The yellow colorway of my review unit doesnt do the look of the Nubia Z70 Ultra any favors.
These two wear their iPhone inspiration openly, but surpass the original in some ways.
A slider offers much more direct feedback than the haptics of the iPhones Action button, after all.

This should be among thebest phonesaround in terms of water/dust resistance.
It can be adjusted to nine different opening sizes (between f/1.59 to f/4.0, to be precise).
Even something like theXiaomi 14 Ultraonly offers two configs.
Let’s focus now on the default photography experience on the Z70 Ultra.
In the brighter areas of the church walls, you struggle to make out the bricks.
The Pixel offers a greater balance between color and detail, as well as a wider field of view.
I trained the Nubia and Pixel’s telephoto cameras on the sculpture to get a better look.
We finish with a selfie portrait shot comparison between the Z70 Ultra and the Pixel.
Plus, the iPhone 16 Pro Max’s A18 Pro chip still dominates in single-core performance.
you’re free to buy the Z70 Ultra in three different memory variants.
Paying extra gets you a 16GB/512GB edition, and the highest price will give you 24GB and 1TB.
That’s a lot of memory, especially for the $949 price.
It’s an additional layer of awkwardness when using the phone that rival devices don’t inflict on you.
Its especially ironic given Nubia offers real-time translation for six languages as part of the OS.
Not that the translation feature works brilliantly, either.
It’s a far less smooth experience to the version of this that Samsung and Google offers.
