The Nubia Z60 Ultra has been announced, and it’s a rather interesting-looking phone. This device was announced in China, and it has a clear canvas up front. It has thin bezels with no display hole or notch. Nubia opted for an under-display camera here.
The Nubia Z60 Ultra is official with an odd-looking camera setup on the back
The phone’s corners are rather sharp, while the frame is flat all around. The front side is also flat, while there’s a lot going on at the back. There are three cameras back there, and they look entirely different design-wise, one compared to the other. It’s one of the oddest camera layouts we’ve seen to date.
All the physical buttons sit on the right-hand side, with the power/lock button being red-colored. Nubia also made some gaming-focused improvements to the device. There’s an aerospace-grade thermal plate on the inside, along with a large vapor chamber with superconducting nanocarbon fiber.
A great display optimized for gaming is included here, along with one of the most powerful processors
The Nubia Z60 Ultra features a 6.8-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. That panel has a peak brightness of 1,500 nits, and it supports a 1,200Hz peak sampling rate. A 2,160Hz PWM dimming is also a part of the package.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 fuels the Nubia Z60 Ultra. Nubia also offers LPDDR5X RAM here, and UFS 4.0 flash storage. Models with 8GB, 12GB, and 16GB of RAM are available. The storage goes up to 1TB.
The phone supports 80W charging
A 6,000mAh battery sits on the inside of the phone, while 80W charging is also supported here. Yes, the charger is included in the package too. Android 14 comes pre-installed on the device, with Nubia’s MyOS on top of it.
A 50-megapixel main camera (1/1.49-inch sensor, Sony IMX800, 35mm f/1.6 optically-stabilized lens) sits on the back. A 50-megapixel ultrawide camera (f/1.8 aperture, 3-level optical stabilization, 1/1.56 unit) is also included. The third camera on the back is a 64-megapixel telephoto unit (OmniVision OV64B sensor, 1/2.0-inch sensor, OIS, 85mm unit).
An under-display camera is also a part of the package here
On the front, you’ll find a 12-megapixel camera under the display. That camera has a 2.24um pixel size. That camera also has its own display chip, and an AI deep-sensing engine.
Nubia also included a dedicated Game Space in this phone’s software and some interesting tech like Super frame stabilization.
The Nubia Z60 Ultra comes in Black, Gray, and Silver color options. The 8GB RAM model includes 256GB of storage. The 12GB RAM unit is available in both 256GB and 512GB storage flavors. The 16GB RAM variant includes 1TB of storage.
Having said that, only three models launched globally. The 8GB RAM model with 256GB of storage is priced at $599/€679. The 12GB RAM model with 256GB of storage can be yours for $649/€749.
