Nubia Z70: Snapdragon 8 Elite with a 35 mm-equivalent main camera and under-display selfie.
SpecEagle Editorial·Nov 2024·$640·Score 80/100
Z70 makes the rare commitment to under-display selfie, keeps a 35 mm-equivalent main lens for natural-perspective shots, and runs Snapdragon 8 Elite at $640. The UDC sharpness trade is real but the package is genuinely distinctive.
