Anvinraj Valiyathara — Tue, 27 Jun 2023 01:20:00 +0000

In December 2022, Nubia unveiled the Nubia Z50 with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip onboard in China. In March of this year, the brand announced the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-powered Nubia Z50 Ultra with improvements in departments like display and rear cameras. As per a Weibo post by tipster Digital Chat Station, Nubia is working on a flagship phone. In all likelihood, it will break cover as a Z50-series smartphone.

Key details of upcoming Nubia flagship

Nubia Z50 Ultra

According to the tipster, Nubia is gearing up to release its upcoming flagship phone, which will feature the upcoming high-frequency version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, ensuring optimal performance. The new chip is tentatively named the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 2 by the rumor mill.

The Nubia Z50 and Z50 Ultra are equipped with a 64-megapixel Sony IMX787 primary camera with a 35mm equivalent lens. According to the tipster, the upcoming Nubia flagship will feature an upgraded primary camera, promising an improved photography experience. He did not reveal any other information about the device.

The launch of Nubia’s upcoming Z-series flagship is likely to occur shortly after the release of the Red Magic 8S Pro gaming smartphone, which is scheduled for July 5 in China. The Red Magic 8S Pro is anticipated to be the world’s first phone powered by the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 2 chipset. It is possible that while featuring the new chip, the Red Magic 8S Pro’s specifications could be similar to those of the previously announced Red Magic 8 Pro.

Although Qualcomm has not officially provided information regarding the availability of the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2, it is expected to make an announcement in the days leading up to the Red Magic 8S Pro launch event. The OnePlus Ace 2 Pro which is expected to debut in August in China may also come equipped with the new chip.

3 Technologies that Will Make Smartphones Thinner in the Next 5 Years

Leo Wong De Quan — Sat, 08 Apr 2023 14:58:48 +0000

Smartphones have become an essential part of our lives, but they are also getting bigger and heavier as they pack more features and functions. Nowadays, you can really feel the heavy weight of the latest glass sandwich in the pocket of your pants.

However, some technologies are emerging that could make smartphones thinner and lighter in the coming future. Here are the 3 technologies you might not know that will make smartphones thinner in the next 5 years.

Graphene Batteries

Graphene is a material made of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. It has many remarkable properties, such as high strength, flexibility, conductivity and transparency. Graphene batteries are expected to offer higher energy density, faster charging and a longer lifespan than conventional lithium-ion batteries. And smartphone manufacturers such as Xiaomi, Oppo and Samsung are researching new battery tech such as graphene could enable high-capacity batteries in a smaller form factor. In turn, it translates to thinner and lighter smartphones with longer battery life.

Rollable Displays

Rollable displays are flexible screens that can be rolled up or folded when not in use. They can offer larger display sizes without increasing the device’s footprint or weight. Rollable displays are based on organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology, which produces bright and vivid colours with low power consumption. Some smartphone makers, such as Motorola and Samsung, have already showcased their prototypes of rollable smartphones that can expand or retract their screens with a simple button.

For example, Motorola showcased the Motorola Rizr rollable at MWC Barcelona 2023, where the device is housed within a small 5-inch form factor but can transform into a 6.5-inch screen when fully rolled out. And in turn, you can still have the big screen in a small and thinner package.

Under-Display Cameras

Last on the list is under-display cameras. Under-display cameras are cameras that are hidden under the screen of a smartphone, eliminating the need for a notch or a hole-punch cutout. This can create a more immersive and seamless viewing experience for the user, and then the phones need not carve more screen space. Thus, no notch translates to less distraction, less extra screen space needed, and more importantly, a thinner and smaller smartphone overall.

Under-display cameras (UDC) use transparent OLED pixels that can switch between displaying content and letting light pass through to the camera sensor. Some smartphone makers, such as ZTE and Xiaomi, have already launched smartphones with under-display cameras. The technology is still in its early stages and it is expected that UDC image quality and performance will improve rapidly in the next 5 years with proper development with support from the industry.

