The post Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 phones launched so far: Complete list appeared first on Gizmochina.

Take a look at the cool model. Yup, though you see a brand-new color design, we got the Nubia Z60 Ultra back again. But it’s not the same one we reviewed before, it’s Nubia’s latest Leading Version. The Leading version is not very different from the regular Z60 Ultra in terms of regular specs. Therefore, we will also talk a bit more about the things that weren’t covered in the preview review.

If there’s something you care about that I didn’t mention, you can check out the regular Z60 Ultra review, where we also put a lot of effort.

Unboxing & Design

The accessories in the box are a manual, SIM card pin, 80W USB-C charger, cable, and a clear, half-wrapped PC case.

In terms of form factor, the Leading version doesn’t make any changes. The straight frame, the main camera with its red circle, and the customizable slider are all there. All the features, such as NFC, IP68 certification, and USB 3.1 Gen 1, have not been cut, and even the weight is the same. The vibration motor is pretty well tuned, and very crispy, which is relatively rare to see in a large-sized phone.

The only downside is that it doesn’t support storage expansion. However, there is a 1TB storage version available, which is a way to solve the storage problem. The only difference in design between the Leading version and the regular version is their color schemes. Obviously, the color scheme of the Leading version has been well-designed. They say the design is inspired by the snowy mountains, and I have to say it looks pretty good.

If you want to say what is ” Leading ” in the ” Leading Version “, undoubtedly, it is the processor.

Benchmark & Gaming

So why is this phone called the Z60 Ultra Leading version? The answer is actually that the processor’s name is also called the Leading version. Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Leading version is simply an 8 Gen 3 overclocked version. The CPU and GPU peak clocking have been increased, but in terms of scores, there doesn’t seem to be much of an improvement.

And what about the gaming experience? Well, it’s not much of an improvement either. Can you tell which one is a bit flatter in these two lines? Even if you look at the average frame rate, that 0.05 difference is really negligible. Lower Power consumption and lower temperatures are probably the only advantages of this Leading version. Of course, there’s also the fact that Nubia has already tuned the regular 8 Gen 3 too well, so the difference between overclocking and not overclocking really doesn’t matter that much.

Whether it’s the Z60 Ultra Leading version or the regular version, it has a very, very large number of options for the gaming mode. In addition to Bypass charging and various auxiliary functions, you can also adjust the touch sampling rate, sensitivity, and other more detailed options.

There’s also Diablo mode, which is even more powerful than Rise mode, so turn it on and put on a phone cooler and you’ll get a gaming experience that rivals the gaming phones. All in all, it may still have flaws, but I’m sure of one thing: It has the best gaming experience of any non-gaming phone in the world.

Display

Even if we’re in the second half of 2024, there’s still no second brand in the world that insists on announcing a flagship phone without a punch-hole. Even if I’ve gotten used to having a black dot on my screen forever, I feel incredibly comfortable when I go back to the Z60 Ultra, both in terms of my eyes and my mind.

The current Under-Display camera technology doesn’t do a perfect job of hiding itself, but it’s still the same thing: you can’t even notice there’s a camera here when you’re using it on a day-to-day basis. I don’t know how many people still like such a complete screen, but those who do really don’t have much choice.

With a manual maximum brightness of 600nit, HBM around 1000nit, and a resolution close to 1200P. You don’t need to worry about the basic specs of this screen, what you need to worry about should be that camera down there. Honestly, it did a better job than I thought it would. This time they used a new AI algorithm, and selfies in better lighting conditions still look acceptable.

Camera

The leading version still has the same three cameras, I will not introduce them too much here.

The 35mm main camera is still good. Especially when taking photos of food, the 24mm main camera on a regular phone is too wide and you need to zoom in manually. But the field of view on Z60 Ultra’s main camera is just right, which is convenient. Clarity and dynamic range are top-notch, and sharpening is just right.

