The Nubia Z70S Ultra Photographer Edition Arrives – Business-Friendly for Mobile Photographers
Hi mobile photography fans, pay attention. Nubia has just released something very interesting. The Z70S Ultra Photographer Edition. This is not just another camera-capable phone. It's clearly designed from the ground up with serious photography fans in mind. Let's check out what makes this new phone so unique.
Cameras That Stand Out (Especially the 35mm)
Okay, let's go straight to the star of the show: the camera. The crème de la crème feature has to be the custom 50MP "Light and Shadow Master 990" sensor from OmniVision. Why is this cool. It also includes a lens that gives you a classic 35mm focal length – something you typically get highlighted on pro camera lenses and even on phone cameras like the vivo X200 Ultra. This is not usually found on a smartphone, with a clear lean towards the street and portraiture shots. It's also fitted with an advanced four-phase autofocus that works horizontally as well as vertically for sharp focus.
But wait, there's more. Rounding out the rear-camera setup are:
- A 64MP periscope telephoto lens (utilized with the OmniVision OV64B sensor) with optical stabilisation, perfect for zoom shots without compromising the quality.
- Convenient 50MP ultrawide lens that doubles up to produce outstanding macro shots from as little as 2.5 cm.
And for those eager to go a step further, Nubia is not even resting on their built-in lenses. They're also throwing in a photo package featuring a T-mount adapter so you can work with standard 67mm filters and even put dedicated external lenses on. They've even formed an alliance with Fotogear to create five switchable lenses tailored specifically to this phone that range from an amazingly capable 400mm super-telephoto. That is bonkers on a smartphone.
A Notch-Free Screen
Do you simply cannot stand notches or punch-holes on your screen. Nubia Z70S Ultra Photographer Edition understands. It boasts a stunning 6.85-inch BOE Q9+ OLED display with a 1.5K resolution. It's obscenely smooth with a max of up to 144Hz refresh and gets bright enough with a max of 2000 nits.
The icing on the cake. The front camera is completely hidden under the screen. That's a big deal, because it means you get a completely seamless, all-screen experience with an amazing 95.3% coverage of the front of the panel. It's just picture, picture, and more picture.
Behind the Scenes: Power and Endurance
Of course, a phone this powerful needs some serious muscle. The Z70S Ultra Photographer Edition has the best-of-the-best Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. You also get plenty of memory and storage options, with up to a whopping 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage – plenty of space for all those high-res photos and videos.
It keeps it all going on a large 6600 mAh battery, and when you do have to top it up, 80W fast charging gets you back to work in seconds. It runs Android 15 with Nubia's own Nebula AIOS interface and comes equipped with all the latest connectivity you'd expect, including Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and NFC. And it's got IP69 protection, so a degree of toughness.
Price and Availability
The new device is already pre-orderable in China. The starting price for the 12GB RAM + 256GB storage model stands at 4599 yuan (which is roughly 631.06 usd). If you want the high-end 24GB RAM + 1TB storage model, you will be paying 6299 yuan (approximately 864.33 usd). And if you're eyeing that snazzy-branded photo kit, you can get it for 899 yuan (about 123.36 usd).
Overall, the Nubia Z70S Ultra Photographer Edition seems like a seriously attractive option for anyone who is into mobile photography and wants unique camera features, a stunning full screen, and flagship performance.
