A leaked image (shown below) that surfaced in August revealed two smartphones with circular camera modules. Positioned on the left is the Nubia Z50s Pro, while the one on the right, characterized by a more prominent camera module, is rumored to be the Nubia Z60 Ultra. Speculation suggests that the Z60 Ultra may incorporate a 1-inch, 35mm Sony IMX989 primary camera sensor. Reports have claimed that the device will also feature an under-display front camera.

The Nubia NX721J device, which was recently spotted on Geekbench, could be the upcoming Nubia Z60 Ultra. The listing revealed that the device has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, 12 GB of RAM, and Android 14.
