Third-party reviews

What we like about ZTE Nubia Z70 Ultra (24GB + 1TB)

  • Gorgeous, uninterrupted full-screen AMOLED display with no punch-hole cutout and a 144Hz refresh rate, ideal for media consumption.
  • Exceptional performance powered by the top-tier Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, handling demanding games and multitasking with ease.
  • Impressive main and telephoto cameras (50MP and 64MP, respectively) that can produce detailed, high-quality photos, especially with the 35mm custom lens and variable aperture.
  • Excellent battery life from the large 6,150mAh (or 6600mAh in some variants) battery, with some users reporting two to three days of use on a single charge.
  • Very fast 80W wired charging (charger included in the box) that quickly replenishes the battery.
  • Durable build quality with an aluminum frame, Gorilla Glass Victus 2 back, and IP68/IP69 dust and water resistance.
  • Unique and useful hardware features including a dedicated physical camera shutter button and a customizable alert slider.
  • A clean, near-stock Android software experience (Nebula AIOS) with minimal bloatware.
  • Considered great value for money, offering flagship-level specs at a lower price point than major competitors.

What we don't like about ZTE Nubia Z70 Ultra (24GB + 1TB)

  • The under-display front-facing camera produces disappointing, soft, and often low-detail selfies, especially in low light.
  • Mediocre to poor video recording quality across most sensors, with issues like noise in low light, oversharpening artifacts, and unstable results when moving.
  • Subpar audio quality from the stereo speakers; the maximum volume is relatively low, and sound can be distorted.
  • Poor software update policy, with only one or up to three major Android OS updates expected, which is significantly less than competitors.
  • The camera software interface is often described as unintuitive, with confusing menus and inconsistent results between different lenses.
  • Lacks key flagship features such as wireless charging and an eSIM support.
  • Some users report the phone can get hot during intense gaming sessions.
  • Large and bulky design can make one-handed operation difficult for some users.

Verdict

The ZTE Nubia Z70 Ultra (24GB + 1TB) is a high-performance flagship powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, featuring a massive 6.85-inch 144Hz AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a seamless under-display camera for an edge-to-edge viewing experience. Key highlights include its industry-leading 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM, a sophisticated 50MP main camera with a 35mm lens and adjustable physical aperture (f/1.59 to f/4.0), and a robust 6,150mAh battery supporting 80W fast charging. While its professional-grade photography and top-tier gaming performance are major pros, it lacks wireless charging, expandable storage, and a standard headphone jack.