On the topic of under-display cameras, the latest flagship from ZTE – the Nubia Z50 Ultra features a notch-less 120Hz AMOLED display, the latest and fastest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC from Qualcomm and more importantly a next-generation under-display camera.

To learn more about the Nubia Z50 Ultra, you can learn more about the smartphone from our review here. The Nubia Z50 Ultra is available on Giztop starting from 699 USD.

Nubia Z50 Ultra Full Review: Men will definitely love it

Sern Wen — Fri, 24 Mar 2023 03:30:39 +0000

If you’ve seen the front of the Red Magic 8 Pro, you’ll be impressed with that screen. But not everyone is into gaming phones, so maybe you’re still looking for a normal phone with a Red Magic 8 Pro screen. Nubia certainly knows what we think, and this phone is designed for those people.

WHERE TO BUY

Nubia Z50 Ultra is available @Giztop

Design

Because it’s Nubia’s top flagship phone, Z50 Ultra has to put a larger sensor on the back, so it’s not as clean as the Red Magic 8 Pro’s back panel. It’s more of an upgrade of the Z40S than the Z50, with a more similar design. The flat frame and screen, 6.8 inches plus 228g of weight predestine the Z50 Ultra to not feel great in your hand. But the advantage is that such a design is unique and you can recognize the phone even from five meters away.

The Z50 Ultra also has an alert slider, which can be customized. The default function is to turn on the camera, which shows that it is very confident in its camera system. The Z50 Ultra has IR, NFC, and dual Nano SIM slots, but no IP68. I personally like the square design, which is unique and beautiful. It makes sense that the first sale in China broke 100 million RMB.

Display

This big and complete screen is the same as the Red Magic 8 Pro’s, both from BOE’s OLED panel. The resolution is 1116P with 120Hz refresh rate. 1440Hz high-frequency PWM dimming at low brightness, which you can also change to DC-like dimming in the developer options. There is no serious color shift in the oblique view, and the ∆E is less than 1. The bezel is very narrow and the screen does not have any holes, making it a very good screen overall.

Let’s focus on this area of the front camera. Like the Axon 40 Ultra, it really hides the front camera almost perfectly. Although the Z50 Ultra can’t hide the front camera perfectly in any state yet, you can still find it when you look closely at low brightness. But trust me, you won’t notice it in 99% of the scenarios.

The screen specifications have made some compromises for the Under Display Camera. For example, the maximum brightness of the full screen is low, and it is not easy to see the content in strong sunlight. Resolution can not reach 2k, which is still a difficult point that ZTE and BOE need to overcome in the future.

Under Display Camera

This Under Display Camera has always been very unfriendly to people who like to take selfies. Once the conditions are harsh, such as the backlight is not good or even a dark environment, the photos taken by this front camera really don’t look good. Furthermore, if you take a picture in the right environment, it’s still not as good as an ordinary phone, but it’s still relatively clear with the AI algorithm.

The really bad thing is the video, although it supports 1080P resolution, it looks more like 720P or even 480P. Anyway, the image quality improvement of the front camera is relatively small. People with high requirements for selfies should not buy this phone. You can click on the video above to view the sample video.

Benchmark & Gaming

Not surprisingly the Z50 Ultra’s processor is Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, plus UFS 4.0 and LPDDR5X, the results in both 3DMark and the latest Geekbench 6 show its flagship phone level. There are issues with downclocking in the CPU Throttling Test, but trust me, it has no impact on your gaming experience.

Just like its brother Red Magic 8 Pro, the Z50 Ultra’s gaming performance is stunning. Even in Genshin Impact’s Sumeru, it doesn’t seem to be stressed. An average frame rate of 57fps makes it one of the best gaming performers of any non-gaming phone. Although the loading of the mapping caused some lag when you first entered the game, it immediately became very smooth and stable. But the consequence is that it brings higher temperatures and higher power consumption, which is the reason why the Red Magic 8 Pro has a built-in fan.