The telephoto camera is 85mm, and it excels at both portraits and landscapes. If you know a bit about photography, you should know how well these two focal lengths work. Then there’s this ultra-wide camera at 18mm. Please don’t forget, that it has OIS. Together with the extra large sensor, this camera should be the best ultra-wide camera in a flagship phone of 2024.

If you want to know more details about the camera performance of the Z60 Ultra Leading version, I recommend you to watch the previous review of the regular Z60 Ultra. Since they are almost the same, I won’t go into it again.

Because the field of view of the main camera is not as wide as other phones, plus the EIS crops the footage, the stabilization is not as good on the video. But after switching to this ultra-wide camera with OIS, the stabilization is much better. It still performs at night. Except for a little more noise, there is no obvious drawback. By the way, this time you can switch between the three cameras in 4k recording as well.

Battery & Charging

Before the release of the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro, the Z60 Ultra’s 6000mAh battery dominated the regular phone market for half a year. To this day it is still one of the phones with the biggest battery. The Leading version inherits this advantage. Although there is no difference in battery life with the regular version, it has been unbeatable.

The charging power is 80W as always, and it takes 40 minutes to fully charge it, which is pretty good. The Leading version doesn’t have wireless charging, but it does support high-power PPS, which is one of the strengths of Nubia’s phones.

MyOS

The Z60 Ultra Leading version we have is the global version, so MyOS is also modified to be more like stock Android. except for a few MyOS-exclusive features like GameSpace and Camera, which are made by Nubia itself. Most of the operating logic and features are pretty much the same as stock Android, just the UI has been redesigned. So getting started with this phone should still be pretty easy.

Conclusion

Obviously, the Z60 Ultra Leading version is meant to replace the regular version. Surely you wouldn’t pay the same price for the regular version that was released last year, right? Not to mention that the Leading version does consume less power for gaming and the back cover color looks a bit better. With the help of AI, for example, the sharpened photos has also been enhanced in details.

The sweet points of the regular version have also been retained, such as the great gaming experience, the truly full screen, and the great camera system. You can certainly wait for the more powerful Z70 Ultra in the future, but if you’re already happy with the Z60 Ultra now, the Leading version will be an even more satisfying replacement.

The post Nubia Z60 Ultra Leading Version Review: The Flagship Phone With The Best Value For Money appeared first on Gizmochina.

Nubia is preparing to refresh its Z60 Ultra smartphone in both China and the global market. The brand has announced that it will be replacing the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip with a “Leading Version” Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. For those unaware, this “Leading Version” is nothing more than an overclocked SD 8 Gen 3 chip.

The Chinese and global unveilings are scheduled for July 23, 2024. While the brand has not officially announced the name of the new version, rumors suggest it might be called the Nubia Z60s Ultra.

Other than the new processor, the device isn’t expected to come with any other changes. With that in mind, we can expect the device to come with a 6.8-inch 1.5K resolution OLED display with 1500 nits of peak brightness and 120Hz refresh rate. The device could launch with up to 24GB LPDDR5x RAM and 1TB UFS 4.0 storage.

It will likely have a 6,000mAh battery with 80W wired fast charging and IP68 level dust and water resistance. For optics, the device will likely feature a 50MP primary sensor, a 50MP ultrawide sensor, and a 64MP 3.2x periscope telephoto camera, with all three of them featuring optical image stabilization. On the front, there will likely be a 12MP under-display front camera.

The post Refreshed Nubia Z60 Ultra with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 “Leading Version” launching on July 23 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier today, Nubia launched the Z60 Ultra Starry Night Edition smartphone in limited quantities in the global market. Unfortunately, it looks like the stock ran out as soon as it was made available to purchase.

On top of that, the Starry Night Edition was announced to be a limited-edition item in the global market, so the brand has no plans to restock it. If you missed your chance to buy the device, worry not as the Nubia Z60 Ultra Starry Night Collector Edition is still available on Giztop for $999 with global shipping.

Nubia Z60 Ultra Starry Night Edition specs:

Besides the Van Gogh-style artwork on the back, the Starry Night Edition is pretty similar to a regular Z60 Ultra smartphone.

