Nubia Z60 Ultra - My Longer Term Thoughts!

[@frankkratos]

I dont use wireless charge, i use multimedia every day, dont use selfies camera....yes, nubia is my perfect phone 😊

[@AverageDadOfficial]

Glad it works for you use mate!

[@controller20102010]

Almost same with me but selfie camera. I didn't want to see camera hole on the screen and I want big battery but sometimes I need selfie camera. I don't know, I'm confused now :)

[@xanthus8699]

@@controller20102010 I almost never use use the selfie cameras, more often than not they scare me anyway. If it were a priority then I would use a flip phone. What matters far more to me is not to have an interrupted display. Somehow only Sony does this now. Their Xperia range would be my perfect phone if they improved Australian support and made it in closer to a 16:10 form factor, or at least something that fits well with common video formats.

[@Need4FPS]

The phone is really good. Just ask yourself what do you want / need from a phone. I sold my S22 Ultra and got myself Z60 Ultra, as in past 2 years have never used wireless charger (rather gonna quickly top it up with wired charger), selfie do not interest me, need a little adaptation to software but for me its simple and it works. The only thing i might miss is the Spen even though i didnt use it much either. Other than that, this seems like a powerhouse and in my opinion feels really like a beast. (the only thing that bothers me, seems a bit slippery at least till you get used to the frame / phone.)

[@lordmushroom723]

bro wuttt you solkd your s22 ultra for this??? The stylus is way too good on the phone :)

[@fakedazzleful]

​@saturnblue I think it has IR Blaster which is better since it connect with anything. Samsung dex only connect to Samsung stuff only

[@CoolDoogBoogs]

​@@lordmushroom723S-pen is such a dumb gimmick built only for a select few. Have probably used the spen around 20 times in the past 2 years.

[@marcocerritos9147]

In the main cameras they look very similar,and in price point there's a big difference

[@phonkequinox2602]

Just got mine a week ago based on your videos. It's really good! And it works

Who need wireless charging function on phone with 6000mah 😂 This phone with single charge (35min) holds 2 days easily.

[@TechWatch-xp4us]

Exactly

[@shaufiqfauzi6640]

Unless the wireless charger is fast wireless charging like my Oppo Find X7 Ultra capable 50w wireless charger Airvooc.

[@JavisBoomTech]

The 50 watt wireless charging on the OnePlus 12 is awesome! Never bothered with wireless charging before because it was so slow.

[@jeffreytruong8918]

its a china beast lol

[@heavenleigh111]

How well does wireless charging work through a case that actually protects the whole phone? A case with a kickstand? Or for those that like to use a pop socket? It's definitely not a deal breaker for everyone

[@cguralol]

What I like a lot about the Nubia it's the camera focal length it has. 35mm for me it's perfect, not to close but not too far. Just perfect

[@AverageDadOfficial]

Yeah, it is a great length

[@cuscuztech3470]

let me tell you a funny story: I own a Find X6 Pro and I am part of a group that pushes the limits of video recording on smartphones....on this group there are find x6 Pro, Find X7 Ultra, Oneplus 12, etc... pretty much all BBK Group phones with this shitty software called ColorOs. and there is a guy with a Nubia just like this one you showing, we all owners of BBK group phones have so many problems I cant even list here ( Mult Noise Reduction Problems, Face detection based exposure Problems, lots of problems with recording frames dropping because of the very agressive thermal control on ColorOS, sensors blocked to work on third party apps, and so on) and the guy with the Nubia has 0 problems. those companies think they know shit about video cameras and "invent" all sort of "features" that ruin every single phone they touch.

[@Tatisifetita]

They did a good phone and I like the direction the take on

[@jorgereyna2049]

I am a photographer with many years of experience. I tested today doing macro and blew up my mind. As a photographer you will know that is 100% manual focus and this phone is the first phone I ever seen that takes stunning macro shots. I don't care about the selfie or wireless. If you are a photographer, it is a must on your collection.

[@OfficialMageHD]

Have had mine for about a week and a half so far. Biggest actual issue for me isn't the phone but trying to get it working with AT&T because of their dumb whitelist. Definitely some oddities throughout that are a bit of a pain point, like with gestures the back is a swipe from the side, but can't change it to a swipe up from the bottom side which is annoying considering how many things use a swipe from the side for navigation. I think once I get it working as an actual phone and fully transition away from my oneplus 7 pro I'll get used to it pretty quickly. I just wish there was more options for the full front screen phones that aren't years old, since personally if I'm getting a new phone I want to get an actually new phone lol.

[@heavenleigh111]

HAHA, I had the same problem switching from a OnePlus to a Pixel. I liked the OnePlus gestures better than Android but am fine with them after getting used to them. Did you ever get AT&T to allow this phone? I also use AT&T and was seriously considering getting this one.

[@PixelatedWolf2077]

Hello! Uhh, I have a question to ask. Did you and AT&T ever manage to work things out?

