1. Introduction: The most powerful true full-screen mobile phone Nubia Z60 Ultra Leading Edition is here

Nubia was not the first to come up with the term "full screen", but it was the only one to promote the concept.

The concept of "full screen" appeared in the Chinese mobile phone market from the end of 2016 to the beginning of 2017. In an era when mobile phones generally lacked industrial design aesthetics, its appearance was tantamount to a nuclear bomb explosion, greatly subverting people's aesthetic views.

As a result, a large number of full-screen mobile phones were launched in the market in just a few months. However, due to the lack of unified standards in the market, many pseudo full-screen products overemphasized the 18:9 screen ratio and did not consider the large bezels that caused devastating damage to the beauty of the front screen.

then,Ni Fei, then general manager of Nubia smartphones, led the way and was the first to publicly call out to the industry - "full screen" means no borders from another angle, or in other words, no borders can be seen when viewed from the front.

You should know that Nubia has always insisted on a narrow-border design since the brand was founded in 2012, but this idea has been maintained for 5 years until it was suddenly changed to a "full screen" name in 2016.

So, from this perspective, Nubia is the first Chinese mobile phone brand to establish the full-screen standard. Calling it the "first full-screen phone" is something that most people who have experienced this period of mobile phone development will not object to.

Today, after several generations of technological changes, the form of full-screen phones has changed a lot.In the hottest season of 2024, Nubia once again brought its passion for full-screen phones and brought a 100-point answer sheet for today's full-screen flagship - Nubia Z60 Ultra Leading Edition.

Although the name only adds the leading version, the new phone has been significantly upgraded compared to last year's Nubia Z60 Ultra:The world's only sixth-generation under-screen camera (last year was the fifth generation), exclusive Snapdragon 8Gen 3 Leading Edition (Qualcomm's most powerful processor with a maximum main frequency of 3.4GHz), exclusive AI dialect translation, and exclusive AI translation that supports WeChat calls。

As for Nubia's absolute strength in imaging,The Nubia Z60 Ultra Leading Edition has a 35mm humanities + 18m starry sky + 85mm portrait high-definition optical triple main camera, as well as the support of Sony IMX906 flagship CMOS.And with the addition of Neovision Taishan 2.0 AI imaging algorithm, it can be said that both the software and hardware are well-made.

In this era where you are embarrassed to go out without mentioning AI, the AI ​​capabilities of the Nubia Z60 Ultra Leading Edition, supported by the Nebula AI large model, have many practical functions. We will show this in the actual test later.

Of course, there is also a 6000mAh carbon-silicon negative electrode battery with an equivalent capacity of 6300mAh, which also gave us enough surprises in the actual measured battery life.

Next, let’s take a look at whether Nubia’s latest flagship of the year, which has a highly recognizable appearance, deserves the title of the strongest Ultra in 2024, and let’s put it to the test.

The following are the detailed parameters of Nubia's annual flagship Z60 Ultra Leading Edition:

2. Appearance: The ultimate form of a true full screen, perfectly eliminating the front camera

The Nubia Z60 Ultra Leading Edition inherits the design of a true full-screen. In today's market where hole-punch screens dominate the mainstream, Nubia's persistence is particularly valuable.

The Z60 Ultra Leading Edition's exclusive sixth-generation under-screen camera integrates the UDC Ultra independent display chip inside the phone, making the display color transition of the front camera area more natural.

Moreover, the screen of the mobile phone uses BOE Q9+'s new luminous materials and customized substrate, which significantly improves the color display stability of the mobile phone.

When using the phone normally, we cannot detect the existence of the front camera at all.

The Nubia Z60 Ultra Leading Edition uses the COP packaging process. The chin of the phone is consistent with the width of the three borders, creating a visual sense of borderlessness, which makes the display effect of the entire phone more unified.

The most eye-catching thing on the back of the phone is the three large camera modules. The imaging function area extends all the way to the edge of the phone, giving people a feeling of infinite extension.

The main camera located in the lower left corner inherits the classic red circle design. Above the main camera is an ultra-wide-angle lens, and on the right is a periscope telephoto lens.

After precise calculations, the designers set the optimal spacing for the three cameras, ensuring both the imaging experience and the aesthetics of the design.

In the lower right corner of the camera module, the "nubia" brand logo is printed.

The Nubia Z60 Ultra Leading Edition has a racing black color scheme and uses a customized grating racing pattern to bring a sense of speed and power.

The top of the phone is equipped with an independent infrared remote control sensor, which can be used as a home appliance remote control, and a noise-cancelling microphone is installed on the side.

The openings from left to right at the bottom are the SIM card slot, Type-C interface and speaker.

The Z60 Ultra Leading Edition uses earpiece-style symmetrical dual speakers.

