Could ZTE’s Nubia range make it to SA?

There’s a Snapdragon 835 chip, up to 8GB of RAM and a 12MP+23MP dual camera pairing. Not too shabby then.

“Nubia is currently in discussion with local partners about it,” a representative for the brand told Gearburn in response to the aforementioned question.
“The official launch in other countries will be announced when there’s confirmation,” the representative added.