You can also adjust to balance mode in Game space, the temperature will be much lower, but the maximum fps will be locked at 50. You can also use Bypass Charging if you run out of power while playing games. So Nubia gives you the choice here, whether you choose a high frame rate and high temperature, or a lower frame rate and low temperature.

Camera

The first thing that impressed us about the Z50 Ultra’s camera was its stability. It gives you a very good photo no matter what the environment is or the time of day. It’s hard for me to analyze its pros or cons as I do with other phones. Because its image quality is really nothing that I can complain about. Vibrant colors, great clarity, and good dynamic range. And it’s not just the main camera that performs so well, all three lenses are that good. This is rare because most phones perform well with only the main camera. Next, I’ll show you some sample shots I took with the Z50 Ultra.

Camera experience

If I must say one drawback of Z50 Ultra, some camera experience is not good. For example, the buttons for switching lenses in night mode are below the viewfinder, which is very difficult to press with one hand. There is also the sliding switch, which can only be used to open the camera’s Street mode. If you don’t like taking pictures with filters, the only solution is to turn off the filters in Street mode. So later it’s the normal mode when opening the camera with the sliding switch.

Battery & Charging

Z50 Ultra chose a whole 5000mAh cell as the battery. The downside of a single cell is that it can’t accept too high charging power, and 80w is not much high power today. It takes 40 minutes to be fully charged.

But the advantage of a single cell is that it makes the battery more durable. Although the power consumption of the game session is similar for everyone, compared to the dual-cell battery has a clear advantage over other sessions. After a year or two, the difference in battery life will be more obvious. But as a flagship phone, the absence of wireless charging is a great pity for Z50 Ultra.

MyOS

We have made a video about our experience with the system, and MyOS was not mentioned in it, so I would like to talk about it here. The system has no obvious disadvantages, it feels like MIUI Lite to me, and many places are very similar to MIUI.

For example, on the desktop, slide down at the left side is the message center and the right side is the control center. The custom color wheel in Display Setting. Swipe to open the floating window after receiving a message. Even this Super wallpaper is so similar. I think this is a good thing, after all, MIUI is a better system. So you don’t have to worry that MyOS being too much behind other systems, at least I am comfortable using it.

Overall, the Nubia Z50 is not only very versatile but also very unique. Whether it’s gaming, photography, or battery life, it’s all top-notch. And the 35mm main camera and this full straight screen are something that no other phone can satisfy you with. Plus the Z50 Ultra isn’t expensive when you compare it to other flagship phones.

If you want to try a phone without a notch or a hole punch, there’s no one better than the Z50 Ultra.

Nubia Z50 Ultra Includes Mere 8 Uninstallable System Apps

Nubia is set to launch the Z50 Ultra in a few hours from now. The brand has been teasing the features of its latest flagship smartphone for the last few days.

Just a day ahead of the product’s debut, the company talked about the software on the device earlier today. It revealed some interesting details. Let’s go through them.

The Nubia Z50 Ultra has been confirmed to ship with MyOS 13. Though the company does not mention it, the software is most likely based on Android 13.

Nubia claims that the software on its premium phone will lack unnecessary things. Users will have granular controls over permissions. Thus, users will be able to avoid pop-up advertisements.

Fascinatingly, users will be able to uninstall more system apps than ever before. In fact, the number of uninstallable system apps is just 8, which is the same as on MIUI 14 (China ROM).

Apart from Settings, Phone, Contacts, Messages, Camera, File Manager, Browser, and App Store, users of Nubia Z50 Ultra can remove all other applications on their handset.

Therefore, Nubia touts its MyOS 13 Android skin as a pure system. Apart from light software, the Z50 Ultra also packs high-end hardware.

The smartphone offers a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Chipset, a 4th gen under-display camera, LPDDR5x RAM, UFS 4.0 storage, a 6.8-inch 2K OLED display, a triple camera system including a periscope lens, and a 5,000mAh battery.

