the same benchmark. The overall score paint much the same picture as Antutu, with the ZTE leaving its equally-specked competitors in the dust. The ZTE Nubia Z9 mini appeared to be breezing through this benchmark as well. Moving on to Basemark OS II, which is a another all-round benchmark.

That is a remarkable achievement, but it is also an isolated occurrence among all of the test, so take the Antutu score with a grain of salt. In fact, it managed to outshine all of its Snapdragon 615-powered competitors and only fall short of a pair of octa-core Mediatek devices and the Asus Zenfone 2 with its Intel chip. Here the ZTE Nubia Z9 mini did a lot better for itself, which speaks well the performance of the rest of the device's internals. GeekBench 3ĪnTuTu is a compound benchmark, which also takes into account RAM and GPU performance. So, there is still a lot of power to be squeezed out of the silicon. We see that the Xiaomi Mi 4i and Sony Xperia M4 Aqua both scored marginally better, so did the Archos 50 Diamond, the HTC Desire 820 and the two Oppo phones, not to mention the Samsung Galaxy A7, also running on a Snapdragon 615 chip.

Still, there is some room for improvement. However, we can clearly see the Blade S6, another recent ZTE handset way down the list with over 2000 points less, so the manufacturer definitely shows progress. Below the Z9 mini we find the vivo X5Max, which runs on the same chip, although the difference is negligible. We can therefore conclude that the phone makes pretty good use of its Qualcomm chipset, but could potentially do better. We find the ZTE Nubia Z9 mini at the very middle of the chart.

Having eight cores is a definite plus and the pretty standard Snapdragon 615 clock speed of 1.0 GHz and 1.5 GHz for the two clusters has proven itself capable under loads and otherwise easy on the battery. The following benchmark results show how well the Nubia Z9 mini stacks up against each one of them.įirst up, we have the raw CPU performance test with GeekBench 3, which should be straight-forward enough. Other viable candidates include the Sony Xperia M4 aqua, the LG G2, most any Motorola Moto G, the Asus Zenfone 2 and a few other interesting offers. A quick search reveals that for about €230 to €300 you can currently pick up a Samsung Galaxy S5 mini or a Galaxy S4. We also included a few other devices from the same price bracket as the ZTE Nubia Z9 mini. ZTE itself has another Snapdragon 615 phone, which we have previously reviewed - the Blade S6, so we are throwing it in the mix as well. The vivo X5 Max is also in pretty much the same boat and so is the Archos 50 Diamond. HTC also has a couple of units with the Snapdragon 615 inside - the Desire 820 and 826.Īnd on the local market, there is Oppo, with the R5 and R7 models - both also slightly costlier than the Nubia, but still based on mostly the same hardware platform.

All three are priced slightly higher than the Nubia Z9 mini, but still within mid-range limits. Samsung, for instance, has based a lot of new devices on the very same platform, like the Galaxy J7 and the metal A7 and A8 models. RAM is set at 2GB which is plenty for most every task and the dual-band ac Wi-Fi chip should provide a stable stage for browser performance.Īs for contenders, it really wasn't difficult finding Snapdragon 615-powered handsets to pit the ZTE up against.

The ZTE Nubia Z9 mini is equipped with a 5.0-inch Full HD screen, which is great for visuals, but does put some extra strain on the Adreno 405 GPU. The custom OS can have a major impact in this respect as well. We have seen devices perform rather well with this chip, but it can also do quite poorly in our benchmarks when not properly implemented and utilized. It is powered by what is currently Qualcomm's go to mid-range SoC - the Snapdragon 615. The ZTE Nubia Z9 mini might take after its bigger sibling in terms of looks, but, as it's price tag would suggest, it is a undoubtedly mid-range offer.