The post Van Gogh-style Nubia Z60 Ultra Starry Night Edition debuts globally and sells out in minutes! appeared first on Gizmochina.

Nubia is teasing a ‘Photographer Edition‘ of its flagship Nubia Z60 Ultra which it will launch on March 28. Nubia has confirmed that this spatial edition model will include an AI-based real-time call translation functionality, which the company is keeping high hopes for. Nubia notes “it can instantly become your portable translator.”

A feature similar to the Galaxy S24 Ultra

Nubia says that the photography edition of the Z60 Ultra will offer both real-time call translation and face-to-face conversation translation, just like the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

In addition to the AI-powered translation functions, this phone also includes an AI image model for better computational photography results. This phone also includes an ‘AI Magic Function’ that reportedly aims to understand the story the user is trying to tell with the photo and adjusts the image processing. The teaser also notes another and ‘AI Smart Voice’ feature. Although, the function of the last one isn’t clear at this point. Nobia notes “AI smart voice makes intelligent interaction more worry-free” (machine translation).

The Nubia Z60 Ultra ‘Photography Edition’ comes with the same hardware as the standard Nubia Z60 Ultra that was launched in December last year. Speaking of the optics the Z60 Ultra comes with a triple-camera setup – a 50MP Sony IMX800 main sensor with 35mm focal length, a 50MP OmniVision OV50E wide angle camera, and a 64MP 3x periscope telephoto with a focal length of 85mm.

It was one of the first adopters of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 flagship chip and comes with up to 24GB of LPDDR4x RAM paired with 1TB UFS 4.0 storage.

The post Nubia Z60 Ultra ‘Photographer Edition’ will do real-time language translation similar to the Galaxy S24 series appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Nubia Z60 Ultra was one of the first to equip the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip and was launched towards the end of last year in China. Now the company is teasing a photography-focused version of the Z60 Ultra that will go on sale on March 28th.

Speaking of this camera-focused special edition, Nubia asks “Have you ever seen one with such AI?” (machine translated). So there’s probably some AI stuff going on behind its imaging. However, the general trend for special editions revolves around only a refreshed look.

ZTE has released a preview of the ‘Photographer Edition’ of Nubia Z60 Ultra

The photography edition of the Nubia Z60 Ultra will reportedly offer the same components inside as the regular version. Speaking of the AI addition in camera, there might be some added features like camera modes in the camera app.

The Nubia Z60 Ultra offers a triple camera setup: a 50-megapixel Sony IMX800 primary camera (focal length 18mm), a 50-megapixel OmniVision OV50E ultra-wide (35mm), and a 64-megapixel OV64B periscope telephoto lens offering 3x optical zoom (85mm). Notably, the camera samples look promising.

Alongside the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the Nubia Z60 Ultra offers a 6000 mAh silicone anode battery and supports 80W wired charging. For storage and memory, the regular version offers LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage, with configuration options starting from 8GB+256GB all the way up to 24GB+1TB. In the front, you see a BOE Q9+ OLED panel with 1.5K resolution (2480 x 1116) that goes up to 1500 nits in outdoors.

Nubia hasn’t released pricing for the upcoming photography-focused edition of the Z60 Ultra yet. We will update you as more information becomes available.

The post Here’s a look at the ‘Photographer Edition’ of the Nubia Z60 Ultra, which will be released on March 28 appeared first on Gizmochina.

This version of the handset officially goes by Nubia Z60 Ultra Year of the Dragon Limited Edition. It is now up for sale in China priced at ¥6,299 (~$890).

The package includes the phone in 24GB + 1TB memory configuration and customized accessories. 

For comparison, the regular version of the device with the same amount of RAM and storage retails at ¥5,999 (~$850). So the brand is charging ¥300 (~$40) premium for the special edition.

The handset arrives in black with golden accents. In contrast, the magnetic case and the charging cable are in red.

