Today, ZTE announced release plans for its nubia 5S mini, an unlocked LTE-capable budget-friendly smartphone that offers a little bang for your buck. Available on August 27th for just $280, the Chinese phone maker’s new smartphone sounds pretty decent on paper. The nubia 5S mini sports a 4.7-inch 720 x 1,280 display, a 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor, 16GB of storage space, a 2,000mAh battery, a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 5-megapixel front-facing shooter for selfies and Hangouts.

So far, so good, but there’s a small caveat here. The nubia 5S mini ships with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean instead of Google’s current mobile operating system. Outdated OS aside, ZTE claims that the nubia 5S mini features some intuitive camera software, like independent control for focus, light metering and white balance capable of making an amateur photographer look like certified pro.

If you’re in the market for an affordable, off-contract smartphone and you don’t mind waiting for software updates, the ZTE nubia 5S mini is now available to pre-order from Amazon.