The power button and volume button of the Nubia Z60 Ultra Leading Edition are both located on the right side of the body. The surface of the classic red power button is attached with a staggered texture, and a camera shortcut call button is integrated at the bottom, and the call function can be customized.

The fast charging adapter of Nubia Z60 Ultra Leading Edition supports a maximum power output of 80W.

3. AI Function Experience: Nebula AI Big Model Makes Cross-language Communication No Longer an Obstacle

The Nebula AI model built into the Nubia Z60 Ultra Leading Edition already has a solid foundation for text generation and can easily cope with daily text writing needs.

When faced with complex problems, voice assistants can flexibly avoid conventional response modes and show more creativity and flexibility.

Moreover, it can help you continue to write your story, refine key points, list to-do items, expand the content, streamline the text, make the article more fluent, and even translate it into other languages.

IV. Image: The new CMOS and the three classic focal lengths combine to create a completely different perspective

The imaging system of the Nubia Z60 Ultra Leading Edition continues the classic 35mm+85mm dual golden focal lengths, combined with an 18mm ultra-wide-angle lens, to form a full-focal-length three-camera module.

Among them, the main camera uses a new 50-megapixel Sony IMX906 CMOS, 1/1.56-inch photosensitive unit, 1G+6P lens, f/1.59 large aperture, supports OIS optical image stabilization, and has an equivalent focal length of 35mm.

The periscope telephoto lens uses a 64-megapixel OV64B sensor, a 1/2-inch photosensitive unit, supports OIS, and has an equivalent focal length of 85mm.

The ultra-wide-angle lens uses a 50-megapixel OV50E sensor, a 1/1.55-inch photosensitive unit, and an equivalent focal length of 18mm.

At the same time, the phone integrates a laser focus sensor as well as a Flicker and multi-spectral color temperature sensor.

So how does it perform in terms of image quality? Let's take a look at the actual sample photos.

——35mm main camera sample

In common focal length shooting, in order to highlight the subject of the picture, we usually choose a focal length of 1.2 to 1.5 times for shooting.

However, the Nubia Z60 Ultra's 35mm custom Sony IMX906 main camera gives a more focused field of view experience compared to the 24mm focal length of other phones.

This means that when shooting, we don’t need to zoom or crop, we can just shoot straight ahead.

Moreover, the new large-bottom sensor will not over-emphasize contrast and saturation in the pictures it takes, and can present colors that are closer to the real world.

——Night scene sample

When facing direct light, the main camera of Nubia Z60 Ultra can accurately capture light, making the bright areas still bright and the dark areas clear and delicate, and the control of noise is excellent.

The night scene samples not only capture every subtle detail, but also cleverly suppress noise, making the picture pure and profound.

Even a novice in photography can easily master it and instantly capture the stunning night scenery.

——85mm periscope telephoto sample

The 85mm periscope telephoto lens achieves about 2.4x optical zoom compared to the main camera, but its viewing angle is comparable to the visual effect of 3.5x zoom on other mobile phones of the same level.

Using this lens, the color saturation of the pictures taken is slightly higher than that of the main camera, but the effect is just right, and the light and shadow details and textures are clearly visible.

——18mm ultra-wide-angle sample

The 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens equipped in the Z60 Ultra Leading Edition has a larger photosensitive element, ensuring sufficient light entering and capturing rich light and shadow details even when shooting in backlit conditions, which allows it to easily cope with the shooting needs of various wide scenes.

In addition, the phone’s ultra-wide-angle lens automatically provides a distortion correction function, which avoids deformation of the image edges and ensures the integrity of the picture.

5. Performance and Games: Snapdragon 8 Gen3 Leading Edition runs at over 60FPS without any pressure

The Nubia Z60 Ultra Advanced Edition is equipped with the third-generation Snapdragon 8 Advanced Edition. The peak frequency of the CPU has been increased from 3.3GHz to 3.4GHz. The total computing power of its AI engine has reached 73 TOPS. It can run AI models with up to 10 billion parameters on the terminal side. It is also Qualcomm's most powerful chip to date.

The version we got is the 12GB LPDDR5X + 256GB UFS4.0 storage version. Next, we will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the theoretical performance and gaming level of the phone. During the test, the memory expansion function of the phone will be turned off, and the "awakening mode" will be turned on when playing games to maximize the performance of the phone.

——Theoretical performance test

We first conducted an AnTuTu comprehensive performance test, and the total score reached 2,017,800 points. Compared with the previous generation Nubia Z50 Ultra equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen2, the comprehensive performance has improved by about 20%.

In the CPU theoretical test, the Geekbench 6 single-core score reached 2295 points and the multi-core score was 7181 points. Compared with the Nubia Z50 Ultra, the single-core performance increased by 21.1% and the multi-core performance increased by 30.2%.

