An image of a smartphone in a protective case recently surfaced on Weibo (a Chinese microblogging site), which netizens initially speculated to be the Huawei Mate 70.
However, Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station now claims that the phone in question is actually the Nubia Z70 Ultra, citing its design elements. He pointed out the red power button and another button positioned similarly to the iPhone 16 series’ capture button, which he referred to as a ‘photo button.’ This suggests that Nubia’s upcoming flagship might feature a similar addition to the iPhone 16 series, potentially making the cameras more accessible.
Nubia Z70 Ultra: what we know so far
Apart from the buttons, the phone also adopts a 1.5K display along with an under-panel camera, which makes it the first phone to offer the combination. It should offer a more immersive display experience as compared to the Nubia Z60 Ultra and most other flagships in the market at present.
To improve the image quality of the under-panel camera, the company has reportedly reduced the pixel density of the translucent area. The more pixels the tiny display panel in front of the lens will have, the less light will pass through it. So manufacturers have to keep the pixel density very low to allow as much light as possible.
Nonetheless, the Nubia Z70 Ultra reportedly offers improved picture quality with its under-panel selfie camera as compared to its predecessor.
Not to mention the phone will equip the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset, which will likely be released next month. The phone is also expected to be released sometime in Q4 this year.
What to expect?
Last year Nubia launched the Nubia Z60 Ultra around mid-December with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and a 50MP+64MP+50MP camera setup on the back. A notable aspect of the camera system was the 35mm focal length for the main camera, which is very unique for smartphones.
While details about the successor are still unclear, we should expect a similar or more capable camera setup alongside improved performance.
