Compact cameras with a retro look sit high on the list of best-selling cameras – but a new smartphone by Nubia is looking to capitalize on the retro camera craze. The Nubia Z70S Ultra is new flagship smartphone from the China-based brand, but beyond its 50MP camera specs, the smartphone has a retro kit option that gives the device the look and feel of a retro digital camera.
The previous Nubia Z70 Ultra has camera hardware that Reviewer Basil Kronfli called “a primary camera that’s technically one of the most impressive I’ve ever used.” The new Nubia Z70S Ultra builds on that model with a larger 1/1.3-inch, 50MP sensor for the main camera. Like the smartphone without the S in the name, the new model uses a 35mm equivalent lens on the main camera rather than the more popular 23mm equivalent.
