Editorial report
ZTE nubia Z80 Ultra 12 GB / 256 GB / Global technical sheet
The ZTE nubia Z80 Ultra suits buyers seeking a large, very powerful phone for gaming, multitasking, video and photography. Its main trade-off is weight: at 227 g, it is heavier than most phones of its time.
The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, 16 GB RAM and UFS 4.1 storage place the hardware among the most powerful of its time, backed by 3,874,804 AnTuTu points. The 6.85″ AMOLED display brings 144Hz, 2000 nits and 431 ppi, while its screen-to-body ratio reaches 91%. IP68 and IP69 protection also cover water and dust resistance.
The camera combines a 1/1.3″ main sensor, f/1.7 aperture and optical stabilization with a telephoto camera offering 2.7x optical zoom. Its 50 MP resolution is typical, but the camera setup is among the best of its time. The 7200mAh battery supports 80W wired and 80W wireless charging, with both figures also among the best of its time. Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, dual SIM and broad navigation support complete the package. With an overall NeoScore of 8.8, it is a particularly strong choice for buyers who prioritize performance, display quality, cameras and battery hardware.