Next is the GPU test. The results of GFXBench's six 1080P projects under continuous testing conditions are as follows:

Aztec Ruins OpenGL: 190FPS

Aztec Ruins Vulkan: 194FPS

Racing chase frame rate: 142FPS

Manhattan 3.1 Offscreen: 212FPS

Manhattan Offscreen: 262FPS

Tyrannosaurus Rex off-screen: 463FPS

Compared with the previous generation Snapdragon 8 Gen2, the latest generation Snapdragon 8 Gen3 Leading Edition has a significant improvement in graphics rendering performance, an increase of more than 60%, which will greatly improve the smoothness of game runtime.

In the flash memory test project, the sequential read speed reached 3.91GB/s, the sequential write speed reached 3.0GB/s, the random read speed reached 481.95MB/s, and the random write speed reached 712.51MB/s, which is the flagship UFS4.0 performance level.

——Game Testing

For the game test, we selected two representative mainstream mobile games, namely "Peace Elite" and the hardware killer "Genshin Impact". We conducted the test with frame rate priority in an indoor office environment of 28 degrees Celsius. During the test, we recorded the frame rate, power consumption, energy efficiency ratio and heating performance of the phone in the game.

1. Peace Elite

First, we tested the Peace Elite mobile game, which can open 120 frames with smooth picture quality. After a fierce team battle, the average frame rate of the game stabilized at 120.8FPS. From the frame rate chart, we can see that the frame rate of the game is completely maintained at the 120FPS level without any fluctuations.

Then we checked the power consumption level of the game, which was around 5.4W on average, with an energy efficiency ratio of 22.37FPS/W. Considering that the frame rate has reached 120FPS, this energy efficiency ratio is already very good.

After the game, the highest temperature on the back of the phone was 43.2 degrees Celsius, at the periscope telephoto position.

2. Genshin Impact

Then we tested the high-load Genshin Impact mobile game. In the highest picture quality + 60 frame mode, we turned off motion blur and conducted a 15-minute test of the Xumi City running map. The frame rate of the game was surprisingly stable, and the final average frame rate was maintained at 60.41FPS, running at full frame.

In terms of power consumption, the average is only 5.06W, and the energy efficiency ratio is 11.94FPS/W.

After the game, the maximum temperature on the back of the fuselage reached 43.8 degrees Celsius.

In addition, the Nubia Z60 Ultra Leading Edition also supports Genshin Impact picture quality enhancement. Through AI super-quality graphics, the Genshin Impact game screen, which was originally lower than 1080P, is upgraded to 1116P. The picture is clearer and more detailed. We also used this function to compare it with the native picture quality.

Through comparison, we can observe that after turning on AI super-quality image, the character presentation effect is better, and the smooth transition of the outline edges and the details of the chest accessories all show higher clarity.

6. Charging and battery life: 42 minutes of full charge for nearly 14 hours of ultra-long battery life

The Nubia Z60 Ultra Leading Edition has made an unprecedented breakthrough in battery life, by stuffing a 6000mAh silicon-carbon negative electrode ultra-large capacity battery into the flagship imaging phone. Combined with AI Lingxi power-saving technology, it deeply optimizes nighttime power consumption, and the battery life of the whole machine has been greatly improved compared to the Z60 Ultra.

While increasing the battery capacity, the 80W super fast charging capability is also retained. We also tested the charging and battery life of the Nubia Z60 Ultra Leading Edition.

——Charging test

After actual testing, the phone started charging from 1% with the screen off. It took 10 minutes to charge to 33% and 20 minutes to charge to more than half of the capacity, reaching 59%. It took half an hour to charge to 83% and finally took 42 minutes to fully charge.

——Battery life test

For the battery life test, we use a professional battery life test tool - Battery Dog produced by Fast Technology for testing.

In the test items, 20% power test will be performed by default. At the same time, all test items including CPU high voltage, CPU multi-threading, AI recognition, image browsing, video playback and web browsing will be checked. By simulating user usage scenarios, the real load is restored to the greatest extent, which is as close to the actual power consumption as possible.

During the test, in order to keep the environmental variables of all model tests consistent and ensure the accuracy of the test results, Battery Dog will automatically adjust the screen brightness to 50%, turn off automatic brightness, and adjust the volume to 30%.

After continuous testing by Battery Dog, the battery life performance of the 6000mAh large battery of the Nubia Z60 Ultra Leading Edition is impressive.

The test from 100% battery to 20% took about 11 hours and 12 minutes, which means that the full battery life can last nearly 13.5 hours.

For ordinary users, if the Nubia Z60 Ultra is used intermittently, it can last up to a day and a half without charging, providing users with a more convenient and lasting user experience.
