Smartphone brand Nubia is usually known for offering great performance and also a more aggressive design than most smartphones on the market today. Recently, Nubia showed off their latest and most powerful model, the Nubia Z70S Ultra which is an upgrade in several aspects compared to the Nubia Z70 Ultra launched late last year.
Like the previous model, it is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor chip, but this time it also comes with an upgrade in terms of memory, which is increased to 24GB and also 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage, compared to 16GB of memory and 512GB of storage on the previous model.
In terms of display, the Nubia Z70S Ultra comes with the same display size at 6.85 inches, but uses an OLED panel with the same 144Hz refresh rate. In terms of glass, this latest model replaces the Longxi glass with the more durable Gorilla Glass 7i.
One of the biggest improvements seen on this device is its camera. The main camera sensor this time is a 50MP OmniVision Light Fusion 900 with a size of 1/1.3 inches paired with a 35mm f1.7 lens. It also uses a 64MP 70mm telephoto lens and a 50MP ultra-wide lens to complete the device's tri-camera system.
The Nubia Z70S Ultra also retains the physical shutter button on the previous device, allowing users to take photos or record videos quickly and easily. It can also be used to access the camera app by pressing the button for a few seconds.
The Nubia Z70S Ultra's battery has also been upgraded to 6600mAH and comes with 80W fast charging like the previous device for a longer battery life. It also comes with an IP68/69 dust and water resistance rating which adds to the ruggedness of this device.
The Nubia Z70S Ultra has been introduced for the Chinese market, and comes in several memory and storage configurations, including 12GB/256GB, 16GB/512GB and 24GB/1TB. For international markets, possibly including Malaysia as well, ZTE says that they will hold a global launch event for the device on May 13, 2025 soon.
