The nubia Z70 Ultra is the latest addition to the Nubia family, offering premium specs in a familiar design. This is the logical successor to last year Z60 Ultra and it features a few major upgrades, including the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, a brighter screen and updated cameras.
The Z70 Ultra’s screen grew to 6.85 inches, with a faster 144Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 2,000 nits. There’s a slight increase in resolution to 1,216 x 2,688 px and thinner bezels, measuring just 1.25mm, making them the thinnest bezels on any smartphone.

The BOE-made AMOLED panel also features an under-display optical fingerprint scanner and a seventh-generation 16MP selfie cam under the display. Nubia has continued to refine the UD selfie cam experience with an improved algorithm for clearer selfies and an updated 430ppi screen area above the sensor.
Moving to the rear cameras, Nubia goes with a 50MP main camera with 35mm optics and an IMX906 sensor.
The new addition to the main camera is a variable aperture lens, which includes values from f/1.59 to f/4.0.
