Third-party reviews

What we like about ZTE Nubia Z60 Ultra (24GB + 1TB)

  • Excellent battery life, often lasting up to two days with moderate use due to the large 6,000mAh battery.
  • Outstanding performance powered by the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, handling intensive tasks and gaming with ease.
  • Versatile and high-quality rear camera system with a unique 35mm main lens, 18mm ultra-wide, and 85mm periscope telephoto lens, all with OIS.
  • True full-screen display experience with no punch-hole or notch due to the under-display front camera.
  • Minimal pre-installed bloatware, offering a user experience close to stock Android.
  • Solid build quality, including an aluminum frame and an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance.
  • Fast 80W wired charging that can reach a full charge in around 45 minutes.
  • Competitive price point for the high-end hardware offered.

What we don't like about ZTE Nubia Z60 Ultra (24GB + 1TB)

  • The under-display selfie camera produces poor image quality, often described as blurry or soft, and is generally considered only adequate for video calls.
  • The phone is heavy and bulky (around 246g) with a large, boxy design that may not appeal to everyone and can be uncomfortable to hold for some users.
  • Software support is a major concern, with Nubia only committing to three years of system updates, significantly less than competitors like Google and Samsung.
  • The MyOS user interface can feel unpolished, clunky, and has inconsistent UI elements and sometimes poor English translations in menus.
  • The phone tends to get very hot under heavy load or during intensive gaming sessions.
  • Lack of wireless charging support, despite the large battery capacity.
  • The speakers lack bass and can sound harsh at high volumes; the bottom-firing speaker can also be easily covered.

Verdict

The ZTE Nubia Z60 Ultra (24GB + 1TB) is a flagship smartphone offering top-tier performance with its powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, a massive 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and a huge 1TB of UFS 4.0 internal storage. Key pros include a seamless, uninterrupted 6.8-inch AMOLED edge-to-edge display thanks to an under-display front camera, an impressive and versatile OIS-assisted triple rear camera system (50MP main, 50MP ultrawide, 64MP periscope telephoto), an extra-large 6000mAh battery that can last up to two days, and an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance. Primary cons are that the under-display selfie camera produces mediocre photo quality, the phone is quite heavy and bulky (246g), it lacks wireless charging, and Nubia only promises a shorter-than-average three years of software updates.
