nubia Z60 Ultra review

02 April 2024


Sort by:

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.

              I've got the z50ultra, so design is similar.
              Ergonomics, with a soft tpu cover, its not bad, it's still large, but just right for my hands( varies on individual hand size)
              Software, I've encountered no bugs.
              Battery life, whole day 5-6hours screen on time. (z60ultra is way better at 6000mAh)
              Camera, main:good, wide: good, telephoto: not bad (mfd is meh). The ultrawide serves as macro by the way.
              Screen: Who doesn't love full uninterrupted displays with no horrendous notch, landingstrips, or "island" notch, disgusting stuff.

                i got the global 16/512 silver model for £680 from aliexpress but quickly returned it a few days later.

                - too big and heavy (i underestimated this so often got numbness and pain)
                - no included photo gallery and no option to set a third party gallery as default - this means you are unable to use the recent photo icon in camera app to quickly view or delete photos.
                - many software bugs (could not recieve sms messages, random app freezing, update failing etc.)
                - fast battery drain
                - weird artifacts in camera (disabling ai solved most but there were still some oddities)
                - no battery preservation settings (i,e limit battery capacity or learn from charging habits to delay fully charging).

                there are some strong positives about the phone and most drawbacks could be fixed but it's not for me so i'm going to hold out for xiaomi 14 lite instead (civi 4 pro) or switch to base iphone.

                  Triple OIS is nice, this is why UW best on Nubia, Vivo need OIS and others too.

                    Mind blowing mobile with 24 GB ram that one is enough for whole life

                      It's crazy and hilarious how this phone has the highest scores in the Wild Life Stress test. Highest loop scores and stability, at a cost of releasing all the heat to the outside of the phone.

                      I've used this phone for a few months now and it does get quite hot but never seen any frame drops in any games I've played...

                          @gsmarena, since when did you removed the studio camera test? I did not even notice when it went away, I've been using it from time to time.

                                      Leanzazzy, 04 Apr 2024CPU goes up to 93°C under prolonged load...nope.Based on my experience with my Z60 Ultra, nope it doesn't heat up that much. I'm using Gamespace this is almost the same Game HUD of Redmagic but lesser features. Set everything to Eco or Balance to not have the device heatup.

                                      Nubia has equipped the Z60U with complex passive cooling like on RedMagic 6R but, if for AAA games long sessions, I recommend buying a mobile cooler. Every phone heatsup if you maxout everything. Even S24.