Further, the box also consists of a power adapter, a magnetic stand, and a SIM ejector pin. Just like the phone, they also come in black. Finally, all the items in the box have a dragon logo.

As for specs, they remain the same as the standard variant.

For the unaware, the Nubia Z60 Ultra is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC paired with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. It sports a 6.8-inch flat OLED display with a resolution of 2480 x 1116 pixels and a 120Hz refresh rate.

The device comes with a triple-camera system comprising a 50MP primary sensor, a 50MP ultrawide unit, and a 3.2x periscope telephoto shooter. On the front, it has a 16MP under-display selfie camera.

The product is IP68-rated for dust and water resistance. Lastly, it is backed by a 6,000mAh battery with support for 80W wired charging.

In December, Nubia launched its latest flagship smartphone called Nubia Z60 Ultra. A month later, the company has now unveiled a special edition of this handset.

The newly announced Nubia Z60 Ultra Year of the Dragon Limited Edition celebrates the Chinese New Year.  Nubia’s sister brand Red Magic also unveiled a similarly themed Red Magic 9 Pro today.

The retail box of the Chinese New Year Edition of Nubia Z60 Ultra includes the following items themed after dragon.

• Nubia Z60 Ultra 24GB + 1TB
• Magnetic Case
• Charging Cable
• Power Adapter
• SIM Ejector Pin
• Magnetic Stand

The phone comes in black with golden accents. It is just a rehash of the standard black variant which has red accents.

Further, the USB cable and the case are in red. Whereas the stand, SIM ejector pin, and power adapter arrive in black.

Nubia hasn’t revealed the price of this limited edition. But has disclosed that it will go on sale starting January 24.

The regular Nubia Z60 Ultra with 24GB RAM and 1TB storage retails at ¥5,999. The Year of the Dragon Limited Edition will likely cost the same or slightly more.

The smartphone flaunts a 6.8-inch 10-bit flat OLED display with a resolution of 2480 x 1116 pixels and a 120Hz refresh rate. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip paired with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage.

The post Nubia Z60 Ultra Year of the Dragon Limited Edition Announced appeared first on Gizmochina.

Though we have REVIEWED a lot of phones, every time when I REVIEW Nubia phones, I get excited. Because they always have something different and often surprise us with their eye-catching features. This Nubia Z60 Ultra is supposed to be the last flagship phone released in 2023, and as the curtain call phone for 2023, I wonder if it can live up to our expectations. And. Although it’s a bit late, Happy New Year!

Design

Whenever we marvel at how beautiful Redmagic phones are, we also sigh: if it wasn’t a gaming phone, I’d definitely buy it. Of course, Nubia knows what we expect, so here’s the Redmagic 9 Pro that’s more suited for most people. Like the Z50 Ultra, the Z60 Ultra still has that super-square design.

There’s also the alert slider at the side, and it’s moved to a position below the power button, making it easy to use. It’s a shame that the camera is still bulging, but at least you get three really great cameras, which we’ll talk about later. As you can see, we got them in their most special colorway: The Starry Night. it’s the colorway that was created using Van Gogh’s famous painting as inspiration, and it’s very pretty in the light.

The IP68, which is a basic feature of this year’s flagship phones, is not absent either. If I had to say the downside of this phone, I’d say it’s still a bit big and heavy. But I’m totally okay with it because its battery life is just mind-blowingly great!

Battery & Charging

Usually, we talk about the charging and battery life part at the end, but with this phone, I’m going to tell you how great it is right now. If 5,500mAh is considered a really big battery, the Z60 Ultra’s 6,000mAh battery is simply massive. It has the longest battery life we’ve ever tested in a non-gaming phone. We did unboxing shorts, gaming, camera, and Benchmark tests and it still didn’t need to be charged, which proves how impressive its battery life is.

Unfortunately, the Z60 Ultra doesn’t have big charging power, it’s only 80W, and it does not have wireless charging, which is probably to balance out the big battery.

