ArthurGD3, 19 Aug 2023Where are you located if you don't mind me asking? I w... moreI live in Portugal.
Not be able to use the theme store is the least of the nuisances.
Here's a list of things that don't work:
Hey Google voice activation
Location timeline in Google Maps
Google pay resets every few days (so you have to add the cards all over again)
Sometimes I get logged out of my Google account
Google pay doesn't work on Galaxy Watch
Google photos stops syncing every few days
Basically the phone is almost perfect but since it was not desinged to work with Google services, we have to suffer abd accept these small problems all related to Google

Anonymous, 08 Aug 2023If you use a vpn will u be able to sign up for the account?No. To be able to sign up/ login you need a Chinese phone number. No vpn will ever make a difference since they supposedly send you an SMS to continue so unless you live in China it's impossible.
Backup is still possible to Google drive, the only thing we're really missing is the themes, fonts etc

Is it IP68? Or does it have any resistant but without certification just like OP 7 Pro?
Also why it's not wifi 7??

Saif, 22 Jul 2023I am not sure but this looks like a fake review.Lol. I'm typing this from the Z50 Ultra, so it's a real review.
It's not as if I was praising the phone as 100% perfect!

This is my review of the Nubia Z50 Ultra.
After the payment, it took 4 days to ship. To Portugal it took almost 2 months, very long waiting time. It got stuck on customs and I had to pay extra taxes.
The phone arrived very well packed, everything in perfect state.
After passing more than a day configuring it as I wished, I started using the phone to replace my OnePlus 7T Pro. I’ve been using it now for almost 2 weeks so here’s my thoughts.
After installing all the updates, I reset the phone, which made me lose Google Play and Play Services. A quick search on apkmirror and I got it back again.
The screen is just gorgeous, the colors are very nice for an AMOLED, the maximum brightness being 1500nits isn’t honestly that bright, specially on the sunlight, indoors it’s more than enough. The battery life is very good, even better if you turn off 5G.
The build quality is amazing, the phone looks very nice.
The China Rom is ok, almost everything works well. I have had some bad experiences though:
-Hey Google voice search doesn’t work. Google assistant will work only if you open the app, no voice control.
-I logged in my Google account, 3 days later I could not access my Google Photos app and I had to login again for everything to work.
-Google Pay/Wallet worked until yesterday where I was about to pay and all my cards had disappeared. I had to add them all again today.
-No way to create a ZTE account, so no backup option, not possible to download Themes, etc.
-The fingerprint scanner sometimes is ultra quick sometimes I won’t recognize my fingerprint at all so I’ll need to insert the pin code.
-In the settings there’s a part to add custom apps to force Dark Mode on them but nothing appears
-To make this phone work with my galaxy watch was a real nightmare. I was able to do it but Google Pay on watch no longer works.
-The most annoying feature of the software is the floating notification. If you receive a message and immediately expand it, instead of expanding, it opens on a floating window. This is horrible because if it’s for example Whatsapp, the other person will know that you have seen the message.
Apart from these small things, it’s a really good phone. I don’t think I’ll ever buy a China Rom phone again, though. The small things that don’t work are too important to me so it’s better to have an EU ROM where everything works as it should.
