The Pioneer of the Full-Screen Era — Nubia Z70 Ultra
Since Xiaomi introduced the concept of full-screen displays in 2016, the smartphone industry has undergone several iterations of screen innovations. From notched displays and waterdrop screens to mechanical pop-ups, punch-hole screens, and the breakthrough of under-display front camera technology, full-screen smartphones have finally reached the pinnacle of visual experience. In 2020, ZTE launched the world’s first smartphone with an under-display camera. Today, the Nubia Z70 Ultra, equipped with seventh-generation under-display imaging technology, announces a new standard for full-screen devices: the future of full screens has arrived.
The Nubia Z70 Ultra features a 6.85-inch 1.5K LTPS display with a resolution of 2688×1216, adopting BOE’s new Blue Diamond pixel arrangement. Its high pixel density of 430 PPI delivers more refined display effects. Especially in text rendering, it offers sharp and clear visuals with significantly enhanced detail representation. The most striking feature is its under-display camera area, which uses independent pixel driving technology and an integrated UDC Ultra display chip. This greatly reduces the "eye-like" problem in low-light conditions, achieving near-perfect screen display and a truly "notch-free" visual experience.
For bezels, the Nubia Z70 Ultra employs FIAA extreme routing compression technology, reducing the BM black edge to 1.25mm. Combined with a 144Hz high refresh rate, 2592Hz PWM high-frequency dimming, and a low blue light eye-protection scheme, it delivers a top-tier visual experience. Additionally, the second-generation Dragontrail glass doubles the screen’s durability, enhancing its resistance to drops and scratches.
In terms of imaging, the Nubia Z70 Ultra introduces the new NeoVision Taishan imaging system. Its primary camera uses the Sony IMX906 sensor, boasting 50 MP, a 1/1.56-inch large sensor, OIS optical image stabilization, and a multi-aperture design ranging from f/1.59 to f/4.0. The 35mm focal length, known as the "golden focal length," closely resembles the human eye's perspective, offering distinct advantages in composition and spatial sense, making it ideal for portrait and street photography.
Additionally, Nubia integrates a 64 MP periscope telephoto lens with an 85mm focal length and OIS optical image stabilization, delivering exceptional telephoto capabilities. It also supports macro photography at telephoto distances, with a minimum focusing distance of just 15cm, enabling users to easily capture intricate details of the micro world.
The ultra-wide-angle lens is equally impressive, offering 50 MP, a 122° ultra-wide field of view, and 2.5cm macro capabilities, enhancing the diversity of photography options. The new physical photo button further enhances the convenience and customizability of the shooting experience.
In terms of performance, the Nubia Z70 Ultra is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, coupled with LPDDR5X and UFS 4.0, ensuring robust performance output. Its gaming experience rivals that of professional gaming smartphones, supporting features such as super-resolution, frame interpolation, and button mapping. Heat dissipation is well-optimized, allowing stable performance even during high-load games like Genshin Impact.
Battery life is equally excellent, featuring a massive 6150mAh battery with 80W fast charging. Testing shows it can fully charge in 38 minutes, easily supporting a full day of intensive use.
The Nubia Z70 Ultra runs on Android 15-based Nebula AIOS, incorporating a trillion-token large AI model that provides full-scenario AI services. Whether it's call translation, AI noise cancellation, AI image expansion, or contextual understanding by the smart assistant, it showcases powerful AI capabilities. Moreover, the cross-device "Nebula Gravity" feature takes users' daily operational efficiency to new heights.
With its outstanding full-screen design, powerful imaging system, and top-notch performance, the Nubia Z70 Ultra is undoubtedly one of the most competitive flagship models on the market. It not only redefines the standard for full-screen displays but also offers high playability in imaging and AI experiences. While there are still some details to be optimized, its overall performance is already impressive.