Camera

The Nubia Z60 Ultra still uses the same 35mm main camera and 85mm telephoto, but the ultra-wide camera has become 18mm.

Let’s start with what I think is the best ultra-wide camera in this phone. This camera has autofocus, which means the Nubia Z60 Ultra is capable of taking macro photos. Other than the field of view, which does tend to be a little narrower than other phones, it’s pretty much a perfect camera. It even has OIS, so it ensures excellent image quality in very dark conditions. Without a doubt, it should be one of the best ultra-wide cameras I’ve used in 2023.

The telephoto camera takes great pictures most of the time. But there are times when it will inexplicably ……Em…… not work as well. For example, on other phones, it is popular to use the telephoto camera as a macro camera, but the closest focusing distance of Z60 Ultra’s telephoto is over 60cm. So you want to use the telephoto camera to get a close-up shot of the food? No way. But Lens Flare? It must be somewhere. Plus it has the strongest sharpening algorithm of the three cameras, the Z60 Ultra’s telephoto camera doesn’t work as well as you’d expect. So 7/10.

The Z60 Ultra’s 35mm main camera is also one of my favorite cameras of 2023. In addition to better composition, it takes incredibly sharp photos. There’s no sharpening algorithm, it’s real physical hardware-created sharp. And it has a super shallow depth of field, it’s like a DSLR shot.

Of course, the downside of the 35mm main camera is bad performance in shooting video. Because to use EIS, the footage will be cropped, you can see that the footage is very much smaller. So, the ultra-wide camera is recommended for daily recording. Here is the good news and bad news. The good news is that all three cameras support 4K 120fps video recording. The bad news is that you can’t switch between cameras in 4K recording, not even at 30fps.

To be honest, as a photography enthusiast, Nubia’s flagship phone has always been my favorite. Apart from the reasonable focal lengths of the three cameras, it also gives us many switches to let us make good use of the camera freely.

For example. The buttons here show the focal lengths rather than how many times of zoom. alert slider also turns on Street mode by default. so Nubia’s head of the camera department must be a photography expert, otherwise, there is no way to explain why it has so many features that photography enthusiasts love.

It would be nice to see a collaboration between Nubia and a camera brand in the future. The current color science is rather average and not impressive enough.

Benchmark & Gaming

Everyone knows that phones with good cameras don’t usually perform well. But the Z60 Ultra is an exception. Since Redmagic and Nubia are brothers, it makes sense that the Z60 Ultra is a strong performer. While the CPU Throttle Test scores don’t look as good as the K70 Pro’s, the maximum and average performance are both stronger.

If you’re looking at these two screenshots and worrying that it’s not strong enough, take a look at this graph. You should know very well what this so-straight line means. It makes miracles with a little higher power consumption and temperature in Genshin, becoming my dream gaming phone, even though they said it is not a gaming phone.

Thanks to its large, perfectly straight screen, the gaming experience is also great. And there are a lot of features that are very similar to its brother, such as Bypass Charging. You can understand it like this: the Z60 Ultra is actually a Redmagic 9 Pro without the built-in fan. I think it should be the best regular phone for a good gaming experience in 2023.

Display

Looking at the spec, the Z60 Ultra’s screen isn’t exactly outstanding, which is why I didn’t talk about its screen until now. There are just 2 words you need to remember about this screen: straight, and complete. While the selfies will take you back to 20 years ago, because of this under-display camera, the impact of a full screen is really impressive. It’s one of the things that gives Nubia’s flagship phone an edge over other phones.

Conclusion

I guess after watching this video, the Z60 Ultra should perform much better than you guys thought. There are a lot of things that only the Z60 Ultra can do, such as a 35mm main camera, a full straight screen, and a 6,000mAh battery, that other phones simply can’t do. For those of you who like selfies, smaller phones, and need wireless charging, I wouldn’t recommend you buy it. Others I think can buy it with no worries, especially since it’s really not expensive either.

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.

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.

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. For security, it is equipped with an in-screen fingerprint scanner.

