Third-party reviews

What we like about ZTE Nubia Z70S Ultra (24GB + 1TB)

  • Bright, uninterrupted full-screen AMOLED display with 144Hz refresh rate thanks to under-display camera (UDC) technology.
  • Exceptional flagship-level performance powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor.
  • Unique, stylish, and premium design with physical camera controls (a two-stage shutter button and a customisable slider switch) that appeal to photography enthusiasts.
  • Impressive main rear camera system, especially the 35mm lens, which produces high-detail, cinematic photos with natural bokeh.
  • Long battery life (6600 mAh capacity) and fast 80W wired charging, with the charger included in some packages.
  • IP68/IP69 dust and water resistance rating, a rare feature at its price point.
  • Clean, fast, and stable Nebula AIOS software (based on Android 15) with no unnecessary bloatware or ads.
  • Good value for money, offering high-end specifications at a competitive price compared to other flagships.
  • Effective cooling performance, even during prolonged gaming sessions.
  • Quality stereo speakers with good volume and clarity (though bass is light).

What we don't like about ZTE Nubia Z70S Ultra (24GB + 1TB)

  • Poor quality and soft under-display selfie camera, which struggles in low light and produces hazy images.
  • Lack of wireless charging and eSIM support, which are common features on competing flagship phones.
  • Questionable long-term software support and infrequent updates, a common concern with Nubia phones.
  • Inconsistent camera performance in certain situations, with a cluttered and sometimes confusing camera interface.
  • Video recording quality is unreliable and lacks strong stabilization compared to competitors.
  • Can get warm or overheat under sustained heavy load, such as intense gaming stress tests.
  • Heavier and bulkier feel, especially with the professional camera kit accessories.
  • Average audio quality from the speakers, with some distortion at max volume and low bass response.

Verdict

The ZTE Nubia Z70S Ultra (24GB + 1TB) is a flagship smartphone focused on high performance and exceptional camera capabilities, featuring a massive 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage for seamless multitasking and vast data capacity. Its main pros include the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, a professional-grade camera system with a 50MP main sensor and a versatile periscope telephoto lens for superior zoom photography, and a vibrant, expansive 6.8-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. A notable con is that it typically lacks an official IP water resistance rating, which may be a consideration for durability in wet conditions.
