Nubia does not fail its annual event and has just announced its new high-end, the Nubia Z80 Ultra. The ZTE subsidiary follows in the footsteps of the Nubia Z70 Ultra and opts for a technical sheet that practically has no room for more cutting-edge features.

Nubia Z80 Ultra technical sheet

Without a camera in front, with a super camera in the back

It was 2020 when ZTE hid the front camera under the screen of the phone for the first time. ZTE Axon 20. It has already become a hallmark of its high-end range and in its Nubia range it was not going to be any less. Thanks to this, The front of the phone is all screen, specifically a 6.85-inch panel with brightness of up to 2,000 nits and a refresh rate of 144Hz. In addition to the front camera, the screen also hides a fingerprint reader.

When we turn it over we find its other hallmark, the camera module that resembles the appearance of a retro camera. It is rectangular and occupies the entire width of the phone. Furthermore, unlike other cameras that usually place the sensors together in a square or circular arrangement, here we have the main sensor that stands out from the rest, with the telephoto one below and the angular one further to the right.

All three sensors are OmniVision. The main one, 50 megapixels, is the largest, brightest and has an optical stabilizer. The wide angle also offers the same resolution, but the sensor is smaller and the lens is not as bright. Finally, the telephoto lens has 64 megapixels of resolution and also has an optical stabilizer.

The photographic kit.

Speaking of cameras, the Nubia Z80 Ultra comes with a photography kit sold separately and consists of a housing to which we can attach an external telephoto lens. The housing has controls on the top that make it almost a compact camera. No details have been given about the telephoto lens, but it is very reminiscent of the Vivo X300.