Specifications and Camera

Under the hood, the Nubia Z60 Ultra is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, with options of up to 24 GB of LPDDR5x RAM and a whopping 1 TB of UFS 4.0 storage. It is backed by a 6,000mAh silicone carbon anode battery, which is said to hold more energy without increasing the device’s weight. The device comes with support for 80W wired charging. There is no support for wireless charging on the device.

On the rear, a powerful triple-camera system steals the spotlight, comprising a 50-megapixel Sony IMX800 primary camera with an 18mm focal length, a 50-megapixel OmniVision OV50E ultra-wide lens with a 35mm focal length, and a 64-megapixel OV64B periscope telephoto lens offering 3x optical zoom and an 85mm focal length. All three cameras come with optical image stabilization (OIS) and support 4K 120fps video recording.

The post Nubia Z60 Ultra launched with 120Hz OLED display, UDC camera, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, 6,000mAh silicone anode battery appeared first on Gizmochina.

Nubia Z60 Ultra is slated to launch on December 17 in China. Ahead of launch, most of the specifications and design details are already live for the device. However, the pricing and availability details are yet to become official. In a new teaser, the company officially unveiled some additional details about the smartphone, like the presence of a 6000 mAh graphite anode battery and IP68 waterproof and dustproof certification.

The teaser also flaunts the presence of Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC along with the 5th gen under-display front camera technology. It features a triple-camera module optimized with OIS. The smartphone houses an 18mm 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens, a 35mm 50MP primary sensor, and an 85mm 64MP telephoto camera. Nubia Z60’s exterior design looks more captivating with three color options: Starry Sky Collector’s Edition, Galaxy, and Shine.

The exciting Starry Sky Collector Edition boasts exclusive glasses-free 3D star diamond technology on the rear. The starry sky 3D design is easily visible without any 3D glasses. The smartphone even ships with an external case and a charging adapter consisting of 3 different ports: USB-C 1, USB-C 2, and USB-Type-A. A couple of USB C Type 1 and Type 2 cables are also part of the box.

Nubia Z60 Ultra will further feature a 6000mAh battery with 80W wired fast charging technology. It could come with a 6.82-inch 1.5K BOE LTPO display with a 120 Hz refresh rate. The display offers 1400 PWM dimming and 1500 nits of maximum brightness. Further, it could come with up to 16 GB of LPDDR5x RAM and 1 TB of UFS 4.0 storage.

The graphite anode battery increases energy density, which enables it to hold more charge while weighing the same. However, Nubia employs a mix of silicon and graphite materials for the anode to make it hold more charge without any major expansion-related issues.

Talking about the design, the smartphone offers a raw look with a unique rear design that features a couple of camera modules and a long LED flash. The smartphone also adds an alert-slider-like switch, which could help users customize camera functionality.

The post Nubia Z60 Ultra Specifications Teased Officially Ahead of Tomorrow’s Launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

Although Nubia does not have a big presence in the International smartphone market, from time to time, it launches some of its devices for global customers. The upcoming Nubia Z60 Ultra smartphone will be one such device, featuring an immersive full-screen display since it utilizes an under-display camera.

Nubia Z60 Ultra launch details

Per the brand’s global website, the Nubia Z60 Ultra will launch globally on December 19 at 7:00 AM EST. Interestingly, this is the same date the brand plans to debut the device in its home country of China. However, the Chinese launch will be around 6 hours before the global debut.

Besides the hidden camera under the display, what makes this upcoming device special is its design. Lately, top-tier smartphones have stuck to simple and safe designs. But the Z60 Ultra stands out with a unique camera setup that shows off each lens separately. Some might think it’s a bit flashy, but others on the internet seem to like this change. The brand has also teased the popular Starry Night Collector’s Edition design for the Z60 Ultra in China. Hopefully, they’ll bring this option to the global market too.

