Welcome the nubia Z50 Ultra - the first non-gaming smartphone of the ZTE brand with an under-display selfie camera and main shooters on the back, custom-made to match the most popular DSLR focal lengths. The smartphone brings a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and a 5,000 mAh battery with 80W charging at an impressive starting price of CNY 3,999 (US$ 580/€ 540).
The main camera has a 64MP Sony IMX787
sensor and a 35 mm equivalent focal length. It first appeared on the nubia Z50
and now made its way to the Ultra flagship. The second camera is a periscope
shooter, once again with a 64MP sensor behind, but this has an 85mm equivalent
focal length. The third shooter is a 50MP ultra-wide-angle snapper that has AF
and serves macro duties. The front-facing camera is a 4th-generation
under-display technology called Neovision. The sensor, hidden behind the
screen, is 16MP.
The display itself is a flat 6.8” AMOLED
panel with 2480 x 1116px resolution and up to 120Hz refresh rate. It has
extremely thin bezels (1.48mm on the sides, 1.68mm and a metallic frame. This
is the first nubia Z series with a physical slider that can be customized to
mute notifications, turn on gaming mode or take instant photos. The power key
and the volume rocker are on the same right-hand side for company.
The phone ships with MyOS 13 out of the
box, and nubia claimed it has no bloatware. Connectivity includes USB-C 3.1,
Bluetooth 5.3, and three-band navigation - the nubia Z50 Ultra can connect
simultaneously to L1,L2 and L5. Memory options are 8/256GB, 12/256GB, 12/512GB,
and 16GB RAM + 1 TB storage. The ZTE brand claimed the Snapdragon chipset is
coupled with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage but the most affordable is not
using the latest standards.
The ZTE nubia Z50 Ultra is offered in two
colors - Gray and Black, both of them with red accents around the two major
cameras and the power key. There is a third option, called Starry Night, named
after the popular painting of the impressionist Vincent van Gogh. This pretty
option comes only with 12GB RAM and 512GB storage at a special price of
CNY 4,999 (US$ 720/€ 675). First sale is scheduled for March 14 at 10AM in China.