[@disco.jellyfish]

Will this phone allow you to switch Launchers without compromises (I'm coming from Xiaomis MIUI (Xiaomi 12 Pro) and changing the launcher to Lawnchair, will disable gesture navigation and system animations)? Also - is the 80W charging quick enough (I am used to 120W on a 4600mAh battery, and I am addicted to getting my phone last the whole day on a 15 minute charge).

[@alextucson9383]

Wenn ich mir das Nubia kaufe, dann geht man bewusst die Kompromisse ein die das Nubia. Ich brauche kein Wireles Charge, keine Selfiekamera. Die UI ist nah an Stock Android, dies gefällt mir viel besser, als die UI von z.B. von Samsung oder Xiaomi. Ich bin mit dem Nubia mehr als zufrieden.

[@Gassten]

Here in Sweden its 650USD for a Z60 ultra 1100USD for Oneplus 12 =S glad i got the nubia. Its amazing runs Gamecube games like nothing =D and play it connected to the tv with a xbox controller.

[@marcupton9705]

Glad I saw this more honest review. I live in Guangzhou China, use a Samsung S1 Ultra and have been thinking about the Z60 Ultra or even the Z50 Ultra. So I took the jump based on finances this month and bought the Z60 Ulttra. Paid the equivalent of 380 quid for the 16GB+512GB model. Can confirm, that the selfie camera, unless in great lighting is an utter gash...but don't really need it.

[@injinerconev]

380 quid for a Z60 Ultra? D: Best I can get here for 380 quid would be a redmi note 13 pro+ or a galaxy a55 smh...

[@firasalatiyat866]

The camera switching during video zoom is supported on the Chinese ROM, which packs a whole lot of features than the stripped down almost pure stock Google global ROM.

[@MohammedAli-bj9jk]

You switched and oppened my mind in a manner of seconds Many thanks

[@victorchiric3344]

Iphone 13 pro or z60 Ultra? Also, can you try for me to enter developer mode by pressing 7 times on build number in sertings. Then, disable smart refresh rate switching. After that can you tell me if there still is that green tint where the selfie camera is. I noticed that on your video especially on dark backgrounds( more visible with the luminosity below 30%). Thanks in advance. Waiting for reply. Keep up the good work!

[@LuizFernando-ij3vb]

Good video! many thanks! I´m importing a nubia z60 ultra already but I had some doubts about the every day use... now I'm sure I made a good choice considering the price and that the phone deliveries. And it was cheaper than a Galaxy S23 ultra!

[@bengoey]

Pity like the OnePlus 12R these phones have no eSim capability ( important for travellers and for the future). I don't use wireless charging

[@elysuhaily]

Please make a comparison Nubia Z60 Ultra vs Redmi K70 Pro .. which is better in your opinion?

[@AverageDadOfficial]

Totally different price points! Nubia is better

[@jayperez3431]

The Z60 doesn't have the same screen touch sensitivity as the RM series phones. The RM are designed to be a lot more responsive for gaming and you can tell using them.

[@bobcollinge4292]

Only thing with the Chinese phones are the lack of consistent software/security updates. I'd still give this one a go.

[@AverageDadOfficial]

? they get the same updates the global ones do... my x fold 3 has had 4 since i got it

[@james_robertson]

i just got one, it all seemed ok at first. however on around 30% brightness and below the screen over the camera is visibly green, with a sort of x-shape - which makes the camera stand out way worse than a holepunch would. i am unsure if this is normal. it also will not do 120Hz on low brightnesses. i am assuming its a defect as not a single review ive seen mentions this.

[@volteriaz]

It is normal, and infact has been happening with every nubia (aswell as redmagic phone) that has an under display camera.

[@victorchiric3344]

can you try for me to enter developer mode by pressing 7 times on build number in settings. Then, disable smart refresh rate switching. After that can you tell me if there still is that green tint where the selfie camera is. Is visible indeed on dark backgrounds( more visible with the luminosity below 30%). Thanks in advance. Waiting for reply.

I would buy the Nubia Phone, if it can do following things: - Can you turn of the screen and keep KZbin or whatever video app or stream in the background playing? (Without premium) Like with the Redmi Phones. - Can you cast over USB Port to a tv? - Can you cast wireless without problems? - How is the bluetooth connection and quality with headphones ? Those are important questions when it comes to buy a new phone!

[@eado22]

Or just use YT Revanced?

[@Neutrinum]

@@eado22 Thanks for the hint. I use "NewPipe" its like Revanced but it only works with KZbin. Redmi Phones have a build in background playback for all apps and i can't live without it anymore 🙃 It saves so much battery life (I hope it isn't just a MIUI thing). Otherwise i am stuck forever with Redmi-Phones 😅

[@TatakaeforFreedom]

​@@eado22of course bro 😂. Using youtube Vanced, its best

[@injinerconev]

You can cast it on a monitor and for yt playback with the screen off, you can use revanced or what I personally use - Brave or Opera or some other browser that has the option in settings. I see some phones now have this option integrated in the software, but if you don't have it, there are plenty of options still.
