Nubia has unveiled its latest flagship, the Z80 Ultra, and it’s already turning heads. With its invisible under-display selfie camera and the mighty Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, this phone aims to deliver both performance and innovation.
The new flagship focuses on seamless design and high-end performance, giving users an experience that’s equally suited for gaming, photography, and productivity.
Built for Gamers and Creators
The Nubia Z80 Ultra borrows the best features from the brand’s Red Magic gaming lineup but wraps them in a sleek, modern design. Powered by Qualcomm’s latest processor and up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM, it’s built to handle any heavy task you throw at it.
A 3D Ice Steel VC cooling system ensures that the device stays cool even during long gaming sessions. Combined with the Adreno 840 GPU, users can expect fluid gameplay and stable frame rates across demanding titles.
For creators, Nubia offers an optional photography kit priced at $95, which includes a T-mount for external lenses and a cold shoe mount for accessories like lights or microphones. It’s a thoughtful addition for those who use their phone as a creative workstation.
Battery life is another highlight. The 7,200mAh battery easily lasts through extended use, while 90W wired and 80W wireless charging ensure you’re back to 100% in no time. This combination gives the Z80 Ultra one of the best endurance and charging setups in the flagship market today.
The Nubia Z80 Ultra starts at $701 for the 12GB/512GB version and goes up to $842 for the Starry Sky Collector’s Edition. It’s a strong competitor to other 2025 flagships, offering top-tier specs at a more accessible price.