Nubia Z50 Ultra Appears on Geekbench ahead of March 7 launch

Sudhanshu — Sun, 05 Mar 2023 18:59:25 +0000

A few months after the launch of the Nubia Z50 in China, the brand is now getting ready for the debut of the Nubia Z50 Ultra. The launch date is set for March 7, and the brand has already started showing off the attractive design of the device.

One of the main features onboard is a new and improved under-display camera which is the result of six years of polishing the technology. It will truly be interesting to see what this front camera is capable of, however, the performance also matters. And answering to that question, the device has appeared on Geekbench.

The Nubia Z50 Ultra (model number NX712J) is expected to be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and 12 GB of RAM, as indicated by its Geekbench listing. Its operating system will be based on Android 13. When tested, the device achieved a single-core score of 1494 and a multi-core score of 5121 on Geekbench 5.

Through leaks and teasers, we already know that the Nubia Z50 Ultra will flaunt a boxy design with flat edges and a flat display. The snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, paired with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage will draw juice from a 5,000mAh battery that has 80W fast charging.

As for optics, the Nubia Z50 Ultra is rumored to have a 16MP under-display front-facing camera, which is claimed to be less noticeable compared to the cameras on the Axon 40 Ultra and Galaxy Z Fold 4. The selfie camera will have a customized 2μm micrometer. The phone may come with the Android 13 operating system pre-installed, along with the company’s MyOS 13 custom interface.

On the back, the Nubia Z50 Ultra is expected to feature a Sony IMX786 sensor as its primary camera, which can capture 64MP images with an f/1.6 aperture, 1/1.3-inch optical format, and OIS. The primary camera will have a narrower field of view than most smartphone cameras. Additionally, it will have a 64MP periscope lens with OIS and a third camera equipped with a 50MP sensor and a 14mm equivalent focal length, designed for ultra-wide-angle photography.

Nubia Z50 Ultra Roundup: Design, Specs, Expected Pricing & More

Anurag — Sun, 05 Mar 2023 08:08:13 +0000

Under-display cameras (UDC) still feel like stuff from the future, albeit the selfies from such cameras are inferior to conventional selfie cameras on smartphones. ZTE was the first major brand to release a smartphone with this technology back in 2020. The Chinese company is now ready to launch its fourth generation of under-display cameras with the Nubia Z50 Ultra.

The brand will introduce the smartphone on March 7 with a UDC technology called Neovision. Before that, we decided to gather everything we know about the upcoming Nubia Z50 Ultra. From specs and design to expected pricing, you’ll find it all in this post.

Design & Display

Nubia Z50 Ultra will be the brand’s latest flagship smartphone and is claimed to pack cutting-edge hardware. It will also arrive with an impressive design that you won’t see on phones from any other brand. The new smartphone will have a focus on photography, just like every other flagship phone nowadays. It will have a big camera module on the back with two large rings and two small ones.

The smartphone has a flat back with even flatter sides. The corners are slightly round. The more interesting stuff is on the front. As mentioned, the device will have an under-display selfie camera and it will be practically invisible too, meaning you’ll get a cutout-free display. While the concept is pretty interesting, we still don’t expect good selfies from it.

The Z50 Ultra will have a notification/alert slider on its right edge, while the bottom will feature a speaker grille, a SIM slot, and a USB-C port. The top side will have an IR blaster.

Teasers reveal the smartphone will use a 6.8-inch screen on the front with a 1440Hz PWM Dimming and UL eye protection certificate. The display for the device has been developed in collaboration with BOE, offering a 2K resolution display with a second-gen display chip. It will feature Neovision UDC— ZTE’s fourth-generation under-display camera tech that has been upgraded to offer better image quality.

Specifications

ZTE is said to have packed top-of-the-line hardware inside the upcoming Nubia Z50 Ultra. The smartphone will be powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. The handset was recently benchmarked on Geekbench and it managed to score 5121 points in the multi-core test and 1494 in the single-core trial. The processor could be paired with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage

The company has confirmed the handset will be fueled by a 5,000mAh battery, however, its charging speed is still anyone’s guess. We expect the handset to support at least 80W fast charging. It will likely pack an under-display fingerprint sensor for security.

