High customs means its pretty much wasting money kickstarting stuff from india. Better wait for its official release in the country

Gaming arm of Nubia?

 

[adventureguy]

ZTE reduced its stake in Nubia to 49.9% in 2017 officially meaning Nubia was no longer considered a subsidiary of the company

nubia itself is part of ZTE

Uploaded some pics of the phone.
Except for the looks, I cannot say what is so "gaming" about this. :|

what is the guarantee that the phone will come out after paying those 399 dollars? i think such phone kick starter projects by big companies (who don't have a shortfall of cash) are just a gimmick to gauge the feedback for such weird phones. or probably to gauge the line at which to draw the max amount of cash out from people by branding phones as ultra premium or gaming or something else.

Funding is complete. But it would be more popular if it was a project by a more well-known brand like OnePlus, Samsung etc. And I believe it's already available via Indiegogo itself
And Indiegogo also refunds the money for orders which don't get fulfilled. But interested people need to look at the OS information and be wary of the potential presence of large amount of bugs.
