Nubia‘s recent flagship models, the Z50 and Z50 Ultra, received a positive market response. The Z50, released in December last year, and the Z50 Ultra, launched in March this year, both offer impressive features. The Z50 Ultra boasts a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, a notch-free AMOLED display with an under-display camera, and a 64MP triple rear camera setup, making it a top-notch device in the market.
Now there are reports that the company is
developing its next smartphone, possibly called the Nubia Z60 or Red Magic 9
series. The device is said to feature Qualcomm‘s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 3
chipset and an upgraded under-screen front-facing camera. The leak comes from
prominent tipster Digital Chat Station, though the exact name of the device
remains undisclosed.
The possibility of it being the Nubia Z60
is more, considering that Nubia introduced the Nubia Z50 in December 2022. This
timing aligns with the potential release window for the Z60. Apparently, a
Nubia phone with model number NX769J was also spotted on the Geekbench
benchmarking platform recently, equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset.
It demonstrated impressive performance with a single-core score of 1596 points
and a multi-core score of 5977 points. The device is said to be the Red Magic 9
gaming smartphone.
Furthermore, two Nubia phones with model
numbers NX721J and NX769J recently received Wi-Fi Alliance certification,
affirming their compatibility with Android 13 and support for both 2.4GHz and
5GHz Wi-Fi networks. The NX721J model could potentially be the much-anticipated
Nubia Z60 flagship phone. In a previous leak, the same tipster hinted at
Nubia’s development of a smartphone featuring a 35mm camera and a 1-inch
sensor.
Nubia is also rumored to be launching its
first foldable smartphone, the Nubia Z60 Fold, in Q4 2023. According to leaks,
the device is expected to feature a 7.3-inch AMOLED foldable display. It’s also
expected to equip a Snapdragon 8 series chipset with 12GB of RAM, storage
options of 256GB and 512GB, a 5,000mAh battery, and support for 100W wired
charging, possibly with wireless charging as well.
