In December 2022, Nubia unveiled the Nubia Z50 with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset onboard. The device came equipped with other attractive features, including a marvellous curved-edge display, 64-megapixel dual cameras, and a 5,000mAh battery. The ZTE sub-brand has now unveiled the Nubia Z50 Ultra as its second Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-powered phone. Being an “Ultra” model, it offers enhanced specs over the Z50. The USP of the device is that it comes equipped with a notch-less AMOLED display with ultra-thin bezels.
Nubia Z50 Ultra specifications and features
The Nubia Z50 Ultra measures 163.9 x 76.3 x 8.3mm and weighs 228 grams. It houses a 6.8-inch OLED display, which offers a full experience as there is no notch or punch-hole on it. The screen offers a Full HD+ resolution of 2480 x 1116 pixels, a refresh rate of 120Hz, a touch sampling rate of 960Hz, a 1440Hz PWM dimming, a peak brightness of 1500 nits, 10-bit colors, and a 100 percent DCI-P3 color gamut.
The Z50 Ultra is equipped with a custom-made 16-megapixel OmniVision OV16E1Q under-display camera with a 2.24μm super large pixel size. The company said that the light transmittance has increased by 30 precent. This allows the Z50 Ultra to capture better selfie shots than before.

The rear cameras are assisted by a ring LED flash and multi-channel spectral sensors.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset is present under the hood of the Nubia Z50 Ultra. It comes with up to 16 GB of LPDDR5x RAM and up to 1 TB of UFS 4.0 storage.
