Bucking all of the hot smartphone trends, Chinese company Nubia introduced a new flagship phone with just one camera and no notch. Originally announced on Oct. 2018, Nubia demoed the phone at this year's CES. 

The phone is unique because the Nubia X has two screens -- one on the front, and a second on the back for setting up the perfect selfie. 

The Nubia X.

The Nubia X comes equipped with a primary 6.3-inch LCD display and a secondary, rear-facing 5.1-inch OLED. The second display eliminates the need for the front camera found on most phones, which is usually technically inferior and embedded in an unsightly notch -- think Apple iPhone XS and Google Pixel 3 XL. When you flip the Nubia X around, the second display activates and boom, there's your dedicated viewfinder for selfies.

This kind of thing has been done before, kind of. In 2014, the YotaPhone 2 came out of Russia equipped with a standard front LCD and a secondary E Ink display on the back. It was designed to let you read e-books for long periods without draining the battery. But the E Ink technology wan't great, and the phone was too expensive to become anything more than a niche device. On paper, at least, the Nubia X appears to have more potential to help dual-screen devices hit the mainstream. 

In addition to the two displays -- and an in-screen fingerprint scanner, like the one found on the OnePlus 6T unveiled earlier this week -- the Nubia X has a respectable array of features. Here are the specs listed on Nubia's Chinese-language website (as translated by Google):

In 2015, Chinese electronics giant ZTE spun off Nubia into its own brand. Though some ZTE and Nubia phones have been released outside of China, the Nubia X will only be sold in China. However, the company confirmed it was working on its sequel for 2019, and hopes to sell the upcoming phone in other markets.
