nubia just made a powerful statement. The nubia Z80 Ultra, which just debuted in China, is now gearing up for a global assault, officially launching on November 6. And it’s telling a story of extremes: a truly huge 7,200mAh battery, a fully uninterrupted 1.5K display thanks to an under-display camera, and a triple-lens setup obsessed with classic focal lengths.

The smartphone is set to become globally available for purchase starting November 18.

An unbroken canvas and unending power

The nubia Z80 Ultra’s most immediate flex is its screen. The 6.85-inch custom BOE X10 AMOLED display delivers a 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate, all without a single notch or punch-hole to interrupt your content. This seamless canvas is possible thanks to the integrated 16-megapixel UDC technology. The panel itself is bright, hitting a peak of 2,000 nits, ensuring visibility and HDR10 support even in bright sunlight.

This uninterrupted visual experience is fueled by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, a next-gen powerhouse paired with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage. For serious gamers, nubia has leveraged the DNA of its RedMagic line, integrating the advanced CUBE Gaming Engine with features like AI Super Frame Stabilization for smooth 144Hz gameplay at up to 2K resolution. To keep everything running cool under pressure, the device features a titanic cooling system that includes composite liquid metal and an oversized 3D Ice Steel VC, boosting the cooling area by 35%.

More impressively, the nubia Z80 Ultra packs a staggering 7,200mAh Si/C battery, supporting an ultrafast 90-watt wired charge and 80-watt wireless charging (with the optional kit). Complete with an IP68/IP69 rating for dust and water resistance, this model is engineered for endurance in every sense.

The camera that shoots like an old soul

While the internal specs scream “gaming machine,” the camera system is pure photography enthusiast bait. nubia has centered the setup around classic glass, offering a distinctive dual focal-length system that includes a 35mm-equivalent main lens (50-megapixel with OIS, leveraging the high-end 1/1.3-inch Omnivision 990 sensor) and an 18mm-equivalent 50-megapixel ultrawide (1/1.55-inch sensor). For versatility, a high-resolution 64-megapixel periscope telephoto (3x optical zoom, OIS) completes the trinity, allowing for a seamless zoom range from 18mm all the way to 85mm.

The experience is refined further by a dedicated physical button shutter and an AI imaging model that can recommend color profiles or apply any of the 21 built-in creative filters. But the real throwback is the optional Retro Kit 2.0, a collaboration with Fotorgear. This is more than a case; crafted from tech nano-leather and aluminum alloy, it transforms this Ultra with a superior grip, tactile mechanical buttons, programmable dials, and a T-mount for external lenses and a cold shoe for accessories, turning the modern flagship into a proper vintage camera setup for ¥669 (roughly P5,506 or $94).

The nubia Z80 Ultra enters the global market with an unapologetic “go big or go home” ethos. It delivers top-tier performance, a groundbreaking seamless display, and a battery that embarrasses the competition, all while sporting a distinctive design — including the stunning Van Gogh-inspired Starry Sky Collector’s Edition and a unique luminous red ring around the main camera. With the Chinese prices starting at ¥4,999 (P41,148 in Philippine pesos or $702 in U.S. dollars) for the 12GB/512GB trim, the nubia Z80 Ultra could be a competitive option when it lands globally next month.
