Nubia is gearing up to unveil the Z70 Ultra, which will be added to its lineup of recently released flagship phones powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Just before the official announcement, the camera-focused device has been found on Geekbench, identified by the model number "NX736J."
Performance Insights
The Nubia Z70 Ultra outperformed the rumored Korean version of the Samsung Galaxy S25 in both single-core and multi-core benchmarks. For context, the Samsung flagship was reportedly evaluated using the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, which is an overclocked version of the standard SoC.
Despite it being an early benchmark test, the standard Galaxy S25 did not perform well, scoring 2,481 in single-core and 8,658 in multi-core tests. In contrast, one Geekbench listing showed the Z70 Ultra achieving scores of 3,203 in single-core and 10,260 in multi-core, aligning better with other Snapdragon 8 Elite flagship devices.
Specifications and Features
It remains uncertain if the new model features an improved cooling system compared to its predecessor. However, Nubia has indicated that the Snapdragon 8 Elite in the Z70 Ultra has been optimized to deliver "supreme performance." Additionally, the smartphone is set to combine the next-generation Qualcomm chipset with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage (2 TB Samsung T9 portable SSD curr. $192.78 on Amazon).
Recent leaks have also disclosed that the device will showcase a full-screen display akin to the RedMagic 10 Pro, along with an updated rear camera arrangement and a novel under-display camera. Details regarding pricing and global availability for the Z70 Ultra have yet to be announced, but with the Chinese launch imminent, you won’t have to wait too long for more information.
