ZTE is gearing up to launch its latest flagship device, the Nubia Z70 Ultra, on November 21st, and buzz is already surrounding the forthcoming smartphone. Ahead of the big reveal, teaser images shared via Weibo have provided insight not only about its design but also the innovative features packed within.
Building on the foundation laid by its predecessor, the Z60 Ultra Leading Version, the Nubia Z70 Ultra introduces several notable changes. Perhaps the most eye-catching is the repositioning of the primary camera to the top left corner of the device. This shift also sees the ultra-wide-angle camera moving to the previous position of the telephoto lens. Speaking of which, the new telephoto lens no longer takes up as much space, even though it still boasts impressive specifications, including the ability to manage 100x digital zoom thanks to its periscope setup.
This flagship is not just about looks. The Z70 Ultra is packed with advanced AI capabilities, including features such as time management tools, keyboard-free usage, and real-time translation for WeChat calls—a first for the tech space. Other features include vehicle-machine interaction and touch capabilities enhanced by advanced algorithms inspired by the likes of Tesla, Apple, and ByteDance.
One of the standout aspects of the Z70 Ultra is its display—a whopping 6.85-inch screen with no hole, offering true full-screen visibility. It highlights a 1.5K resolution with stunning 144Hz refresh rate alongside 2000 nits of brightness. The device has ultra-slim 1.25mm bezels, promising seamless visuals thanks to an Independent Pixel Driver and the AI Transparency Algorithm 7.0, which improves light transmission.
For those who are concerned about durability, the Z70 Ultra is certified with IP68 and IP69 ratings, affirming its resistance to dust and immersion in water. When it hits the shelves, it will be driven by the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, offering LPDDR5X RAM and providing significant storage with UFS 4.0 options. The mobile experience is enhanced thanks to the Nebula AIOS, accompanied by powerful hardware including its 50MP primary camera with adjustable aperture, and selfie capabilities via the under-display front camera.
This powerhouse device will house a generous 6000mAh battery, featuring 80W fast charging capability, giving users less downtime. An under-display fingerprint sensor adds to its tech-savvy design, ensuring both aesthetics and security are prioritized. Pricing details are still under wraps and expected to be unveiled closer to the launch date. Tech enthusiasts will want to keep their ears to the ground for any updates following the official announcement.
