As expected, Nubia introduced its new top-tier phones, the Z60 Ultra Leading Version and Z60 Pro. Both phones are touted as “cutting-edge AI-powered flagship smartphones,” but what’s important is that these will be available globally, so everyone will have the opportunity to check them out.
The slightly beefed-up version of Nubia Z60 Ultra comes with an overclocked Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Leading Version processor, which promises to provide exceptional performance with significant upgrades.
According to Nubia, the phone’s AI engine offers a total computing power of up to 73 TOPS (trillions of operations per second) and the ability to run large models with up to 10 billion parameters on the device.

Another improvement over the original Z60 Ultra model involves the front-facing camera. The Leading Version model introduces Front Camera Enhancement Algorithm 6.0, which supposedly offers the clearest under-display selfies to date.
Nubia explains that the phone incorporates an independent display chip, highly transparent invisible circuitry, independent pixel drivers, and 2.8-micro fusion large pixels for top-of-the-line light sensitivity. Thanks to all these components, the phone’s under-display area can combine exceptional photography capabilities with refined display quality.
As far as the main camera goes, Nubia Z60 Ultra Leading Version is equipped with NeoVision AI Photography System 2.0, featuring three HD optical cameras that work with AI and are supported by three OIS (optical image stabilization) units.
Also, the 3rd generation 35mm custom optics, paired with a 1G+6P professional optical lens and Sony 9 Series flagship sensor, promise to produce state-of-the-art 50-megapixel photos with amazing clarity.
Last but not least, the newly tuned 18mm ultra-wide main camera takes advantage of the large aperture 7P custom module and an eight-line suspension stabilization engine, allowing users to take stunning photos even in low-light conditions, as well as capture stunning daily vlogs and 4K 120fps HD videos.
