ZTE Nubia Z70 Ultra Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

ZTE Nubia Z70 Ultra - a flagship with a small nuance

The Chinese company ZTE does not forget to update the Z-line of smartphones belonging to the high price segment. They are still noticeably cheaper than flagship gadgets from other brands, but with each generation they are getting closer to their functionality. The hero of today's review will be an excellent inexpensive alternative to expensive devices, but you will have to put up with some compromises.

The appearance of the new product almost duplicates that of its predecessor, but this fact cannot be considered a disadvantage. An under-screen selfie camera, a truly frameless AMOLED screen, extremely interesting colors of metal and glass cases, full moisture protection according to IP68 standards, an original block of photo modules will leave an enthusiastic impression on literally every buyer. It's a pity that the quality of photos taken by the aforementioned front camera is mediocre, it is more suitable for video calls. But the 6.85-inch AMOLED display is more than good. Peak brightness has exceeded the 2000 nits mark, image clarity at a resolution of 2688x1216 pixels is decent. It is also worth praising the smoothness of the picture at a 144-Hz refresh rate, the realism of its color rendering. And the oleophobic coating turned out to be effective.

Gamers will definitely appreciate the technical characteristics of the phablet, represented by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite CPU (former Gen 4), 12/16/24 GB of RAM, and the Adreno 830 video adapter. Today, this chipset provides maximum performance, amounting to more than three million points in the AnTuTu test. Although the cooling system is not perfect, throttling does not manifest itself too much, any resource-intensive games show extreme stability when launched at the highest graphic presets. The 6150mAh battery is responsible for autonomy. The battery provides its 8-10 hours of active screen time, and it also has a wired charger with a power of 80W. But for some reason there is no wireless analogue, which is disappointing. The internal storage is allocated 256/512/1024 GB without a slot for expansion.

The photo capabilities of the main 50- (the main sensor with hybrid stabilization and a wide-angle lens) and 64-megapixel (telephoto lens, three-fold optical zoom, EIS + OIS) cameras cover a wide range of shooting scenarios, which will include evening photo sessions, capturing truly dynamic scenes. Detailing and color rendition will please even experienced mobile photographers. Loud stereo speakers will also receive compliments. The list of advantages will be supplemented by contactless payment NFC, optimized Android 15. Thus, we have before us a slightly cut-down top device, traces of savings in which are not particularly noticeable.
