The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is generating significant buzz, but another contender is emerging: the Nubia Z70 Ultra. Announced in China and slated for a global release on November 26th for approximately $635, this phone boasts impressive features and a captivating design.
The Nubia Z70 Ultra’s aesthetics are immediately striking. The “Starry Night” pattern is a work of art, surpassing any phone case design. Beyond its beauty, the phone packs powerful specifications. Featuring the same display as the RedMagic 10 Pro, it boasts a screen-to-body ratio exceeding 95%. A 16MP under-display camera replaces the traditional pinhole design, creating a seamless screen experience.

The camera system is equally impressive. A 50MP main camera, a 50MP ultrawide lens, and a 64MP telephoto lens offer versatile photography options. While the rumored Galaxy S25 Ultra camera setup might have a slight edge, the Nubia Z70 Ultra’s capabilities are formidable.
The Nubia Z70 Ultra features a 6.8-inch display, comparable to the anticipated size of the S25 Ultra’s screen. With a 144Hz refresh rate, a 960Hz touch sampling rate, and a peak brightness of 2,000 nits, the display promises a smooth and vibrant visual experience. A substantial 6,150mAh battery supports 80-watt wired fast charging.
Powering the Nubia Z70 Ultra is the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, coupled with up to a staggering 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. This surpasses the expected 16GB RAM maximum for the S25 Ultra. Both phones are expected to offer up to 1TB of storage.
While the Nubia Z70 Ultra has been announced, its availability is still forthcoming. It will launch in China on November 25th, followed by a global release on November 26th.
Direct comparisons between the Nubia Z70 Ultra and the Galaxy S25 Ultra are premature without hands-on experience. However, based on the specifications, the two devices appear closely matched. If the Nubia Z70 Ultra maintains its estimated price, it will offer comparable performance at a significantly lower cost than the Galaxy S25 Ultra, making it a compelling alternative.
