| Ninetology U9Z1+ TOP NOTCH! |
I know, I know, it's not easy to decide which one to buy since every phone has their own strength and weakness. Maybe this categories can help you?
Lightest: U9Z1+
Slimmest: U9Z1+
Smallest screen: U9X1
Cheapest: U9X1
Best rear camera: U9X1, U9Z1+
Best front camera: U9Z1, U9Z1+
Longest battery life: U9Z1+ (considering that a power bank will be included in the package)
Have you decided which is your favorite? Cos I have! My favorite is U9Z1+ because it has the best spec and the price is very affordable! Just another RM 200 more than the cheapest model, I'd definitely get the one that has the best specs! Agree?
U9 series smartphones will be available in all major phone retailers and Ninetology will also be launching their first flagship store at Lowyat in mid August.