Nubia Z60 Ultra (expected specs)

The Nubia Z60 Ultra is set to come with a 6.8-inch OLED display boasting a 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. What makes its screen intriguing is the absence of a punch-hole, ensuring a genuine full-screen experience through the integration of the company’s fifth-generation in-display selfie camera solution.

Powering the Z60 Ultra will be the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, paired with a large 6,000mAh battery supporting 80W charging. Following its predecessor’s lead, the device may come with up to 16 GB of LPDDR5x RAM and up to 1 TB of UFS 4.0 storage. The expected operating system is MyOS-based Android 14. A recent teaser has confirmed the device’s IP68 rating, signifying dustproof and water-resistant capabilities.

For optics, the device is expected to feature an OIS-assisted 50-megapixel main snapper, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 64-megapixel OmniVision OV64B periscope telephoto camera. The latter is anticipated to offer up to 3x optical zoom. On the front, the device could feature a 16MP sensor.

The post Upcoming Smartphones: Honor 90 GT and more appeared first on Gizmochina.

Nubia has unveiled its latest flagship, the Nubia Z60 Ultra, boasting a 6000mAh silicon carbon anode battery, proudly dubbed as “the battery life ceiling of the imaging flagship”. The Nubia Z60 Ultra is set to be unveiled on December 19th.

Silicon carbon anode batteries offer higher energy density than conventional ones

Traditionally, smartphones have employed graphite anode batteries. The use of silicon with graphite in the anode increases the energy density, making it possible to hold more energy while the battery weighs the same. While pure silicon anode materials offer impressive energy density, they face challenges related to expansion during charging and discharging cycles. This challenge is overcome by employing a mixture of silicon and graphite (carbon) materials for the anode, and this is precisely what Nubia’s upcoming flagship utilizes.

The Z60 Ultra’s exterior design has been officially confirmed, featuring captivating options such as the Starry Sky Collector’s Edition, Galaxy, and Shine colors. The Starry Sky Collector’s Edition boasts an exclusive glasses-free 3D star diamond relief technology on its back panel, coupled with a high-resolution starry sky micro-etching process and a unique “lens nano texture.” Meanwhile, the Galaxy and Star Shine color variants employ an AG matte process, creating an aesthetically pleasing combination of matte and bright light elements.

On the rear side, the device showcases a fifth-generation under-display camera (UDC) full-screen display with narrow bezels. The camera setup includes an 18mm 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens, a 35mm 50MP primary camera, and an 85mm 64MP periscope telephoto lens, all equipped with optical image stabilization (OIS). The Z60 Ultra is anticipated to run on the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, support 80W wired fast charging, and come with IP68-rated dust and water resistance.

In conclusion, Nubia’s Z60 Ultra continues to focus on performance alongside its imaging capabilities, addresses a crucial aspect of smartphone usage – the battery life.

The post Nubia Z60 Ultra’s all three rear-facing cameras will have OIS support appeared first on Gizmochina.

Nubia is gearing up for the launch of its upcoming flagship smartphone, the Nubia Z60 Ultra, on December 19th. Recent teasers gave us a glimpse of the phone’s circular camera design. Now a new leak has surfaced, offering a more complete picture of the device’s aesthetics.

Nubia Z60 Ultra design surfaced in new leak

Much like the Z50 Ultra, the Z60 will also feature a display with a no-notch design. This means you can expect an under-display selfie camera, and the bezels on all sides appear to be symmetrical. We can also see the flat display of the phone.

Around the back, there’s a large rectangular camera island that covers the entire width of the phone. The camera module has a two-tone finish, with the upper half in a white finish housing a camera sensor in a capsule-style design. To the right of the sensor is an LED light, the Nubia logo, and a red dot, which is possibly for aesthetic purposes.

The bottom half of the camera module is black and houses two camera sensors. One sensor is in a circular cutout with a red accent, while the other is in a rectangular cutout.

The leak also reveals the antenna lines on the frame, confirming that the phone will have a metal frame. Additionally, there’s a physical slider that can be used to mute notifications. The power key and the volume rocker are located on the same right-hand side.

