Nubia Z70 review: Snapdragon 8 Elite with a 35 mm-equivalent main camera and under-display selfie.
The under-display camera flagship — at half the iPhone price.
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.
