There is no need for concern about software updates from Nubia.. There wont be any 😂

    KAVELAB, 07 Jan 2024The Z60 Ultra is a fantastic phone from the hardware perspe... moreThey used to launch rebranded Nubia with Axon series in US with stock Android. It's sad that they stopped. I am looking forward to them to relaunch. Otherwise Moto and Nothing are the only hopes. Nothing much in camera. Rest fine. I am expecting stellar flagship from Moto this time around.

      Antother electro-waste with partially translated software and zero software support. In 2025 thre will be Z60 model with the same issues. My advice - stay away from such phones from china.

          Anonymous, 07 Jan 2024Suddenly Android users care so much about software updates ... moreOuch, someone being salty here. It's because android seems to take in most of the features from custom roms and baked it in, hence making custom ROM less and less favorable within these years to come, but custom roms still lived. IOS? New version seems trying to catch up on some of android features, with buggy OS updates to tag along it seems.

            Band n71 is a must if you want to use an International phone on T-Mobile. And, sadly, most phones are missing this band.

                Darth Caesium, 07 Jan 2024Well, everyone is different. Maybe you are muscular and go ... morei wouldnt say i am particularly strong either.

                  Anonymous, 07 Jan 2024No OS updates, no expandable storage and no headphone jack ... moreYou do realize the only "earth-shattering" feature Android 14 has is the notification banner-free screen recording, right? Android still get updated by Google even after manufacturers abandon them. And even as a pro-repair guy, I've seen how society already moved to a disgusting model of buying new-than-repairing old ones. Try hunting for spare parts of three-year old or more phones and see the availability or repair costs.

                                I've read tons of reviews here & there. Conclusions:
                                1- first, Chinese Rom with only EN language menu available is preferred over global one as it gets update more frequently & also less weird issues has been reported from buyers. so ask for chinese device from sellers (if possible) if you use English menu all the time anyway.
                                2- users MUST install Gcam which brings true capability of the phone sensors as Nubia Camera teams needs to push real quality update(s) for camera. wide is great. main camera is good too but colors are off and warm (most of time if not all) or blue sometimes (snow). gcam fixed & tuned HDR + AF + Colors, also OV64b results are more detailed as well. selfie photos can be improved a little too.
                                3- make sure to enable developer options as useful features for even novice users like to use the toggles there such as lock refresh rate, background apps, etc...
                                4- it gets hot as Nubia pushes high watt for a more stable 60-120fps experience on games after 30min, hopefully nubia could fix it or add "thermal priority" option to gaming space to handle it per user demand. but if one use charger , separate charging will help in temps.

                                  Narazumono, 07 Jan 2024I would NEVER buy a flagship phone with less than 4 Android... moreLoL aftr 4-5n years of use your phone will have zero value when buying new.
                                  I buy new every 2 years immediately when one is paid on a 2 year contract by my network carrier. When it still have decent value to sell it.
                                  5 years old phones noone buys that. Are you collecting them for pawnstars??? hahaha.

                                    i might actually have gone to a massive screen size phone if only it had a 3.5mm, because this is a great specs sounding thing otherwise. alas i will continue my saveing for one of the zenfones.

If the iPhone 16 would be released this year with tech from 5 years ago, it would still be a flagship since it makes part of a flagship series, simple math

                                        Suddenly Android users care so much about software updates 🙄 before, custom ROM, who needs update when you can install antivirus, just buy new phone with latest OS version and etc etc. All the shenanigans Android users used to mocked iPhone 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️
