The Nubia Z60 Ultra has officially made its debut in China. It is ZTE’s third Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered smartphone for the Chinese market after the Red Magic 9 Pro and Red Magic 9 Pro+, which are gaming-focused smartphones. Like the predecessor models, the Z60 Ultra promises top-notch camera performance and thus serves as a good rival for the likes of the OnePlus 12, Realme GT 5 Pro, iQOO 12 Pro, and Xiaomi 14 Pro in the Chinese market. Here is a look at the specifications, features, and price of the device.
Design and Display
Starting from the front, the main highlight of the Nubai Z60 Ultra is its display, which offers a truly full-screen viewing experience. Like its competitors, the display is flanked with slim bezels, and in addition, it does not have a camera cutout as it is equipped with an under-display camera. With ZTE’s fifth-generation under-display camera technology onboard, it promises to deliver even better front camera performance despite being placed under the display.
The Nubian Z60 Ultra will come in three variants: Star Collector’s Edition, Galaxy, and Star Glory colors. The Starry Sky Collector’s Edition features a distinctive back panel featuring a 3D starry sky design built with micro-etching technology Meanwhile, the Galaxy and Star Glory color variants incorporate AG frosting technology to create an intriguing blend of matte and bright finishes. In addition, it comes with an IP68-rated dustproof and water-resistant chassis. It weighs 246 grams, and has a thickness of 8.78mm.
The Nubia Z60 Ultra is equipped with a 6.8-inch BOE Q9+ OLED display that produces a 1.5K resolution of 2480 x 1116 pixels and a 120Hz refresh rate. It also offers a 1200Hz instantaneous touch sampling rate, 2160Hz PWM high-frequency dimming, local peak brightness of 1500 nits, 10-bit color depth, and a 100 percent DCI-P3 color gamut.
