Invisible under-display camera and all-screen design
One of the key points in the comparison video is the under-display camera of the Z60 Ultra. Nubia wants to show how much screen estate is preserved by going for an UDC solution rather than a pill-shaped cutout.
Many smartphone brands have been striving to achieve what’s apparently the holy grail of smartphone design: the all-screen phone, and it seems that the under-display camera solution will be the way to go (even Samsung is adopting it in its foldables).
In the comparison video, the under-display camera on the Nubia Z60 Ultra looks practically invisible during the demo. Whether or not this would be the case in a real-life situation, and most importantly, what the quality of the selfie photos would be, is not clear at the moment.
The design of the back is pretty radical, not only because of the arrangement and look of the cameras but also color-wise. There’s a variant called Starry Night that looks like a Van Gogh painting. Very cool!
Brighter screen than the one on the iPhone 15 Pro (subjectively)
The display itself is a 6.8-inch, 120 Hz fast AMOLED with an integrated fingerprint sensor, another under-display system. The pixel density sits around 400 ppi, which is not the highest in the industry but pretty decent nonetheless.
Huge battery and the latest Snapdragon
This is by far the largest capacity we’ve seen in a flagship phone to date, but it’s not exclusive to Nubia phones; the ROG series has been using 6,000 mAh batteries for quite some time.
The camera sensors under the flamboyant back design are a 50MP main sensor of unknown origin (most likely Sony’s new LYT-808 we’ve been seeing in recent Chinese flagship launches) under a 35mm equivalent main lens, a 108MP telephoto, and a 50 or 64MP ultrawide camera with an 18mm focal length equivalent.
Official launch of the Nubia Z60 Ultra? Can I get this phone?
The Nubia Z60 Ultra will be officially launched on Tuesday, December 19th, and that’s when we’ll know for sure things like pricing and whether or not this phone will be available globally in some form.
Previous Nubia phones, such as the gaming Red Magic series, could be bought via the Nubia online store, and some models also appear on Amazon, so the chances are pretty good.
