        For all users that not so tech-savvy or troll that simply shown themselves they have 0 knowledge, the cpu temp that get up to 94C in that software isnt actual reading from the cpu temp sensor. It is not even a temp reading (probably current or voltage value for other chip), but interpreted wrongly by the app as cpu temp. Thats why in the app settings, you can change the sensor specified by default because its not always the right one, especially when the app isnt updated for latest cpu. You have to choose the correct sensor by yourself, and Qcom doesnt really have the documentation for average users. Ask the app developer to update the default sensor for 8 gen 3. Or simply use built in Qcom performance profiler in developer option for accurate reading. 94C is absurd on a phone without active cooling, and no way i can run 10 session of antutu consequently at 94C without blowing my battery. I even check with temp gun as well without the back cover, directly on the mainboard, and its gone only up to 66C after 5th consequent antutu sessions. Dont be fooled.

          assam, 07 Apr 2024i got the global 16/512 silver model for £680 from aliexpre... moreMost of your point is muted by your flawed opinions.

          1) the size is subjective. I have avergae hand size and i find it have even better grip than most other phone. I said again, its subjectiv.
          2) there is Google gallery built-in, unless you bought China version phone with flashed global rom from shady seller, which is your own fault.
          3) many software bug? Failing update? App freeze? Missing notifications? I havent encounter even once of these issues since the first day. Only bugs ive seen very rarely is missing notification by some after market apps. China version will most definitely have this issues more frequently, and mine is official Global phone with global rom, ordered before the launch.
          4) camera artifact with Ai. Elaborate more on these "artifact" you're saying. I seldom use Ai for photography even on any other phone as I consider it is junk anyway, even more so on Nubia's baby-algorithm, but artifact? Explain?
          5) no battery management? Seriously, do you even once owned and used this phone like, ever? I doubt it very much because "battery seperation" is there built-in. You can even specify at what percentage you want it to stop from 20% all the way to 90%. Granted you have to turn it on everytime you put on a charger, but whats even better it also serve as bypass power when gaming so the battery wont be degraded at all with frequent small charge cycles.
          6) just as a heads up, authentic global version with factory global rom have certified DRM for Widevine L1 (for HD netflix) since last 2 updates. China phone, not available even when flashed with global rom. Its hardware have OTP serial number, it cant be reflashed and exposes to the system, only in the kernel.

          My conclusion about you and your complains is either you bought the phone from shady supplier that do change Rom from CN and sell to you as Global, or you actually havent owned this phone at all and only read all the haters and bot comment from social media because this is all spot on. Prove me wrong.

            NeonHD, 11 Apr 2024I see what they mean by the haziness. I would call that sme... moreColor fringing are only observable on tele camera, which is absolutely not in a "horrible" range as you have said. Nubia doesnt fitted the best lenses? Compare the main and ultrawide lenses with other "camera phone" that are double the price, you'll be surprised it is even better optics. Price to price with other smartphone with this hardware, you really think Nubia can offer half the price with best hw and best optic? Sacrifice had to be made, and its not a bad one.

              Z60 Ultra, 04 Apr 2024What version you are using?I use Bananana XML for AGC 8.8. Also 9.1 works well

                Boolbara, 04 Apr 2024Please tell me, does the front camera also work in gcam? Ju... moreSorry for the late reply. Yes, front camera works with gcam, quite a bit better than the stock camera. But don't expect miracles there! Gcam works great for point and shoot on N60U. The results are amazing! I use stock camera for pro mode and gcam for p&s.
                I don't have big hands but the phone fits well in my hand (with a rubber case). The protruding camera module helps a lot!

                  BREAKING NEWS!
                  The bootloader has been unlocked! So welcome developers! It is a great platform to customize at will. More info on XDA forums and Telegram group...

                          I received information that the Global version (NOT Global rom) Photographer and Starry Night editions are available.
                          The software is definitely the official Global version as well.

                            nubiarizard, 08 Apr 2024Your unit seems defective to me. If ever, hope you'll ... morei think this could be likely although it wasn't worth the hassle at the time so i switched to a base iphone 15 which has been pretty nice so far.

                            I'll definitely give nubia another try sometime when more patches release, i submitted all of the faults/quirks i encountered so there should be some good results to make it even better.

                                Kula, 07 Apr 2024I've got the z50ultra, so design is similar. Ergonomi... more'Screen: Who doesn't love full uninterrupted displays with no horrendous notch, landingstrips, or "island" notch, disgusting stuff.'

                                Fools who allowed companies to serve them gadgets with damaged screens.

                                  I see what they mean by the haziness. I would call that smearing, and I think that's an optical artifact, so not correctable via software. Also it's the first time I've seen a smartphone camera that has horrible color fringing; usually that's a problem with cheap lenses. I guess they didn't use the highest quality glass or optical elements? The bokeh also looks quite... interesting.

                                  But aside from that, the cameras look very attractive. They don't seem to inherit the overprocessed, oversharpened look that plagues many smartphone cameras today.

                                    This phone has 8/256GB which is only 570USD, I bought one last January and it's so far the best phone for the price. The Ultrawide is really good, especially because I use my phone as dashcam when I drive.
