Recent reports have claimed that Nubia is gearing up to launch a new Z-series phone called the Nubia Z30. Leaked renders and key specifications of the Z30 have also surfaced in recent reports. Today, Nubia co-founder Ni Fei took to Weibo today to reveal that the company will be launching the Z30 series of smartphones on May 20. The new Z-series handsets promise a top-notch photography experience.

Mobile photography has always one of the key features of high-end Nubia phones. Fei claimed that Nubia brought the industry’s first camera phone with professional SLR function with pioneering features like multiple exposure, adjustable aperture, star trail shooting, and other functions.

Fei added that the upcoming Nubia Z30 Pro flagship will continue to offer a stellar mobile photography experience. The smartphone will excel at capturing the starry sky, among other photography features. The company is yet to reveal the specs of the Z30 Pro handset.

It is believed that the Nubia phone with NX667J, which was recently spotted at China’s 3C certification site is the upcoming Z30 series. The 5G phone was spotted with a 120W fast charger. The handset is yet to appear in the database of China’s TENAA certification.

Recently, the rumor mill had leaked render and a live shot of the Nubia Z30 handset. The leaked images revealed that the handset has a full-screen display with curved edges. Probably, it is equipped with an under-screen selfie camera. The rear camera setup of the phone has four cameras that carry support for up to 100x digital zoom. This phone is rumored to be powered by the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform. Hopefully, Nubia will be confirming more features of the Z30 series before the official announcement.

Nubia NX667J certified by 3C may be the Nubia Z30, supports 120W fast charging

Nubia has a few devices coming soon. There is the RedMagic 6 Racing/RedMagic 6R which was certified by the Bluetooth SIG earlier this week and by TENAA last week. There is also the next-gen Nubia Z series smartphone that is expected to launch as the Nubia Z30.

A phone believed to be the Nubia Z30 flagship has been spotted on the Chinese Communications Commission database. The phone has the model number NX667J, and according to the listing, it supports 120W fast charging among other ratings.

The next-gen Nubia Z-series smartphone is expected to come with a lot of upgrades and it appears a faster charging technology is one of the areas that has been upgraded. The Nubia Z20 launched with support for 27W fast charging, so a jump to 120W is a big deal.

If the Nubia Z30 launches with 120W fast charging, it will be the second Nubia phone released this year to support the fast charging technology. The RedMagic 6 Pro gaming phone is the first.

A few days ago, a render alleged to be of the Nubia Z30 was posted on the web, and it showed a device with a curved display with no notch or hole punch, leading to speculations that it has an under-display camera. The phone also has quad rear cameras and up to 100x zoom. For fans of the dual-display design of the Nubia Z20, it appears Nubia has dropped it based on the render of the phone.

With the phone already certified by the 3C, there is a chance the nubia Z30 will be announced this month.

Alleged render of the Nubia Z30 hints at an under-display camera

Earlier this week we reported that the next-generation Nubia Z series flagship smartphone will soon arrive according to Ni Fei, a top executive and head of mobile devices at ZTE. Now an alleged render of the phone which is called the Nubia Z30 (name yet to be confirmed) has been posted online.

Since this is not an official render, we advise our readers to take it with a pinch of salt as there is a possibility the original device may not look like this. The render was posted on Weibo earlier today and it shows that the Nubia Z30 will adopt a design very different from that of its predecessor.

An alleged render of the Nubia Z30

As seen in the image, the Nubia Z30 is shown to have a curved display. The back is also curved at the sides but surprisingly, the side view doesn’t seem to show that the device is as curved as the front and rear view portrays.

The most noticeable thing is the lack of a hole in the screen for the front-facing camera. Since there is no hole or notch, there is a chance that the phone has either a pop-up camera or an under-display camera. And since this is a ZTE phone, it is most likely the latter.

On the back is a four-camera array in a rectangular housing. There is an inscription that says that the phone has a 100x hybrid zoom mode like the Galaxy S21 Ultra. This means one of the cameras is a periscope telephoto camera.

The Nubia Z30 will have a Snapdragon 888 processor as revealed in a Weibo post by Ni Fei a while back. However, we do not know if there will be only one model or if there will be lite, pro, and ultra versions too.

Ni Fei teases next-gen Nubia Z series phone is coming soon

The Nubia Z series has been missing from the smartphone scene since the last model, the Nubia Z20 was announced back in August 2019. If you have been waiting for a successor, Ni Fei, the president of mobile devices at ZTE, has confirmed that a new model is on the way.

The top executive took to Weibo to reveal that the next generation Nubia Z series will be coming soon. The Weibo post also included a poll that asked fans what upgrades they expect. From the options, it is safe to assume the poll is a teaser for the upgrades the new phone will bring.

A lot has happened since the release of the Nubia Z20 and the smartphone space is now even more competitive. However, knowing Nubia, we can be sure the New Nubia Z series smartphone will have its own unique features that will give it an edge over the competition.

At the moment, we do not know what the new phone will be called. Will it be called Nubia Z21 so that it syncs with the year 2021 or will it be called Nubia Z30? Let us know what you think in the comment box below.

Also, we have no information about the number of phones that will be announced. While there was only one Nubia Z20 phone, its predecessor, the Nubia Z18 had a mid-range model that launched as the Nubia Z18 Mini and it was even announced before the flagship arrived months later.

Another important question is if the new Nubia Z series phone will have a dual-screen design like the Nubia Z20? With key Chinese manufacturers set to announce a foldable smartphone this year, maybe Nubia will surprise us too. If it does launch a foldable with an inward folding design, it can still be called a dual-screen phone, right?

Last week, Nubia took off covers from the Red Magic 5G smartphone that bears a model number of NX659J. it arrived as the first gaming phone equipped with 5G capabilities. A new phone from the company has a model number of NX615J has recently approved by 3C regulatory body of China. It seems to be the next flagship phone with 5G support from the company.

The 3C certification of the Nubia NX651J smartphone revealed that it carries support for 5G connectivity. The charger that was found mentioned in the 3C listing of the smartphone offers up to 30W fast charging.

The Nubia Z20 dual display that was made official in August 2019 was driven by the Snapdragon 855+ mobile platform. The handset had supported 27W fast charging. The newly found NX651J could be the successor of the Nubia Z20 phone. Hence, the alleged Nubia Z30 could be a dual display phone powered by the Snapdragon 865 SoC that will come equipped with dual-mode 5G and 30W fast charge support.
