Nubia has launched two new flagship Android smartphones, the Nubia Z60 Ultra Leading Version and the Nubia Z60S Pro. The phones come with AI features, including advanced AI imaging technologies. The ZTE subsidiary has opened pre-orders for the phones, with general sales beginning on August 12.
Nubia Z60 Ultra Leading Version official with overclocked chip and AI features
The Nubia Z60 Ultra Leading Version is an upgraded version of the Z60 Ultra launched in December last year. The device got its name from its processor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Leading Version. This special edition Qualcomm chipset has a faster CPU and GPU. Its Cortex-X4 prime CPU core is clocked at 3.4GHz against the standard version’s 3.3GHz. The Adreno 750 GPU operates at a boosted frequency of 1GHz.
According to Nubia, the new phone’s dedicated AI engine delivers a total computing power of up to 73 TOPS (Tera Operations per Second). It can run large language models with up to 10 billion parameters on the device, ensuring superfast on-device AI performance. The device’s 6,000mAh battery and AI ‘Zero’ power consumption 2.0 technology ensure long battery life even when you push it to its limits.
Apart from a faster CPU, a faster GPU, and advanced AI capabilities, the Nubia Z60 Ultra Leading Version seemingly packs the same set of specs as the standard Z60 Ultra. You get a 6.8-inch AMOLED display with an under-display selfie camera and an optical under-display fingerprint scanner. The phone boasts an IP68 certification for solid protection against dust and water and features a Custom Sliding Shortcut design.
Nubia has equipped the device with three cameras on the back, all with OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) and NeoVision AI Photography System 2.0. There’s a 50MP main shooter, a 64P zoom camera (3.3x optical zoom), and a 50MP ultrawide lens. The Nubia Z60 Ultra Leading Version can record 8K videos and offers a wide range of AI features for enhanced camera output, including AI Flash Capture and AI Telephoto.
Nubia Z60S Pro makes AI imaging more affordable
The Nubia Z60S Pro is a more affordable Android flagship (see prices below) with powerful AI imaging capabilities. It offers more or less the same camera experience as the Z60 Ultra. Its Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor may not be able to handle AI features as efficiently as the Gen 3, though. Nubia has paired the chipset with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage, the same as the Z60 Ultra. The phone has a 5,100mAh battery and boasts the same power technology.
Nubia has equipped the Z60S Pro with a 1.5K super retina-grade resolution AMOLED display that can show the true colors of the images you capture with its amazing cameras. The handset features new Longxi Durable Glass on the front. The firm says it offers enhanced screen durability thanks to its robust resistance to drops and scratches. Both new Nubia phones run Android 14 out of the box. The Z60 Ultra comes in Black and Silver colors and the Z60S Pro in Black, Aqua, and White colors.
