Built different
I really like Nubia's Z70 Ultra because of the design; the phone is blocky and is one of the largest and heaviest devices around, but it somehow works to its advantage. There's also the fact that you don't get a visible cutout at the front, and that makes it immersive like no other device around. Combine that with powerful hardware, great battery life, and clean software without any bloat, and you have a great gaming phone. The cameras aren't anywhere as good as other high-end phones, and if that's a consideration, you should just get the OnePlus 13.
For
- Unique design with massive battery
- Outstanding gaming potential
- Vibrant AMOLED with no camera cutout
- No bloatware
- IP68/IP69 dust and water resistance
Against
- Camera doesn't measure up to OnePlus 13
- Software not as polished as rivals
- Won't get as many software updates
- No eSIM
Terrific all-rounder
The OnePlus 13 has a new design that makes it easier to hold and use, and the phone has a bigger 6000mAh battery that lasts over a day with ease. The hardware is among the best, the AMOLED panel gets very bright, but it's the cameras that truly make a difference. With better camera tuning and increased versatility, the OnePlus 13 manages to take photos and videos that are on par with the best Android phones.
