Say hello to the nubia Z70S Ultra — a smartphone that doesn’t shy away from being outrageous. Whether it’s the design, display, battery, or performance, this phone is clearly built to impress the enthusiast crowd. With top-tier hardware, a unique under-display camera, and thoughtful physical controls, the Z70S Ultra makes a strong case for itself in the upper tier of Android smartphones.
Design: Bold and Function-Forward
At first glance, the 6.85-inch 144Hz display catches your eye with its razor-thin bezels and lack of a punch-hole camerathanks to the 16MP under-display selfie shooter. While this gives you a seamless front panel, don’t expect flagship-level selfies—nubia is betting you’ll use the rear cameras for serious shots.
The back features a faux leatherette finish—grippy and eye-catching, though prone to fingernail scratches (which are easy to wipe off). The camera module is enormouswith a main 35mm lens that dominates the aesthetic. It’s aggressive and unapologetically camera-centric.
