Nubia Z70 Ultra tipped to launch with iPhone 16-matching hardware feature

The iPhone 16 series is nearly upon us - and so is its first-gen solid-state button technology, according to a pre-Glowtime barrage of rumors. It might manifest itself in the form of a dedicated camera controller - in which case, the Nubia Z70 Ultra is poised to follow this trend.

The prolific leaker Digital Chat Station claims to have laid hands on schematics for the alleged flagship, which show an extra button below the more conventional power and volume buttons - just like the OPPO "Find X8 Ultra".

As with its possibly upcoming rival, the Z70 Ultra's "camera button" is thought to be capacitive. It is also shown without a punch-hole for a selfie camera, in line with its previous leaks.

In the meantime, Nubia has put its immediate predecessor up for sale, offering a chance to get a device in which the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Leading Version SoC drives a cutting-edge UDC display for as little as $609. Unfortunately, Amazon has yet to replicate the deal at the time of writing.
