Analogix Semiconductor and ZTE Corporation (ZTE) today announced that ZTE's newest flagship smartphone - the Nubia Z5S - features a built-in SlimPort interface solution for displaying content on external displays with full HD resolution. Nubia is a premium brand of smartphone, under ZTE Corporation.

Designed for high-performance entertainment, the Nubia Z5S runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro high-speed processor, which features Adreno320 graphics for enhanced gaming and visual effects. As ZTE's first smartphone to feature SlimPort, the Z5S brings a whole new dimension to the smartphone user experience.

"We designed the Nubia Z5S to be our fastest, most fully featured smartphone, with an array of advanced entertainment capabilities," said Ni Fei, General Manager of the Nubia brand. "Its built-in SlimPort interface allows users to make the most of those capabilities by providing a powerful, easy-to-use way of sharing full HD content with projectors, monitors and TVs."

"Analogix is proud to be part of the initiative with Nubia. By selecting the SlimPort solution for Nubia Z5S, all the great qualities of the phone are being brought together, offering stunning theatre-quality audio and video to share with friends and family on a big screen. Great for 3D gaming or shopping on the Internet, the Z5S is sure to be a success in the market," said Andre Bouwer, Vice-President of marketing for Analogix.

This latest introduction reflects a continuing trend of manufacturers integrating SlimPort solutions into high-end handsets that require very high video resolution, slim form factors and efficient energy use, and it demonstrates SlimPort's rapidly growing global acceptance as a single high-performance interface that connects to the full range of displays.