Nubia has also confirmed through a recent Weibo teaser that the Z60 Ultra will boast a 50MP primary sensor with impressive specs: 1/1.56-inch size, f/1.8 aperture, OIS support, and an “eight-wire suspension stabilization motor.”

Furthermore, Nubia claims the Z60 Ultra will feature the world’s first “main-level wide-angle lens,” suggesting the primary camera will offer capabilities similar to an ultra-wide-angle lens.

Besides this, the smartphone will be powered by the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, likely paired with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4,0 storage. The phone might also boast IP68 water and dust resistance for added peace of mind.

The post Nubia Z60 Ultra design revealed through leaked image appeared first on Gizmochina.

Nubia has officially confirmed the launch date of the Nubia Z60 Ultra through its official Weibo post, setting the unveiling for December 19th at 2:00 PM. Emphasizing the device as an “all-rounder” package, the company has provided a sneak peek into some of the design elements through images.

A familiar design with circular cameras, flat sides, and rounded corners

The Nubia Z60 Ultra stays true to its classic circular camera design and features flat sides with rounded corners, maintaining its iconic aesthetic.

Beyond its design, reports indicate that the phone will house a formidable camera setup, including a 50-megapixel main camera, another 50-megapixel for ultra-wide shots, and a 64-megapixel one, likely catering to a 3x optical zoom. Previously revealed camera samples of the Nubia Z60 Ultra have shown promising results. However, specific details about the image sensors used remain unconfirmed.

Ni Fei, the president of ZTE’s Terminal Division and President of Nubia Technology Co. Ltd., has intriguingly hinted at a custom lens assembly for the main camera, describing the Nubia Z60 Ultra as “a mobile that shoots stars.” It should be interesting to see how the rumored 64-megapixel 3x telephoto performs in real life.

In terms of other specifications, the Nubia Z60 Ultra doesn’t disappoint, packing a substantial 6000mAh battery with support for 80W fast charging. Aligning with the RedMagic 9 Pro series, this device will also feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 platform. A Geekbench listing from late October further confirms its specifications, with 12 GB of RAM and an operating system based on Android 14.

The post Nubia Z60 key specifications leaked, December launch expected appeared first on Gizmochina.

Nubia is gearing up to launch two Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 phones in China. The Red Magic 9 Pro series features the new chip later this week, whereas the Z60 Ultra is expected to debut in December. In a recent leak, tipster Digital Chat Station disclosed certain camera features and reiterated the expected launch timeframe for the ZTE Z60 Ultra.

Nubia Z60 Ultra to feature top-notch cameras

According to tipster Digital Chat Station, the upcoming Nubia Z60 Ultra is reported to feature an under-display front camera and a 35mm camera. Notably, even the ultra-wide-angle camera has been upgraded to the top configuration, with sensor specifications currently considered the largest in the industry. It is also said to support optical image stabilization (OIS).

The tipster added that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered flagship will be unveiled in December. In a newer Weibo post, the tipster shared the above image, which he had already released back in August. He said that the prototype device shown on the right, which appears to be the Z60 Ultra, has a very prominent protrusion.

In August, the tipster claimed that the device is equipped with a 1-inch Sony IMX989 35mm primary camera. However, the tipster has claimed that Nubia has not yet incorporated the IMX989 35mm sensor in the Z60 Ultra. Hence, it is unclear which primary camera will be available on the device.

The detailed specifications of the Z60 Ultra haven’t been leaked yet, but a recent Geekbench listing revealed that it will arrive with 12 GB RAM and Android 14. In terms of market positioning, it is set to rival the likes of the Xiaomi 14 Pro, iQOO 12 Pro, Vivo X100 Pro, OnePlus 12, Realme GT 5 Pro, Meizu 21 series, Oppo Find X7 Pro, and Honor Magic 6 Pro in the Chinese market. Except for the X100 Pro, which has the Dimensity 9300 chip, all other flagship phones are equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC.
