Nubia Z80 Ultra

We're never really sure what to make of the nubia Ultras. They make bold claims for camera greatness, but deliver only partially, and we wouldn't say we've been seeing a whole lot of groundbreaking improvements in that area. That said, this time we're getting nicer-than-usual video and the tri-set of rear cameras has no major flaws (well, other than the regular nubia camera UI oddities), now that the ultrawide is back on the right track. We know not to expect a lot from the underdisplay selfie camera, sure, but that doesn't negate the fact that the Z80 Ultra is no good for selfies - do keep that in mind. The Z80 Ultra does bring some tangible non-camera-related improvements, like the brighter (if not quite HDR-friendly) display, excellent battery life, and the expected performance bump.

Nubia Z80 Ultra review: incredible value
Source: Digital Camera World EN→zh-CN
The Nubia Z80 Ultra is astonishingly good value. It's amazing that just $649 / £579 can get you the latest Snapdragon chip, a huge battery, speedy wired and wireless charging, and such good camera specifications. However, it's important to consider the downsides, too. The software is a bit rough around the edges, and the support terms are unimpressive. Images from the selfie camera look awful, and the image processing as a whole is very hit and miss. That said, if you're equal parts gamer and photographer, no one is coming close to offering you this much. Especially considering the price. For the right person, this phone is a great buy.

80% Nubia Z80 Ultra review: I’m a big fan of this left-field flagship’s unusual camera setup
Source: Stuff TV EN→zh-CN
It does things a little differently to the tech trendsetters, but the Nubia Z80 Ultra keeps pace on the hardware side, and puts pretty much every recent rival to shame on value. The firm may not have a huge presence in the West, but that just makes it more of a hidden gem. The unobstructed display and top-tier chipset make it a fantastic choice for mobile gamers wanting maximum bang per buck, and the colossal battery provides epic endurance. Camera image processing is a step behind bigger names, particularly in low light, but the unique 35mm focal length and physical shutter button make it a street photography star. Ultrawide improvements, a generational performance jump and the bigger battery probably won’t see Z70 Ultra owners rushing to upgrade. Anyone used to a full ecosystem of apps will also find the software a bit too stripped-back, and selfies are still a weak point. But those are trade-offs bargain hunters should be happy to make.

70% Nubia Z80 Ultra review: Incredible performance, but at what cost?
Source: Tech Advisor EN→zh-CN
Nubia has cranked up everything that made the Z70 Ultra so impressive, with class-leading performance and an ostensibly flagship-level spec list at an even cheaper mid-range price. For anyone looking for the best performance possible in the sub-£600 category, there isn’t a phone to touch it at the time of writing. An enormous battery and impressive charging – now also in wireless form – help the Z80 Ultra to punch well above its weight. Don’t think that you’re actually getting a true ‘Ultra’ experience, however. The design needs further refinement, while the camera system isn’t quite as pro-level as it initially seems to be, with variable quality and a clunky UI. The selfie camera is downright terrible, too. Meanwhile, Nubia’s custom UI continues to require attention – or better yet, scrapping – in favour of a purer brand of Android. But if you have your sights set on raw power at a bargain price, this could be your next phone.

78% Nubia Z80 Ultra review: Getting better, still not quite there
Source: Phone Arena EN→zh-CN
The Nubia Z80 Ultra is one of your cheapest routes to owning a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 phone. But it's not just that. The design is pretty unique and will turn heads, for sure, the battery life is amazing, and the camera system is pretty decent, too. On the downside, the phone gets quite hot under load and the performance drops significantly, and even though the camera system is decent, it's still far from other camera phones on the market. So, should you spend $729 on this interesting flagship? If you want something fresh and you're fed up with what Apple, Samsung, and Google are dishing out, the Nubia Z80 Ultra can be a great alternative. If you prefer to play it safe, you should look elsewhere.

The Nubia Z80 Ultra is a powerhouse device in every sense of the word. Solid construction, a gorgeous display, blazing fast speeds, and a camera that hits all the right notes make it a phone well worth the price. It’s just a shame it continues to be difficult to make the most of its gorgeous display. But will recent adopters of the Z70 Ultra be compelled to upgrade? With mobile performance being perfectly fine for years now, and the camera system being strikingly similar to last year’s model, there isn’t a huge reason to make the switch. It’s marginally powerful, but it hardly matters. Sticking to the £709 price for the mid-range SKU while boosting performance, battery life, and recharge potential is how the Nubia Z80 Ultra secures itself as a must-have, just maybe not for those who bought in last year. For anyone else looking for a big screen device that’s packing peak performance and a stellar camera, it’s a steal.