The handset will arrive with a 16MP under-panel selfie camera that is claimed to be less visible than it was on the Axon 40 Ultra or the Galaxy Z Fold 4. Its front-facing cam will feature a customized 2μm (micrometer). On the software front, the handset could run the Android 13 operating system out-of-the-box with the company’s own MyOS 13 custom interface on top.

In the rear camera department, the Nubia Z50 Ultra is set to feature the Sony IMX786 sensor as its main camera, which is capable of capturing 64MP with a 1/1.3-inch optical format, a 35mm equivalent focal length, and an f/1.6 aperture, complete with OIS. Consequently, the primary camera will produce a narrower field of view compared to typical smartphone cameras. It will feature a 64MP periscope lens with OIS and a third camera with a 50 MP sensor and a 14mm equivalent focal length for ultra-wide-angle shots.

Expected Pricing

The Nubia Z50 Ultra will be available for purchase in three color options— Black, White, and a special starry Night Edition. The handset will be launched in China and is not expected to make it to the global market anytime soon. While there’s no official word about its pricing, we can expect it to have a starting price of around $800-$900. For reference, ZTE Axon 40 Ultra, which debuted last year, carries a price tag of $769.

Sudhanshu — Tue, 28 Feb 2023 06:54:36 +0000

Back in December 2022, Nubia debuted the Z50 series with the launch of the Nubia Z50 in China. This smartphone is currently the sole entry in the series, however, the brand is also gearing up to launch a new model called the Nubia Z50 Ultra.

The Z50 Ultra has already made appearance on TENAA, and was also spotted in a recent live image. Now, the brand has officially started teasing the smartphone, revealing its design, details and information regarding the launch. First up, the smartphone is officially set to launch on March 7 2023, at 2 PM CST.

The official teaser images reveal that the smartphone has a boxy design with super thin bezels for its flat display. All sides, along with the back are also flat. The most notable thing about this smartphone is that it features an under-display camera which effectively removes the need of a camera notch or punch hole. Overall, the aesthetics of the smartphone reminds of the recently launched Red Magic 8 Pro.

Nubia Z50 Ultra Spotted With Ultra-narrow Border, Under-display Camera

Soumyakanti — Wed, 22 Feb 2023 12:22:28 +0000

Nubia is reportedly gearing up to launch the Nubia Z50 Ultra, the top variant in its Z50 lineup. Recently, a photo of the Nubia Z50 Ultra is captured by a netizen in the subway (published by Digital Chat Station) which reveals that the smartphone has an ultra-narrow border screen with an under-display camera, making it look stunning in appearance.

According to a previous report, the Z50 Ultra’s under-display camera uses a pixel circuit to drive an OLED pixel unit technical solution. This solution optimizes the pixel space arrangement and film stacking design of the camera area without reducing the pixel density and pixel driver circuit in the camera area. As a result, the front camera of the mobile phone has improved the transmittance of visible light, increased the amount of light input of the camera under the screen, and achieved a high-resolution and undifferentiated true full-screen display while improving the photographic effect.

This innovative under-display camera technology is expected to be a game-changer for the smartphone industry as it eliminates the need for a notch or hole-punch in the display to house the front-facing camera. This, in turn, provides a larger and more immersive display experience, giving users a true full-screen experience without any interruptions.

Nubia has not officially released any details about the smartphone’s specifications or features, but recently, an unknown Nubia smartphone with the model number NX712J was listed on TENAA, which is believed to be the Z50 Ultra.

According to Digital Chat Station, the Z50 Ultra will feature ZTE‘s fourth-generation under-display front-facing camera technology from BOE, a 2K resolution curved display powered by a second-gen display chip, a periscope zoom camera, and a 5,000mAh battery.
