Nubia details camera configuration of new Z60 Ultra with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Leading Version

The new Nubia Z60 Ultra with Snapdragon 8 Gen Leading Version SoC will land in China on July 23. It's basically a slightly refreshed variant of the Z60 Ultra that was released late last year. But as the brand has confirmed today, the overclocked chipset isn't the main highlight of the phone.

Instead, the new Nubia Z60 Ultra is also getting a slightly improved camera setup. To look back, the phone released last year had a Sony IMX800 50 MP primary unit on the back with a 1/1.49-inch lens and f/1.59 aperture. The newer smartphone will feature a Sony 9 series flagship sensor with a similar aperture as the regular model (16/512 GB curr. $799 on Amazon).

Last year's Z60 Ultra paired the primary sensor with a 50 MP ultrawide sensor that features a 1/1.55-inch  sensor size and f/1.8 aperture. The newer smartphone appears to have the same sensor as the ultrawide camera, and the telephoto sensor also seems to be the same 64 MP unit as before. So, it's just the primary camera that's getting an upgrade.

Like last year's model, the new Nubia Z60 Ultra with Snapdragon 8 Gen Leading Version will have OIS on all three cameras on the back. As for the other core specs, the upcoming smartphone will sport a 6000 mAh battery, a sixth-generation under-screen camera on the front, and an IP68 rating. The phone is confirmed to land in the global markets, and the company said that this international launch is also set for July 23.
