In less than a decade, professional cameras have been overshadowed by the emergence of smartphones that capture images nearly at a professional level. Today, flagship smartphones emphasize their camera systems, recognizing them as critical selling points. Major manufacturers are striving to enhance these features to attract customers.
Recently, Nubia, a brand under ZTE, introduced its new flagship, the Z70S Ultra, distinguishing itself with a professional-grade camera system. The standout feature is the 5th-generation 35mm camera system, designed to provide natural clarity, depth, and color. This system includes a 50-megapixel 1/1.3-inch OmniVision Light Fusion 900 sensor, which is larger than the sensor found in the previous Z70 Ultra model.
The Z70S Ultra’s fixed f/1.7 35mm lens is complemented by an advanced 70mm telephoto camera with a 64-megapixel sensor and optical image stabilization. Additionally, it houses a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera equipped with a 13mm f/2.0 lens and autofocus capabilities. While the camera system is a major highlight, the Z70S Ultra offers much more.
It boasts a robust 6,600 mAh battery that supports 80W wired fast charging. The phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, with configurations of 16 GB RAM and up to 1 TB of internal storage. It also features IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance.
Moreover, the device showcases a stunning 6.85-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 144 Hz refresh rate, all housed in a retro-inspired design. Launched in China, the Z70S Ultra comes in Twilight and Melting Gold colors, with prices ranging from $630 for the base model to $770 for the higher-end version. Global availability is set for May 13, allowing a broad audience to purchase this innovative smartphone.
