I recently reviewed the Nubia Z80 Ultra, and at a starting price of just £579/€759/A$1,311, I was astonished by the quality of the camera hardware. The phone packs a flagship-level triple camera array on its rear, including a 35mm equivalent main camera with a 1/1.3-inch sensor, an ultrawide with a massive 1/1.55-inch sensor, and a 1/2-inch 70mm telephoto.
These days, it feels like no Chinese flagship camera phone is complete without a dedicated photography kit that turns it into a compact camera. We've seen it with the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, the Vivo X300 Pro, and most recently, the Oppo Find X9 Pro. Despite being a budget-friendly option, the Nubia is following suit, and the brand sells an optional Retro Photography Kit to make this slab a little more ergonomic.
